In This Episode:
Unlock the secrets to aging gracefully and healing deeply in this episode with Dr. Joseph Antoun! Discover how fasting and the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) can reduce inflammation, eliminate senescent cells, and activate powerful cellular repair mechanisms.
What if the key to feeling younger and living longer isn’t in another supplement, but in something as simple—and ancient—as fasting? In this episode, Dr. Jockers talks with Dr. Joseph Antoun about how strategic fasting can reduce inflammaging (the chronic inflammation that accelerates aging) and rejuvenate your immune system.
The Hidden Danger of “Zombie” Cells
As we age, our bodies accumulate old, dysfunctional cells that trigger inflammation and disease. Dr. Antoun explains how fasting helps sweep out these so-called “zombie” cells, replacing them with healthier, more resilient ones.
This process not only slows aging but also strengthens your defenses against conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disorders.
Why Fasting Is the Reset Button Your Body Needs
Most of us eat too frequently, keeping our bodies in constant growth mode and leaving little room for repair. Through fasting and fasting-mimicking diets, you can activate autophagy—the body’s powerful self-cleaning process—and give your cells the reset they need to thrive. This episode reveals why just a few days of structured fasting can transform your long-term health.
