On this week’s episode of The Metabolic Link, we’re sitting down with world-renowned Fasting and Longevity Researcher, Valter Longo, PhD, to explore a variety of topics related to metabolic health including the impact of protein consumption on longevity, the latest research on the fasting mimicking diet in diabetes and Alzheimer’s, the future of metabolic therapies, and how both our host of The Metabolic Link, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, and Dr. Longo utilize fasting and approach healthy eating in their own lives.
Dr. Valter Longo has thirty years of experience in the field of longevity and healthy eating. He is the Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California – Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, Los Angeles, and the Director of the Longevity and Cancer Program at the IFOM, The Italian Foundation for Cancer Research (FIRC) Institute of Molecular Oncology in Milan, Italy. He is the author of the best seller “The Longevity Diet” and the 2 Italian books “Alla tavola della longevità” (“At the Table of Longevity”), and “La longevità inizia da bambini” (“Longevity Begins in Childhood”). Professor Longo is also the scientific director of the Create Cures Foundation and the Valter Longo Foundation. In 2018, TIME Magazine named Professor Longo as one of the 50 most influential people in health care for his research on fasting-mimicking diets as a way to improve health and prevent diseases.
