Ep. 77 - Could a “Fasting Mimicking Diet” Change Your Life?

Fasting and fasting mimicking diets (FMD) are all the rage today, and for good reason. There are numerous, scientifically-proven physical health benefits to fasting, including increased lifespan, improved cardiovascular health, a healthier immune system, losing fat while preserving muscle, and more. And there are also a number of mental health benefits that can help you feel better, do better, and live better in general. In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein talks about her experience doing Prolon, the 5-day fasting mimicking diet developed by Dr. Valter Longo, a researcher at USC. She summarizes how fasting can help us become more mindful, more grateful for what we have, better ride out life’s stresses, reduce our dependence on unhealthy foods, and more.
