180: The truth about fasting (and when you SHOULD eat)

by Dr. Steven Gundry | Nov 2, 2021 | 0 comments

You know, people are always asking me for recommendations about how to live longer, healthier lives.

Well, if you read my book, The Longevity Paradox, you might already know my answer.

Because one thing that can dramatically boost your healthspan (and even your lifespan) is something called a 5-day vegan fast. In fact, this simple technique is like taking your mitochondria on a 5-day spa retreat (good news – you can still eat on this fast).

And my guest is one of the biggest proponents of this type of fas-mimicking. Dr. Joseph Antoun is the CEO of L-Nutra, which focuses on providing people with the knowledge and tools to live to 110 and beyond.

On this episode, Dr. Antoun and I talk about shifting away from “sick care;” how a fast-mimicking diet can help YOU live your longest, fullest life; and why most of the foods we’re eating these days are actually LESS nutritious than they used to be.

On this episode you’ll learn:
