Food has an amazing ability to heal, but the timing of when we eat or abstain from eating can also have really amazing impacts on our health. Autoimmunity, gut issues, Alzheimer’s, and aging have all been found to benefit from the right kind of fasting. In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Dr. Valter Longo to discuss the Fasting Mimicking Diet, a diet that helps you feel fed and nourished without completely starving the body, and has been found to support anti-inflammatory gut bacteria and support the mechanisms that lead to better aging.
Dr. Valter Longo is internationally recognized as a leader in the field of aging studies and related diseases. Known as a “Guru of Longevity,” Dr. Longo is currently Professor of Biogerontology and Biological Sciences and Director of the Institute of Longevity of the School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, as well as Director of the Oncology and Longevity Program at IFOM in Milan. He is also the Scientific Director of the Create Cures Foundation and the Valter Longo Foundation. Valter is the author of, “The Longevity Diet.” The culmination of 25 years of research on aging, nutrition, and disease across the globe, it provides an easy-to-understand, accessible and implementable road map to living well longer through improved nutrition.
Listen to Dr. Hyman’s full- length conversation with Dr. Valter Longo:
I love Dr. Longo’s work but I am not a huge fan of a “fasting-mimicking” diet. Personally, I am less hungry when I don’t eat at all because eating small amounts of food only makes me incredibly hungry.
I agree, eating small amounts of food is just some tease-crap for many of us and I’m not here for that lol.
I bought his book but later gave it away because it just didn’t resonate with me. (And he needs to comb his hair.)
@TheCrunchySopa Yeah 😀 I have done 3-day fasts but once I start eatig a little bit, I can’t stop and I am hungry again after a few hours.
@Joan Black Interesting. What made you think like that?
@Optimize with Science same here.. I can pull off multiple day fasts, 3 day fasts etc but I just can’t or at least won’t allow myself to b/c once it’s my meal time.. I don’t like to be interrupted and I wanna be well satiated. now I don’t get hungry in a couple hrs like yourself, I simply just don’t like having nimbles of food if I’m gonna consume/put anything in my mouth lol.

I have done it and it always reset my body, mind and spirit! It is increíble! I didn’t know about it until now, for me it was an intuitive process!! Thank you Dr. Hyman!
I didn’t hear them explain how to fast without feeling hungry?
Because mr longo is trying to sell a program of just not eating he wants you to pay him for the answer,fasting doesn’t cost anything,he’s a conman like a snake oil salesman
Me neither.
