To date, L-Nutra had numerous scientific breakthroughs, attracted over $36 million in funding and carried out 14 clinical trials. One of their key discoveries was unlocking the benefits of periodic fasting (fasting for more than two days). Their research showed that periodic fasting induces a special stress leading to cellular rejuvenation – a powerful mechanism for slowing cellular aging. \nIn this conversation Dr. Hsu talks about the research around fasting, pointing to the work of Dr. Valter Longo (check out Episode 63!). Dr. Hsu describes what fasting is, and how fasting mimicking diet is different, explaining physiological versus cellular fasting. Dr. Hsu goes in detail on the benefits of fasting (explaining autophagy; weight loss, specifically belly fat; improved relationship with food; mental clarity and others), and explains why mimicking fasting can be a valuable, and often less intimidating way to improve health and reverse chronic disease.
