In this episode, I interview Dr. Joseph Antoun and we discuss how to use fasting and the Fasting Mimicking Diet to reduce inflammation, get rid of senescent cells and turn on deep cellular healing and improve aging and longevity.

Join Dr. David Jockers as he welcomes Dr. Joseph Antoun to explore the profound impacts of fasting on our health, particularly focusing on inflammation and immune rejuvenation. This episode delves into how fasting; an age-old practice supported by extensive modern research, can significantly slow the aging process and combat chronic diseases.

The Fasting Mimicking Diet: A Breakthrough in Nutritional Science

Dr. Antoun introduces the concept of the fasting-mimicking diet, a novel approach that offers all the benefits of traditional fasting without giving up on essential nutrients. This diet not only makes prolonged fasting accessible but also ensures higher compliance thanks to its innovative blend of nourishment and fasting benefits.

Learn how this method is transforming our approach to dieting, making it easier and more effective.

Fasting for Immune Rejuvenation and Chronic Disease Management

The conversation further illuminates how fasting can rejuvenate your immune system and manage autoimmune and chronic diseases.

Dr. Antoun explains how targeted fasting protocols can lead to significant health improvements, including inflammation reduction, gut health enhancement, and even potential remission from diseases like diabetes and autoimmune disorders.
