Fasting & Nutrition Protocols for Longevity & Disease Prevention w/ Valter Longo | Rich Roll Podcast 

Did he say this was a good thing to do? So many words it’s like ok what is good?

@@veneta72 No he doesn't. Based on Dr. Longo's book and other interviews. He believes that the best approach is every day vegan diet (a lot of legumes) + 2-3 fish (smaller ones) per week and combine it with 1-4 times a year (depends on current health - once a year for healthy individual etc.) 5 days fast. But 5 days water fast is difficult for many, so he developed FMD (Fast Mimicking Diet) to help people get through it.

@@lynchs2441 Great summary!

@@lynchs2441 5 day fast are you out of your mind ? Ill start with 1 i think

@@lynchs2441 So...five days water and two days food? I don't think I can survive eating like that every day for a month, let alone years. No thanks. I'm on my OMAD and I eat whatever the heck I want and it works great for me.

Great topic, too! Some of the many benefits of fasting and a lower carb whole food diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data: Thymus stem cells are regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic. Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility especially in women with PCOS. It's absolutely fine for cortisol to be high while fasting, because it produces sugar from fat instead of lean tissue ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-giEDadzoErs.html Does the body prefernetially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, it never uses mainly glucose for fuel and using glucose for fuel is very biochemically damaging! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nf1jwMbvNxw.html The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. It stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Does fasting burn muscle? In most cases no! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-teQIaU6wp2o.html Fasting can make you gain muscle faster: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5RM8GRzsIIg.html Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BeC_gIR2Z14.html Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Autophagy induced by fasting even helps hair regrow. What breaks a fast? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7aRLsCpxy3o.html Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it and builds muscle! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fJUDucBWv4s.html Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

I agree one of the few food based guys like this. Most are like listening to a religious program.

no kidding...it's so refreshing...reminds me of Phil Donahue days.

Yes!!

It's great that you lost weight, and that you cut out simple carbs. However, long term you do need fiber - which is found only in plant foods.

@@k.h.6991not true. Show me the research. I can provide this just off the top… Before the introduction of processed Western foods, the Inuit thrived for millennia consuming an essentially carnivorous diet devoid of nearly all plant foods. Though the traditional Inuit dietary pattern contradicts modern nutritional dogma, studies show they had robust health and remarkably low incidences of modern diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and osteoporosis.

What kind of high carb were you eating for most of your life? That’s the most important question. There are different types: healthy non-obesogenic ones AND unhealthy obesogenic ones. If you gained much weight I doubt you were on the first type. Plus ate an excess of calories.

Amen...I'm not sure this guy knows that he is talking about. I am doing the intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet, and have lost 51 pounds so far. I do think my eating some occasional bread, sweet potatoes, or beans does make me feel better-- but this is usually just one meal per week. I suspect that my cheating is giving me micronutrients or helping my microbiom somehow, but I am only guessing... keep up the hard work.. It is working.

@@ruthrainous3068 classic, he's only studied it with a full team for years. We all know more than the scientists. You lost weight, kudos. But you have no idea whether your longevity is changed from keto diet, he's studying longevity with FMD and the longevity diet. You're an N of 1.

You can get the diet out of the Mediterranean, but you can't get the Mediterranean out of the diet...

Great post!

@Bladerunner2043 Yep. We need to eat our species specific diet. People eat plant based and then supplement everything they are missing from animal foods (b12, iron, protein powder, creatine, etc etc). This is not a coherent way to develop an 'optimal diet' because it doesn't factor in the reality of your biology, it merely uses supplementation to inadequately replace what you are missing with synthetic versions of those nutrients.

@Bladerunner2043 , you didn't learn anything, did you? Your ignorance shows.

@@RILEYCLARKE LOL

Did you include any other protocols to see clear of your pancolitis other than being plant based?

Cool, so how do you fast? I’ve been following Prof David Sinclair’s initial advice of fasting 16/8; eating from 12pm to 8pm roughly! From what Dr Valter Longo is saying, it’s best not to go over 12 hours of fasting?!

@@andygolfsit5559 Dr. Mindy Pelz's channel covers fasting at length.

@@andygolfsit5559 Before Following Dr Longo I was also following David Sinclair’s 16/8 and OMAD, & Dr Jason Fung, but ever since I herd Dr Longo first interview on Rich Roll I started 2 meal just to play safe, I have also done my first 5 days water only fasting.

@@dawalama2177 I've been on OMAD for fifteen years with 2 hr eating window. Just my normal lifestyle, and won't change just because someone says it should be two meals.

@@polymath6475 Yes, I agree. And drop breakfast, not as he say to to eat always breakfast. And in addition, this is a part of his business, to sell this program FMD.

What I don't imagine is fasting approved by the FDA, as I have no respect for them.

You will be waiting a very long time. Prescription drugs are the fourth leading cause of death and all of them approved by FDA. The FDA is not about protecting people’s health.

Unfortunately most people won't follow it they want their quick fix

Llll

I feel horrible without protein. Plant based makes me soooooo hungry. Higher protein makes me less hungry. I do two 36-42 fast a week. Feel great. Also exercise. I too follow Jason Fung MD and Gabrielle Lyon. I am 64

Red meat makes me feel fantastic

I attribute removing sugar and processed foods from my diet to quite easily quit smoking cold turkey after 37 years of at least a pack a day.

It goes hand in hand

I worked in addiction as well and being sober myself diet certainly is very impactful. I went vegan as a result of PTSD and finding Rich Roll. My mental health and stability in my life is certainly tied to the quality of my diet.

Someone else the Buddha or you a man or a god? The answer, I am awake. Woke is good.

Or just say no thank you.

The human animal is tribal. We try to ignore this but it is as much a part of us as our feet are. You’re experiencing tribalism in practice. They’re worried you’re not in their tribe anymore.

I get this when I go to family functions. Or recently when I attended a friendsgiving

Great strategy. I find that some people take delight in offering and insisting other people eat things that are clearly unhealthy. If you say no it feels like you’ve insulted them and nobody should be made to feel like that.

David looks much younger than valter. 😂 money is on David out living valter

They are probably both right because everyone is different and different people can tolerate longer or shorter periods of fasting. There's no way that anyone can say for sure until it has been studied more.

@@wangkenneth I think they both look great for their age, but it might be just their genetics.

I believe Dr Sinclair is right, because Dr berg agrees with him & i have had good results with IF & keto, i is obvious that to succeed in fasting without cravings you need to go keto

@@randaldurayhim Berg is a chiropractor

Ya, less time to eat lol

Agree, same here

Same. Every diet promoter has “facts” and “science” on their side, yet they all say the complete opposite of each other 😒

I'm with you!

Pick the one who isn't trying to sell something

It will never be fully exhausted and understood, but the science is crystal clear. I recommend not just listening to RU-vid-people, but actually reading the studies. Then you'll quickly see that some people are twisting data or speak of stuff they have no clue about, and others are merely affirming what the different types of solid research concludes.

​@@minifix Yeah. The science is crystal clear about every 5 years or so, until it changes. "We now know..." I'm not saying science isn't science. I'm saying it really just is not crystal clear. Yet. I'm also not criticizing the earnest pursuit of the scientists devoting their lives to these studies, or mocking them.

You are so right!

The sun gives us life! We are literally solar powered beings!

​@@shanebaird543 yet direct sunlight & its associated radiation is detrimental to our health. As with all of this I guess moderation is important.

I think it's the main factor, that and less pollution.

​​@@shanebaird543 no ...sun gives you cancer and aging skin!

Same here. What luck.

you dont know what you are talking about.

I'd throw longevity MD Peter Attia into that debate.

I as well, one obvious one was he stated we shouldn’t skip breakfast. I personally don’t eat early in the morning. My first meal is between 11-12 pm , with a 13-16 window of intermittent fasting.

I concur. Most of these folks talk too much, but do not show curated data.

@@nelsonpozo1 Nutrigenomic researcher chiming in here: Dr. Longo is speaking to the average person with these recommendations based on the research findings. It is important to remember there exist those individuals on the tail ends of the response bell curve ...the hypo and hyperresponders. Some persons may do better skipping breakfast. But, on average, the research shows skipping dinner results in better metabolic health.

I very much appreciate David Sinclair's work, so interesting and he always references the supporting research... As does Prof Tim Spector ...

I am very nearly 67 and have never been one to eat breakfast. But I have been overweight my whole life. Yo-yo dieting had lowered my metabolism so that 800 calories per day barely holds my weight. Anything over and I am gaining. Low carb keto has been the only diet I can stick to. I would have liked to had a better breakdown of the "low carb" studies they spoke of. Most scientific studies do not really do true low carb so 🤷 My 2 year vegetarian diet caused as total weight gain. Mostly whole vegetables, processed grains, legumes, dairy, fish maybe 2-3x monthly, and eggs (my own backyard chickens). Along with weight gain, I had aches and inflammatory conditions that I blamed on aging. But after going keto (embracing pasture raised meats only), I lost weight of course, but all aches and pains left me, urgency incontinence disappeared, and I felt phenomenal which was a happy surprise 😮. Raw vegan sounds attractive, here, but so very restrictive. And I know this is not a complete diet without supplements. So I will stick with the low carb camp, but I like listening to the other side sometimes for informational purposes. I have much respect for both of these guys.

I would just like to clarify a few points. He did not say to not go more than 12 hours without food, it's the opposite: eat your food within a roughly 12-hour window (between early morning and early evening). This is in accordance with your circadian rhythm. Secondly, the 5-7 day fast he describes is not just random foods in reduced amounts, but rather a specific macronutrient ratio (low protein, mid-carbohydrate, high-fat) that mimicks how the body responds when you do water-only fasting. Ergo the "fasting mimicking diet".

@@minifix "I would just like to clarify a few points. He did not say to not go more than 12 hours without food, it's the opposite: eat your food within a roughly 12-hour window (between early morning and early evening)." are you serious?? not more than 12 hours without food , but to eat the food in the 12 hour window? That's exactly that, OMFG, how did people get this slooow to think- eating in 12 hour window a day means just that: not going more than 12 hours without food. Come on, it's not rocket science

@@bogdanbogdan3462 Those two statements are logically different. To "not go without food for more than 12 hours" means that you should never fast for 13h, 14h, 15h, etc. In the first statement, 12h is the upper limit. That's why I felt the need to clarify that you can absolutely fast more than 12h, and some people should, and that as a MINIMUM you want to limit your eating window to 12h in order to gain the full effects of fasting. One statement means 12h is the upper limit, the other means it's the lower limit. Come on, it's not rocket science.

@@minifix It doesnt make sense. You said ( well, he did) that you should eat your food in a 12 hour window and not less than that- so he's skipping lunch. In that case you cannot go more than 12 hours of fasting because you are limited by the space time continuum. He literally says DO NOT FAST FOR MORE THAN 12 HOURS. How can you defend that. This guy is selling his method.

who did tell you?

😊

on which part did he said this? timestam pls?

@@qaecobitv2295 I heard it too, I was shocked, There is no link to any of the study he mentioned,. It was towards the beginning

Can u do the FMD every month? I thought he said 3-4 times a year ? Thanks 🙏

@@blisskirtanyoga yes, for the very sickly; I’ve been very Ill with inflammation and still have some fat to lose. If I were healthy I would do it 3/4 times a year. I use it as a reset, especially if I’m feeling unwell.

@@jbidwell605 Good for you, so glad to hear of your succeses w/‘European prolon’.

Thank you, I am starting my first kit

What is this please?

He truly is.

My advice to you would be to go listen to Shawn Baker interviewing Dr. Ryan Attar. He's talking about diabetes. Secondly, I think you are on the wrong track. Vegan diets work better than SAD, but it's not what your body needs. You can surrvive on vegan diets, but your health will suffer long term. You need to go carnivore and do some resistance training. I am 100% sure that if you do you will turn your life around.

It’s because a vegan diet is just pure sugar. Go carnivore and zero carb if you want to get lean without killing you self with exercise

@@jaghad you couldn't possibly more wrong and it's like you haven't watched a single of those interviews with the worlds best scientists on this podcast. carnivore diet means an early grave and horrible side effects.

@@moritz1262 who told you this. All the research he is talking about are people who are combining carbs with high protein but carnivor and animal fats..there is no research on them because it s gonna affect most businesses and big pharma

I assume you know what you're doing in terms of plant based - but to be sure: do keep the daily dozen in mind. And avoid processed foods. Personally I find that my weight inches up because I don't keep all processed foods from my plate (chocolate is my sin). The ProLon 5-day fasting plan can be done at home and will help you reset your system as well as lose some of those pounds.

there is none, this guy is the only one stating that just to convince people to follow his program

I've been fasting 22hrs/day for 15 years, no sugar and low carb, fish and wagyu beef with vegetables and eggs. I'm in optimal health. There are many ways chemicals get into the body, for example toothpaste, water, etc. You really need to keep track of your interaction with plastics and chemicals.

Longevity and fasting expert dr peter attia has destroyed this breakfast study.

People in the middle east consume the most sugar of any people on the planet and they smoke a lot, yet they have the lowest rates of cancer on the planet. Some say this is because of their fasting practices.

Thank you for this comment. What concerns me most about diet related issues is how best to feed our personal spectrum of vegetarian and carnivorous micro-organisms so that there are sufficient nutrients left over for our needs. My intuition tells me that fasting causes starved micro-organisms to feed on us.

Thank you for this - a good point…. My issue is however more with the seemingly differing advice from the experts. Both David Sinclair and Valter Longo are experts in the Longevity space and they both have very different views presumably based upon the same science. What is the layman to do… pick a Guru and hope?

This is a serious concern of mine after listening to this podcast. Dr. Sinclair made a strong case for IF and skipping breakfast as the easiest way to acquire more hours because it’s anchored after sleep. Now Dr. Longo states the opposite. Both cited evidence to support their claims. As someone who is not an expert in this literature, I defer to the experts, but this seems like a glaring contradiction. I understand that there’s no one-size-fits-all protocol and that it depends on the person, but this seems like a very broad-stroke disagreement between these people. Hoping for clarity asap because I’ve been doing the IF and skipping breakfast for 6 months now. At the end of the day, I love podcasts like this and thank Rich for facilitating this discussion.

Valter never goes beyond the research in anything he says. If a big study says skipping breakfast is bad, he says don't skp breakfast. Others like Dr. Sinclair are a little more willing to speculate based on theory and logic. I think Valter would say, we don't need to speculate, we know this works. But Valter is also more focused on getting the average person healthier and living longer. Dr. Sinclair is trying to live forever and is therefore willing to be a bit more experimental. All that being said, agreed, it is frustrating getting different recommendations from experts. You'd think we would have figured this all out by now!

Agreed. Those are my fast days as well during the week. Very easy to fit in to my lifestyle and family time etc

Do what works for you. They don’t know everything. If the outcome is good stick to it

i agree!

@@pannellclara 12 hours is not fasting...there is a difference between fasting and being IN a fasted state. Entering the Fasted State. A prolonged absence of food gives our digestive system a chance to rest and do cleanup. It can take many hours after your last meal to complete digestion and enter the fasted state. The time varies between individuals, but 12 hours is often suggested as an estimate

12 hours of fasting is actually time restricted eating, not true fasting.

I’m a huge fan of Dr. Longo but I’d need to see his citations and sponsors of any studies supporting this”fact”regarding 12-hour fasting. The study he usually cites on gall bladder issues is many decades old.

how is 12 hours even fasting?. if you sleep for 9 hours and dont eat the last thre hours before bed thats 12 hours. lol

Two ESSENTIAL nutrients for humans to thrive fatty acids and protein both found in the animal kingdom preferably ruminant animals.Fact. Must be why so many carnivores cure their celiac and most autoimmune diseases. Fasting is beneficial unless you are on the thin side.Humans have Zero requirement for pasta ,Zero Italian or otherwise.Exercise and moderate amount of weight lifting also extremely beneficial.

Rice oats potatoes. Not that hard 🥱

Agree

Agree. His 5 day FMD suggests there aren't a lot of people who can water fast for several days. That said, He may be thinking about the majority of people. I know one person who fasts, of the hundred or so people I know we'll enough to say they eat normally.

I have PsA but fear fasting due to my borderline underweight status. Did you have weight avail to sacrifice in doing your fasting? Thanks…

Additionally, What spacing between rounds of FMD did you provide yourself? Thanks again!

I use it once a quarter. It’s not recommended if you are underweight. I am normal weight, so I can stand to lose a few pounds. I have no problem gaining them back after the fast. 😂

He did say you can do it vegan. You just need to stay within the protein parameter of 0.8g protein per kilogram weight or 0.35g protein per pound weight. I think he was saying that it’s not uncommon for vegans to also eat too much protein as percentage of overall daily calories. I’m also vegan.

Sounds pretty yummy. I wonder if peanut-butter would be acceptable to Longo . . . and whether he’d have a nutritional pref btwn adding a smidgeon of honey vs sugar to put the dark cocoa powder into more appealing format.

@@eugeniebreida1583 I reckon what you propose is reasonable Eugene As long as does not increase waist circumference Dr Ted Neiman looks at peoples waist circumference, if it is not what it should be , he knows that have metabolic issues. That is critical to be sure ☺️

I think it’s all subjective: if keto works for you, and you blood tests are perfect and you feel great, just stick to it. There’s no 1 diet plan that fits all.

How was it affecting the PCOS in a negative way by doing 16/8? Very curious!!

Breakfast is a made up food😅😅😅

How does fasting cause cancer? I thought it helped to prevent it?

@@magicsupamoggie Extended or prolonged fasting period is detrimental as told by Valtar! As he also told skipping breakfast can reduce the life expectancy too ! At the end of the day fasting over 16-18+ hours can cause cancer after 10-15 years of consistent fasting over 18 + hours!

@@the____echoes Thank you. I found the whole interview difficult to listen to. I really could not understand his accent too well.

@@magicsupamoggiewelcome bro. Yes bro ! As i am from India , i generally find European accent quite difficult to understand tbh. American accent is easy to understand! Btw i highly criticise what he told about 18 + hours of fasting can cause cancer ! As an audience perspective i am not creating a state of critisism rather a constructive argument about the deep biochemistry of body about the consequences of occurrence of cancer after a large prolonged periods of fasting over 10-12 years of constitent fasting. He should have explained it thoroughly that's why i criticise of not explaining it in easy words 🥺.

1. Cancer is a metabolic disease, knowing this concept I cured my own cancer. Protocol: 1. Wim Hof method via breathing and with 5-10 minute ice baths 2.

@@bogdanbogdan3462 fasting from 7pm to 1-2pm next day, dont sleep that much, work time

THIS makes sense! We are all different also. Our diets should be based on what we need.

I've been fasting 22hrs/day for 15 years, no sugar and low carb, fish and wagyu beef with vegetables and eggs. I'm in optimal health. There are many ways chemicals get into the body, for example toothpaste, water, etc.

It's almost impossible to escape

I have also been having one vegan meal a day for years & now I have osteoporosis

You can pay attention, what foods make it worser. And sort this foods out (in my case e.g. coffee and seasoned/marinated foods). I have multiple autoimmune issues. It started when I was young with hay fever. That got better with the years. Than I got Lichen planus (in my twenties. Up to now) In my forties it was discoverd, that I have Hashimoto (my only medication Tyroxin now). Recently I feel that something autoimmune is going on in my eyes and colon. My theory is, that my immune system is all the time on high allert. And when it has "nothing to do", it attacks own tissue, cz it cannot stop. And when you have only one food intake, than there is no associated intake of "foreign" cells and bacteria, that are work for the immune system.
