The Science of Fasting, Longevity, and Reversing Biological Age with Dr. Joseph Antoun
This episode is a game-changer for anyone seeking to optimize their healthspan, combat chronic disease, and understand the revolutionary science of fasting-mimicking diets (FMD). Dr. Joseph Antoun, a physician-scientist and longevity pioneer, unveils how to "hack" aging at the cellular level, exposes hidden dangers in the food industry, and shares actionable steps to reverse biological age. Perfect for:
- Those curious about fasting, autophagy, and metabolic health.
- Anyone managing diabetes or seeking sustainable weight care.
- Listeners tired of quick fixes and eager for science-backed longevity strategies.
Key Takeaways
Fasting-Mimicking Diets (FMD) vs. Traditional Fasting:
- FMD triggers autophagy (cellular detox) by Day 3 without starvation.
- ProLon’s 5-day plant-based kit reverses biological age by 2.5 years per cycle (3 cycles/year = ~11.5 years younger over 20 years).
Diabetes & Metabolic Health:
- FMD addresses root causes (aging cells, muscle loss, insulin resistance) — 66% reduce diabetes meds in 6 months.
- Ozempic/GLP-1 drugs accelerate muscle loss (equivalent to 20 years of aging), while FMD preserves muscle.
Food Industry Secrets:
- U.S. companies legally hide additives under 2% (e.g., silica in protein powders).
- ProLon’s “longevity pantry” (clean protein, almond-cacao spreads) prioritizes transparency.
Daily Longevity Habits:
- Eat dinner by 6 PM, prioritize breakfast.
- Focus on daily movement (not just gym sessions) to maintain muscle.
