Fasting Benefits with Dr. Joseph Antoun
Moms for Wellness
08/03/22 • 45 min
Do you know what the vast benefits of fasting are?
What is the difference between intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting?
Is fasting even good for you?
What are the secrets of a long healthy life?
What can I do today to impact the length and quality of my life?
Dr. Joseph Antoun joins us and sets the record straight on fasting. Dr. Antoun shares his vast expertise and breaks it down into simple ways for us to picture and understand how our body responds to fasting and the amazing benefits that fasting provides to the body.
But who is Dr. Antoun? I mention in the show that Dr. Antoun has an impressive pedigree.
Dr. Joseph Antoun is CEO & Chairman of the Board of L-Nutra and Member of the Forbes Business Development Council. He's the former CEO of Health Systems Reform, a boutique consultancy aimed at improving public health by reforming health systems, management, and delivery.
Prior to that, he was Director of Health Policy at the University of Chicago, Editor in Chief of the Journal of Health Systems and Reform and head of Business Development for Eli Lilly & Co. He completed his studies in Public Policy at Harvard University, in Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, and his Doctorate in Medicine and Masters’ in Medical and Biological Sciences at Saint Joseph University.
Dr. Antoun always knew he wanted to help others through medicine, which is why he trained to be a physician. He figured out that medicine was actually sick care, treating patients after their health had already declined. Dr. Antoun wanted to be at the forefront of changing our current healthcare system of sick care to a more proactive approach, which meant taking care of our existing good health. After years of working at pharmaceutical companies and, later, focusing on public health policy he found what he was searching for at L-Nutra, Inc., a cutting-edge nutri-technology company.
As CEO of L-Nutra, Dr. Antoun works with one of the leading global researchers in the area of longevity – Professor Valter Longo, Director of the Longevity Center at USC. Together they provide education and products to support a lifestyle that extends healthspan.
Take a listen to this fascinating and enlightening conversation!
**Some notes from my post-interview conversation with Dr. Antoun:
I shared that fasting clearly has benefits because it is commanded by God in the Bible to the Israelites. Dr. Antoun responded that the word "fasting" is the only common word in all the world religions. I find that fascinating!
To clarify, Dr. Antoun does not recommend water-only fasting. The beauty of the Fasting-Mimicking Diet is that one gains the benefits of fasting but is able to sustain the body by giving nutrients through food.
Dr. Antoun graciously offered a dicsount on the Prolon Box to our audience. To get details and to connect with L-Nutra and get more info, see all the links below.

Does the food you eat really affect your health?

Does the food you eat really affect your health?
I don’t know if people are in denial or they simply don’t want to know how much food really does affect them...but I will tell you right now, up front, yes, food does in fact affect your health...and in very dramatic ways. And it is our role as moms to teach our children...to lead them in creating healthy habits.
To help them understand the relationship...the connection between the foods they eat and the health of their body... the connection between the foods they eat and how they feel.
So this is my little message to you, mamas! My encouragement to you to keep on leading your family in healthy habits because it will have a lifetime of repercussions...and even generational repercussions!
One of the biggest things for us is to understand that the way we are feeling is NOT the way we ought to be feeling. I didn’t realize that I wasn’t supposed to be feeling bloated and gassy and uncomfortable all the time. Listen, Indigestion, bloating, cramping....you name it...these are sooo so common in the general American public....and it is not supposed to be part of the normal everyday human experience.
It’s due to a lot of things....but one of the biggest culprits is the foods that we are eating.
Sooo, if we can teach our kids while they are young that there is, in fact, a direct relationship between what we eat and how we feel – our overall health, they will be better off over the long haul.
Gut health is SO important!!
