Does fasting really extend your life? Or are we being misled by health trends? In this episode, Dr. Valter Longo, one of the world’s leading longevity researchers, breaks down the science behind fasting, nutrition, and disease prevention. We dive deep into the fasting-mimicking diet, the real impact of high-protein diets, and why ultra-processed foods and modern comfort are silently sabotaging your health. Dr. Longo also reveals what the Longevity Diet actually looks like and how dietary interventions can help prevent chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and even cognitive decline.
