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. I was joined on The Doctor’s Farmacy by Dr. Valter Longo to dive into the popular and complex topic of fasting.
Valter’s research and development of the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), a diet that helps you feel fed and nourished without completely starving the body, has been found to support anti-inflammatory gut bacteria and support the mechanisms that lead to better aging. Valter breaks down the physiological reasons why and how FMD measures up to other practices, like water fasting which can actually create leaky gut.
