@mightypursuit: Fasting has become a craze in the United States. Some people are obsessed with it.
Others have never even heard what it can actually do.
And almost no one is talking about the risks. That’s why our latest episode of the Mighty Pursuit Podcast matters — it sets the record straight. Dr. Valter Longo isn’t just another name in the wellness world.
 He’s one of the top fasting experts on the planet — named by TIME Magazine as one of the 50 most influential people in health. He holds an h-index of 77, meaning at least 77 of his scientific studies have been cited 77 times or more — with over 30,000 citations total. If you are unfamiliar with how the scientific world works, that’s like releasing 30 hit films — and having the industry cite your work for decades. So in this conversation, he explains what most people get wrong — and why fasting, under the *right* conditions, can activate the body’s own regeneration systems. 
But under the wrong ones?
It can lead to serious harm. We unpack:
• The cutting-edge biology of fasting
• Why it’s still not mainstream medicine
• The difference between water fasting + the Fasting Mimicking Diet
• His struggles to fund this research at scale 🎧 Watch the full episode — now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple. Or click the link in our bio. #fasting #fastingforbeginners #health #healthyliving
