Hey there, welcome to the Shalene Show.

Today we're talking about fasting.

Welcome to the Shalene Show.

Shalene is a New York Times bestselling author,

celebrity fitness trainer,

and obsessed with helping you live your dream life.

Fasting, it's a word, a term, a topic you would have never, ever heard me talking about on the Shalene Show just even two years ago.

I was afraid of the word.

I thought that it was something very dangerous, something very deadly, and something to be avoided at all costs.

Boy was I wrong.

More and more people aren't just talking about fasting, they're doing it, and maybe you've considered it too.

But are people doing it for the right reasons?

And do they know why fasting is so beneficial?

What's the best way to go about fasting for health and or longevity?

I am so excited for this interview today because today you're going to be hearing from one of the leading experts in the area of metabolism and fasting science.

He's here to answer all of your questions and more.

This is one of my favorite scientists, someone who we relied very heavily on in the creation of the 131 method.

His science is based on autophagy.

Autophagy is Nobel Prize Award-winning science, and today you will hear from Dr. Walter Longo of USC, a researcher and best selling author of the book, The Long Jeviti Diet.

Today he will break down for us why people are suddenly intrigued with fasting, the cellular benefits of fasting for aging, longevity are immune system, and warding off disease and so much more.

We'll also talk about different types of fast, including fasting with food.

The difference between fasting and just cutting back on your calories and why one is so detrimental to your metabolism and which populations shouldn't be fasting.
