This episode features a conversation with Melanie Murphy Richter, MS, RDN, who discusses the benefits and science behind the Prolon fasting program. Melanie explains the concept of fasting and its evolutionary benefits, emphasizing the role of autophagy—a cellular rejuvenation process activated by fasting. The discussion covers the Prolon fasting-mimicking diet (FMD), which allows for some food intake while still achieving fasting benefits. Melanie details the physiological changes during the five-day Prolon fast, including ketosis and autophagy, and stresses the importance of transitioning out of the fast carefully to maintain benefits. The episode also touches on the extensive research supporting Prolon's efficacy, including its impact on longevity and metabolic health.
