Dr Joseph Antoun, physician and CEO of L-Nutra has a passion to bring fasting to the world and help humanity to live in a more healthy way and longer He talks with Angela about his research and how the fast mimicking diet means you can move to autophagy and protect your lean muscle Understand more about how to optimise fasting and longevity in this informative episode   KEY TAKEAWAYS There are 2 categories of fasting – intermittent and periodic Autophagy begins for most people at around 48 hours and the most important aspect of fasting is stressing the body Stress elevates cortisol and with a focus on protein you can restructure muscle The duality of fasting means you are accessing your fat reserve and protecting lean muscle mass Fasting allows you to go beyond day 2 and Prolon’s five-day regime  effectively supports this A cellular fast means the cells are getting nutrients but not spiking insulin The body switches to keto and autophagy on days 2 and 3 and then on days 4 and 5 the feeling is euphoric and  cells are being rejuvenated The mimicking fasting diet puts the body in a good metabolic state to optimise nutrition around your treatment Intermittent fasting can help to keep cancer cells in check in the early stages Cancer cells can’t survive fasting mode because they need calories, they don’t know how to stop replicating by design   BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s not sci-fi it’s the speed of the crisis, the intensity of the crisis and how much reserves you have to compensate for it’ ‘If you want to benefit from autophagy you have to give it time’ ‘Prolon is short enough that people can do it but long enough to get people into autophagy’ You should be aiming to under nourish cancer cells not feeding them to grow   RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjosephantoun https://mobile.twitter.com/drjosephantoun https://prolon.co.uk/ https://l-nutra.com/   VALUABLE RESOURCES High-Performance Health Podcast Series -https://angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts/ Biohack Your Way to Your Best Self - Join My Exclusive Female Biohacker Collective – angelafosteracademy.com/female-biohacker-collective-enrol Get a free health check and personalised report www.yourtotalhealthcheck.com Watch my Free Masterclass on how to master your metabolism -www.angelafosteracademy.com/master-your-metabolism Download my free Guide to Harmonising Your Hormones -www.angelafosterperformance.com/hormones Download my  free Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fasting/ Download my free Guide to Sleep Like a Boss -www.angelafosterperformance.com/sleep Join my free Facebook Community -www.facebook.com/groups/femalebiohacker Get my bestselling book Rethink Health - https://amzn.to/3vbzYOV      ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Joseph Antoun always knew he wanted to help others through medicine, which is why he trained to be a physician. Eventually, he figured out that medicine was actually sick care, treating patients after their health had already declined. Dr. Antoun wanted to be at the forefront of changing our current healthcare system of sick care to a more proactive approach, which meant taking care of our existing good health. After years of working at pharmaceutical companies and, later, focusing on public health policy, he found what he was searching for at L-Nutra, Inc., a cutting-edge nutri-technology company. Dr. Joseph Antoun is CEO & Chairman of the Board of L-Nutra and Member of the Forbes Business Development Council. He's the former CEO of Health Systems Reform, a boutique consultancy aimed at improving public health by reforming health systems, management, and delivery. Prior to that, he was Director of Health Policy at the University of Chicago, Editor in Chief of the Journal of Health Systems and Reform and head of Business Development for Eli Lilly & Co. He completed his studies in Public Policy at Harvard University, in Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, and his Doctorate in Medicine and Masters’ in Medical and Biological Sciences at Saint Joseph University.   CONTACT DETAILS https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjosephantoun https://mobile.twitter.com/drjosephantoun     ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health, and Performance Coach.
