  Excellent discourse. Favorites VONGO: inflammation is not the cause of aging; aging is the cause of inflammation <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6PyyatqJSE&amp;t=700">11:40</a>; Fasting is not a stressor on the body, food is a bodily stressor. TEACH !!!!❤

  I&apos;m going through the Breast Cancer journey right now. Fasting and being in ketosis is a lifesaver. Especially during chemo!! This science is sound!

  June 2020 I had surgery on nose because of CRSwNP. June 2021 CRSwNP came back. Doctor suggested another surgery. I am refused…<br>After not long research, i did fasting treatment at one special clinic (Ergashota) in Uzbekistan. <br>All my polyps gone. 23 days of hunger. Lost 12 kg. My Otolaryngologist doctor was 100% sure that i made surgery, based on new CT (x-ray)

  I do keto OMAD most of the time. &nbsp;Sometimes 2 meals within a 5 hour window. &nbsp; I find it easy and I am happy. &nbsp;It gives me so much energy and good mood. &nbsp;I am lean, woman, 52. &nbsp;Once a month I do FMD for 3 days with 1 small meal per day, very low carb and very low protein: &nbsp;avocado, black olives and macademia nuts. &nbsp;The fibromyalgic pains, burning feet, gaz and fatty diarrhea have gone away 😃 Greetings from France!

  This was fascinating and explains something that we wondered<br>about in our household. In 2012 my wife was diagnosed with colon cancer.<br>Towards the end of treatment which was primarily radiation with some chemo<br>applied to make the radiation more effective, she hit a physical nadir where<br>she wouldn&apos;t eat or drink anything and was primarily kept hydrated through IV.<br>I was really concerned because the pre-treatment orientation stress on how to<br>get calories (most from garbage food like Ensure) should be used to keep<br>strength up. The several weeks that she didn&apos;t eat were probably the BEST thing<br>that happen to her during her treatment by denying those cancer cells sugar and<br>stimulating all the other pathways of immune response.<br><br><br><br>Today, she is fine and kicking ass and a hard core vegan and she occasionally<br>fasts to keep things punched up in her immune system.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6PyyatqJSE&amp;t=1538">25:38</a> &quot;Fasting is part of the normal world. It is the normal world. And food comes around once in a while and then you go back to fasting.&quot;

  I’ve just completed a 15 day water fast prior to Christmas. &nbsp;I’ve been fasting IM and ED, and ketogenic diet for 2 years. &nbsp;I will never stop fasting for its therapeutic “reset” and due to the sensitivity that I get when eating certain foods. &nbsp;My body is in a type of “heightened” state. &nbsp;Eating seems to offer information in how I feel and look after eating certain foods, post fasting, that was not apparent prior to participating regularly, in these fasting episodes. &nbsp;I am completing a BSc in Nutrition and I have featured Dr. Longo and FMD, his research and clinical studies on FMD found in NIH. I am an advocate for therapeutic fasting for both its physical and spiritual (emotional detox) attributes. I believe regularly fasting can be key in addressing the type 2 diabetes mellitus epidemic, especially within communities where people do not deal with stress in a healthy way.

  For the most concrete science about fasting, this channel is the best on Youtube.

  I recently finished a 17 days fast and all my aches and pains went away. &nbsp;I even sleep a lot better. &nbsp;I wish he&apos;d talk more about what to do after a fast and who kind of diet he suggests.

  Longo is so balanced in his approach which is becoming increasingly more rare in health circles.

  As a teenager, like many people, I wanted to skip breakfast. I&apos;d just eat a small lunch and then a regular dinner (SAD). I was always told that you must eat in the morning. I would force myself even though I struggled with weight ( 10-20 lbs.). Of course, I just ate sugar cereal and skim milk. I wish I had seen this video then!! Thank you so much for this info!!

  What a pleasant, lucid interview I really enjoyed listening to Dr. Longo discussing the human aspects of disease, using words like happiness and allowing the body to heal it self. &nbsp;I enjoy Dr. Patricks interviews but always seems like biochemical egocentric lectures treating the human body as a machine with it&apos;s individual parts and how they in theory function.
