Fasting Mimicking for Longevity, Weight Loss & Hormonal Balance with Renee Fitton
Fasting Mimicking for Longevity, Weight Loss & Hormonal Balance with Renee Fitton
Have you ever wondered how to get the powerful benefits of a 5-day water-only fast—without having to give up food entirely? In this fascinating episode, we’re joined by Renee Fitton, longevity dietitian and Director of Education at L-NUTRA, to explore the science and strategy behind fasting mimicking.
You’ll learn how the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) delivers the same biological benefits as prolonged fasting—like fat burning, autophagy, cellular rejuvenation, and metabolic reset—without the intensity or deprivation of traditional fasting.
