Fast Mimicking Diet

<p>Today we talk with Dr. William Hsu and his insights into the 5 day fast mimicking diet. He discusses the 3 types of fasting, the significance of our circadian cycles, and the importance of fasting in order to activate significant longevity mechanisms which help promote our overall well being. Hosts:<br /> Dr. Mark Young // Dr. Jeffrey Gladden Guest: Dr. William Hsu<br /> Highlights from the podcast:<br /> (0:55) Introduction (1:51) It’s not because of what we know but about what we’re asking and how we go about learning. (2:02) Dr. Gladden highlights The common underlying question seems to be, “Can I get back to where I was, health wise?” (4:00) Understanding the game that we’re in. (8:25) In the practice of addressing all of these elements people are getting and feeling better overall more so than they have in the past.<br /> (9:10) Introducing Dr. William Hsu, Endocrinologist and graduate from Harvard<br /> (10:00) Dr. Hsu begins discussing “The Fasting Mimicking Diet”<br /> (12:40) Fasting has in large part been overlooked in the medical field.<br /> (15:30) Taking a look at Fat, the body's mechanism between feedings.<br /> (15:52) Fat is the largest organ in 70% of the American population. (17:05) What is normal? When do we eat (Has an impact on our health) and what do we eat<br /> (nutrient composition)? Circadian rhythm. (18:20) The body has an internal mechanism that tells us when to eat and when not to eat.<br /> (18:35) Illumination has changed our behaviour.<br /> (19:55) Obesity creates resistance to lupton secretary hormone that signals the body when to stop eating. (21:30) The science of Fasting began perhaps 20 or 25 years ago.<br /> (22:22) What are the molecular mechanisms that connect nutrition, fasting, and longevity? (22:50) Pulling back from nutrients actually triggers longevity genes and helps promote longer living. (23:15) Fasting actually creates an anti-fragile state.<br /> (24:00) Repeated cycle of Fasting and then eating.<br /> (24:45) Repeated cycles of fasting and feeding.<br /> (25
