Summary

Dr. Valter Longo is director of the Longevity Institute at USC and the Program on Longevity and Cancer at IFOM in Milan. In this podcast, we discuss Dr. Longo's new book, The Longevity Diet, which is the culmination of 25 years of research on aging, nutrition, and disease across the globe. Dr. Longo has put together a powerful combination of fasting and diet. The diet is that of centenarians (people living 100+ years) combined along with with the scientifically engineered 5-day fasting-mimicking diet (or FMD), done just 3-4 times a year. Dr. Longo designed the FMD after making a series of remarkable discoveries in mice, then in humans, indicating that specific micro-fasts can activate stem cells and promote regeneration and rejuvenation in multiple organs to significantly reduce the risk for diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease.

0:00.0	Hey, Kevin Rose, this is one of those podcasts that could potentially change everything for you.
0:18.0	Change, at least it has for me. I am a little upset that it kind of really changed the way that I eat, the way I think about eating,
0:28.4	the way I think about fasting.
0:30.2	This was just a great interview with Dr. Walter Longo.

0:48.6	Joe Rogan show, and a whole slew of other folks.
0:51.4	She had Walter Longo on her show talking about, specifically talking about
0:56.1	his five day fasting mimetic diet that he has. That is basically it mimics the fasted state. You eat a little bit of food.
1:04.4	You're still getting all the benefits of fasting, but you don't have to do a straight water only fast.
1:08.9	You can have a little bit of food and still see all of that upside.
1:14.0	So I had originally reached out to Walter to say, okay, hey, just come on my podcast, let's talk
1:18.7	about your fasting regimen, that'd be great.
1:20.4	I have a fasting app called Zero. It'd be cool to chat about that.
1:24.0	And he said, yes, but also I'm coming out with a book on longevity.
1:28.0	And do you want to wait a couple months?
1:30.0	I'll send you an early copy and then I'll come on your show. I said, okay, well that sounds great.
