@therealjencohen: You're fasting for longevity, but is your body actually getting enough time to repair? If your goal is long-term health and healthspan, daily restriction is not what triggers the deeper cellular cleanup. Autophagy, the process that clears out old and dysfunctional cells, needs more time to fully activate. Longevity dietitian Renee Fitton explains that autophagy is maximally activated around the three day mark of a fast. That is why prolonged fasting, which begins after two days, and done in cycles of three to five days a few times a year, creates a different level of impact. In this episode, we walk through the science behind these structured cycles and how they support healthier aging. 🎧 Renee Fitton: Fast-Mimicking: A Smarter Way to Support Longevity Listen now on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
