Creator description · original language
Dr. Valter Longo recommends just 12 to 13 hours of daily fasting for most people — not the 16+ hour marathons many self-respecting biohackers swear by. He says going longer every day could backfire, triggering nutrient deficiencies and long-term issues.
You may find this podcast surprising, and you may change your diet on the back of it.
