06/11/21 • 44 min

There are a million fasting protocols out there, but some have better research behind them than others. Dr. Valter Longo, head of longevity at the University of Southern California, is a giant of gerontology and cancer research. His fasting protocol, called the fasting mimicking diet, is designed to help "everyday Joes" safely implement a 5 day fasting protocol from the comfort of home. In this episode of the podcast, John and Kristin discuss John's recent experience with Dr. Longo's fasting mimicking diet plus the purported benefits, which include cellular regeneration, cancer prevention, and the regeneration of stem cells.

Orthorexia, Clean Keto, PPARA genes, Cholesterol Hyper-Responders, and More With Kristin Kirkpatrick, RD

Many of us have found great benefit in building a personalized health regimen, but how much health and wellness information is too much? Should we tune into nutrition conversations, like this one, only for as long as we need to to learn what works for us, or is there a benefit to continually staying on the "cutting edge?" In today's show, we discuss Orthorexia, a condition defined by unhealthy obsessions with health and wellness, and specifically food. People suffering from orthorexia take clean eating too far, transitioning a healthy instinct into an unhealthy obsession. Later in the show, we also discuss ketogenic diets, and specifically, Kristin's recent TODAY show article on going keto in a clean, sustainable way.
