About this listen

Can fasting and food timing hold the key to preventing Alzheimer's? In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Valter Longo, a pioneer in the field of fasting and longevity science and founder of The Create Cures Foundation. He is a biochemist and longevity researcher who leads groundbreaking work on aging, fasting-mimicking diets (FMD), and disease prevention.


Today, Dr. Longo shares his groundbreaking research on aging, how fasting influences brain health, and the real potential of FMD in preventing Alzheimer's and reversing certain aspects of the aging process.


If you're ready to explore a revolutionary approach to brain health and longevity, tune in and learn how you can incorporate fasting into your lifestyle for long-term cognitive benefits.


“Fasting probably has the most powerful changes that you can imagine in the brain… This is a challenge for you: Find something that will cause more gene expression changes in the brain than fasting–I doubt that you'll find it.”

~ Dr. Valter Longo
