Over 60% of patients undergoing conventional treatments experience severe side effects, highlighting the need for complementary therapies that enhance efficacy and reduce harm.Dr. Valter Longo, a leading figure in aging and nutritional science, has introduced a groundbreaking approach known as the fasting mimicking diet (FMD). Through years of research, Dr. Longo has shown that cycles of controlled fasting can trigger cellular regeneration, reduce inflammation, and improve metabolic health.His work has reshaped our understanding of nutrition’s role in health and disease, providing a scientific basis for fasting as a tool to support standard cancer therapies. The fasting mimicking diet offers a promising adjunct to traditional treatments. By strategically reducing calorie intake, FMD protects healthy cells and makes cancer cells more vulnerable to chemotherapy and radiation.This dual effect boosts the effectiveness of treatment while mitigating debilitating side effects. Dr. Longo’s new book, Fasting Cancer, the subject of our podcast, explores the science behind fasting and its potential to transform cancer care. He shares practical guidelines, compelling case studies, and robust research that illustrate how FMD can be integrated with standard therapies for better outcomes.Listeners of The Empowering Neurologist were captivated by Dr. Longo’s ability to translate complex science into actionable advice in his previous appearance, and this episode is no exception. His work continues to inspire both patients and healthcare professionals to explore innovative, science-driven approaches in the fight against cancer.As research unfolds, the fasting mimicking diet stands as a testament to the power of nutritional science in modern medicine. Embracing this strategy, patients and clinicians alike are witnessing a promising future in cancer care.====00:00 Introduction02:10 The Cancer Nutrition Scientist Changing Everything04:36 How Cancer Cells Hack Aging And Stay Immortal06:00 The Hidden Danger Of Cancer Cell Survival After Chemo07:30 Why Young People Are Getting More Cancer Than Ever10:48 Are We Eating Too Much Protein For Longevity13:22 A Diet That Weakens Cancer But Shields Healthy Cells17:55 What Is The Fasting Mimicking Diet And Why It Works21:40 The Critical Timing That Makes Chemo More Effective23:00 How Starving Cancer Creates A Predictable Weak Spot27:30 The Multi-Angle Attack That Slows Glioblastoma29:15 Could This Diet Delay Or Reverse Alzheimer’s32:50 Clinical Trials Show This Diet Reverses Diabetes36:30 How Fasting Triggers Organ Regeneration In Humans41:05 The Shocking Risks Behind Popular Weight Loss Drugs57:14 Conclusion====Valter Longo is the director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He studies basic and clinical research on nutrition, aging, and disease, with a focus on cancer, autoimmunity, Alzheimer’s, and cardiometabolic illness. Dr. Longo has received multiple awards including the 2010 Nathan Shock Lecture Award from the National Institute on Aging, the 2013 Vincent Cristofalo Rising Star Award, and the 2016 Glenn Award for Research in the Biological Mechanisms of Aging. In 2018, Time named him one of the 50 most influential people in health care, and in 2021 Science magazine called him a pioneer in nutrition and cancer. He is the author of Fasting Cancer and The Longevity Diet.___________________________Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/</a>Website: <a href="https://www.drperlmutter.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.drperlmutter.com/</a>Subscribe to our channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDRl_UAXxbHyOOjklnA0dxQ/?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDRl_UAXxbHyOOjklnA0dxQ/?sub_confirmation=1</a>
