Slow Ageing, Fight Disease, and Manage Your Weight | Valter Longo, PhD

In Episode #106, I sat down with Dr Valter Longo, PhD, to talk about eating to beat disease, manage your body weight, and live a long, healthy life.

Specifically, we covered Roy Walford’s ‘Biosphere 2’ research; calorie restriction versus fasting; fasting and biomarkers of cancer, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease; findings from clinical trials on the ‘fasting-mimicking’ diet; and eating for longevity. We also discussed what we can learn from centenarians and how animal protein compares with plant protein.
