The Dan Buettner Podcast | Fasting, Cancer & Clinical Decision-Making with Valter Longo

From time-restricted eating in early-stage cases to more structured approaches like the fasting mimicking diet in advanced stages, strategies are tailored based on condition, weight, and muscle mass. The key step: bringing scientific evidence into the conversation with the oncologist to support an informed, shared decision.
