078 Dr. Joseph Antoun. Fasting and Nutrition for Healthy Aging and Longevity

Throughout the animal kingdom, from fruit flies to worms to primates, one of the critical keys to longevity, or lifespan, and even more important, health span, is caloric restriction. Ensuring that you obtain all the essential nutrients, yet eat less of them, is one of the ways to do that. Eating food within a narrow time window rather than continually throughout the day, also flips genetic switches that cleanse our cells and support a healthy metabolism. While many experts affirm the health value of fasting in different ways, the question of what is meant by healthy nutrition arouses much more controversy.Today I talk with Dr. Joseph Anton, CEO and board chairman of L-Nutra, a nutrition technology company. Dr. Anton has dedicated his extensive professional experience to reforming health systems towards preventative care, creating a market for healthy aging by launching the first healthy aging product, and emphasizing fasting as a longevity lifestyle.We discuss a different perspective on fasting for longevity, which led to the creating of a Fasting Mimicking Technology Platform. Our conversation ranges through intermittent fasting, eating within circadian rhythms, plant-based diets, ketogenic eating and whether one can achieves an effective state of autophagy after anything less than a 2 day fast.  Contact Dr. AntounWebsite: www.l-nutra.com https://mobile.twitter.com/drjosephantoun https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjosephantoun/ Contact Dr. Gillian Lockitch about Growing Older Living Younger:Schedule a free Discovery Call with Dr. Lockitch Order Growing Older Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and The Art of Retiring Comfortably at  gillianlockitch.com Join the Growing Older Living Younger Private Facebook Community, to meet people, who like you, are discovering and sharing ways to age in great health.
