Unlock the power of your next meal to not only nourish but also rejuvenate and extend your life. I’m thrilled to share the enlightening conversation I had with Dr. Joseph Antoun, CEO of El Nutra and Prolon, who brings a wealth of knowledge from the fields of medicine and nutritional science. Dr. Antoun delves into the intricate ways food can act as our most powerful medicine, highlighting the significant role fasting-mimicking diets play in cellular health and disease prevention. We tackled prevalent myths about autophagy, discussing the timeline for its activation during fasting and the cognitive advantages of ketogenic diets and fasting in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Our exchange sheds light on how dietary strategies are not only scientifically sound but also practically achievable, potentially ushering in a new era of healthcare that prioritizes nutrition.Step into a future where your diet is personalized to your health needs and where insurance companies potentially cover the cost of medically tailored meals. In this episode, we delve into how the healthcare system is evolving to incorporate nutrition as a fundamental aspect of disease management. We take a look at the economic and practical implications of preventative nutrition, examining clinical trials and published results that support the transformational capacity of diet in treating and preventing chronic diseases. Moreover, Dr. Antoun and I explore the alignment of specific dietary needs with longevity-focused eating patterns and the ways in which fasting-mimicking diets can address both metabolic and cellular health concerns. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion as we chart the course for a healthier, longer life through the science of nutrition.Please support this podcast by checking out our sponsor (20% off with this link):https://prolonlife.com/Lufkin*** CONNECT WITH ROB ON SOCIAL MEDIA ( ~250k)*** Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X(Twitter): https://twitter.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/RobertLufkinMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robertlufkinmd Threads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmd *** SPONSORSHIPS & BRANDS ***We do work with sponsors and brands.
