Podcast appearances and mentions of Valter Longo

“The morning, up until around lunch, is the best time of day to eat most of our calories. And in fact, there's been really great research. Even if you don't change the timing of your meals, if you make breakfast and lunch the largest meals of the day and dinner the smallest meal of the day, you lose more weight. And not only do you lose more weight, you're actually less hungry.” -Dr. Courtney Peterson  “Talk about these time intervals. Why is 14 a magic number?” -Jason Wrobel  “Typically, it takes the body about 12 to 14 hours to burn through a lot of its glycogen stores. Initially after a meal, your body's gonna be burning a lot of carbohydrates—so, glucose. It's gonna burn through a lot of the actual food in the meal, then it'll store some, burn others.” -Dr. Courtney Peterson  “Are there any scientifically reported benefits for hormone health, or managing cancer, with TRE?” -Jason Wrobel  “The area of cancer is super fascinating. Valter Longo does a lot of work in both the realms of aging and longevity, and cancer. Many years ago, he and some collaborators discovered if you fast cells or animals with cancer prior to treating the cancer with chemotherapy and radiation, you could kill tumors far more effectively.” -Dr. Courtney Peterson What if the timing of your meals mattered just as much as the food on your plate? In this episode, we're diving into the fascinating science of time-restricted eating with Dr. Courtney Peterson—one of the world's leading researchers on how aligning our meals with the body's internal clock can transform our health. A Harvard-trained scientist and Associate Professor of Nutrition Sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Dr. Peterson was the first to test early time-restricted eating in humans, and her groundbreaking work is redefining how we think about metabolism, energy, and chronic disease. If you've ever wondered if nourishment runs deeper than nutrients—that your body might be seeking harmony—then this episode will strike a chord. What we discuss in this episode: Different types of intermittent fasting: how they compare, and what benefits they offer. The science behind time-restricted eating (TRE). How TRE supports weight loss and appetite regulation. Fasting, aging, and the process of autophagy. The best time of day to consume the majority of your calories. How meal timing can influence fertility and reproductive health in women. Grazing vs. structured mealtimes: what the science shows. The intersection of cancer treatment and fasting: what emerging research reveals. Hypertrophy and intermittent fasting. How fasting influences exercise performance. Dr. Peterson's personal approach to intermittent fasting.

Heute spreche ich mit Prof. Valter Longo, einem der weltweit führenden Experten für gesundes Altern und Ernährung. Bekannt wurde er durch die Entwicklung der Fasten-mimicking-Diät (FMD) – einer pflanzenbasierten 5-Tage-Ernährungsform, die die positiven Effekte des Fastens erzielt, ohne komplett auf Nahrung zu verzichten. Gemeinsam tauchen wir ein in die wissenschaftlichen Hintergründe, die beeindruckenden Ergebnisse klinischer Studien und die Frage: Wie können wir durch gezielte Ernährung länger gesund leben? In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen: Kann eine 5-tägige pflanzenbasierte Diät dieselben Vorteile wie klassisches Wasserfasten bringen? Wie konnte die FMD in Studien Diabetes, Bluthochdruck und biologische Alterung positiv beeinflussen? Wie hilft die FMD dem Körper, Fett abzubauen und gleichzeitig Muskelmasse zu erhalten? Kann FMD beschädigte Organe wie Niere oder Bauchspeicheldrüse regenerieren? Warum ist Wasserfasten für viele Patient:innen ungeeignet? Welche Prozesse wie Autophagie und Ketose werden durch FMD aktiviert? Welche Rolle spielt FMD in der Krebstherapie? Wie beeinflussen reduzierte Aminosäuren Wachstumssignale wie IGF-1 und mTOR? Wird es in Zukunft personalisierte FMD-Programme für bestimmte Krankheiten geben? Warum lässt sich FMD sicher zu Hause durchführen?Könnte FMD eine echte Alternative zu Medikamenten werden?

There were two reasons why Dr. Valter Longo was featured so prominently in my longevity book Evigt Ung (2022).First, if you had to name a single scientific thread running through the history of longevity research, calorie restriction is hard to beat. And few have done more to modernize and translate that insight into real-world practice than Longo.Second, I hold Valter Longo in the highest regard. I've tried his Fasting-Mimicking Diet (FMD), I've followed his work on The Longevity Diet, and I find his scientific contributions both rigorous and unusually translational. He doesn't just publish papers - he builds systems, tests interventions in clinical trials, and tries to implement science into healthcare.In this conversation, we cover the science, history, and application of fasting, nutrition, and longevity - including new work on cancer, metabolism, and organ regeneration. We also discuss the philosophical and political obstacles that stand in the way of real change.What you'll learn in this episode:✅ The story of Longo's early music career - and why he left it to study aging.✅ How calorie restriction shaped modern longevity science.✅ Why Biosphere 2 and Roy Walford's work was both inspiring and cautionary.✅ The origins and mechanisms of the Fasting-Mimicking Diet.✅ What Longo learned about autophagy, stem cells, and organ regeneration.✅ Why protein intake before and after age 65 should be treated differently.✅ What the media and doctors get wrong about obesity, food, and metabolism.✅ The dangers of high-protein and ketogenic diets.✅ Why Longo is deeply skeptical of TRT, growth hormone, and biohacking shortcuts.✅ How fasting can enhance cancer treatment - and why Longo wrote his new book Fasting Cancer.✅ Why we need a new kind of “digital school” for lifestyle medicine.

Ci sono persone che dedicano la loro vita a rispondere a una delle domande più affascinanti di sempre: come possiamo vivere più a lungo — e in salute? Valter Longo è una di queste persone. Biologo, gerontologo e ricercatore di fama internazionale, è oggi considerato tra i massimi esperti mondiali di longevità e nutrizione. In questo episodio, capiamo insieme a lui cosa significa davvero invecchiare bene, quali sono i segreti delle popolazioni più longeve del mondo, e quanto contano genetica, alimentazione e stile di vita. _____________________________________________ ⁠⁠⁠Anapana⁠⁠⁠ è FINALMENTE DISPONIBILE!

In this episode of the Dr. Geo Prostate Podcast, we welcome Dr. Jonathan Lischalk, Director of Genitourinary Cancers at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and former Medical Director at NYU's NYCyberKnife Center. Dr. Lischalk breaks down the evolution of radiation oncology and how cutting-edge imaging and targeted SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) are reshaping prostate cancer treatment.We explore how imaging advances like MRI and PSMA PET scans are enabling unprecedented precision, the future of genetic-based personalization in prostate cancer therapy, and why fewer, more focused radiation sessions might soon become the new standard. From understanding the biology of radiation dosing to upcoming trials eliminating ADT in select patients, this is a must-listen for anyone looking to stay informed on the forefront of cancer care.

How powerful is exercise in the fight against advanced prostate cancer? Dr. Geo speaks with world-renowned exercise oncology expert Dr. Rob Newton from Australia, whose groundbreaking research has shaped how clinicians approach fitness and cancer care. From bone metastasis to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), Dr. Newton explains how the right exercise, at the right dose, can not only improve quality of life but potentially extend it.Together, they explore the science, practical guidelines, and inspiring stories behind using movement as medicine—even for men with metastatic, castration-resistant disease.Key TakeawaysExercise is medicine for men with prostate cancer—including advanced and metastatic cases.Resistance training helps preserve or build muscle during androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), reducing side effects like fatigue, bone loss, and metabolic issues.Even with bone metastases, exercise can be done safely with modified strength programs—no increase in fractures observed in studies.Muscle strength and fitness are strongly linked to lower cancer-related and all-cause mortality.Myokines released from working muscles have direct anti-cancer effects and support immune function.Focus on large muscle groups (legs, back, chest) using moderate to heavy weights—6 to 15 reps per set.Tailor workouts to the individual: more strength training for muscle loss, more cardio for heart/metabolic risk.Periodized, varied routines improve outcomes and help patients tolerate treatments like chemo better._________________________ Introducing The Dr. Geo Prostate Podcast Exclusive MembershipWe'll continue bringing you powerful weekly episodes to support your prostate health journey.

Is diet making your prostate cancer better—or worse? With countless influencers pushing plant-based diets, keto carnivores, and everything in between, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure about what to eat.In this essential solo episode, Dr. Geo dives deep into the real science and practical insights from over 30 years of experience in nutritional research, clinical practice, and personal experimentation. Whether you're newly diagnosed, in treatment, or working on prevention, this episode will help you feel clearer, more confident, and empowered about your food choices.You'll learn what the research really says, why one-size-fits-all diets don't work, and how to eat in a way that supports longevity, muscle retention, and a healthier microbiome—without guilt or confusion.KEY POINTS FROM THE EPISODEThere's no one-size-fits-all diet for prostate cancer.Every person's condition, goals, and needs are different. Be cautious of diet “gurus” and extreme positions.No one food causes or cures cancer.Forget the hype around “superfoods” or villainizing a single food group—context, quality, and quantity matter most.Most people simply eat too much.Overeating—not any one nutrient—is a major contributor to health issues. Practice mindful eating and avoid nighttime pantry raids.Time-restricted eating can help.Consider 12:12 or 16:8 intermittent fasting based on your protein needs and lifestyle. It's about balance, not punishment.Protein quality > quantity.About ½ gram per pound of body weight is enough for most men—especially those 60+ or on androgen deprivation therapy. Salmon is one of the best options.Not all meats are created equal.Processed meats (like cold cuts and hot dogs) and high-heat cooking methods are problematic—not grass-fed meats or lean cuts eaten in moderation.Complex carbs are NOT the enemy.Whole grains, legumes, and vegetables feed your microbiome and offer critical phytonutrients. Just watch for arsenic in certain brown rice.Fats should come from whole, natural sources.Omega-3s (like from fish oil), olive oil, avocado, and even some saturated fats can be part of a healthy plan. Avoid trans fats from fried and overly processed foods.Build in an “Eff-It Day.”Sustainability is key. Enjoy 1 day a week (or 3 meals weekly) guilt-free—no need for perfection. You can live and eat well at the same time.Stay empowered.You are not powerless. The way you eat, move, and live can positively influence your prognosis.----------------Thank you to our partnersThe ProLon 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet is a plant-based meal program designed to provide fasting benefits while allowing food intake.

DG talks about the concept of fasting and its benefits with special guest Renee Fitton, the director of education at El Nutra Prolon. DG shares her personal experience with Prolon's five-day fasting mimicking diet, highlighting its surprising effectiveness without the typical hunger pangs associated with fasting. Renee, a registered dietitian with a master's in nutrition and health span longevity, discusses how Prolon, developed under the research of Valter Longo, aims to help people live not just longer, but better. They explore the science behind fasting mimicking diets, including its impact on autophagy—a cellular cleanup process that removes junk and rejuvenates cells.Renee explains that for generally healthy individuals, the recommended protocol for the five-day fasting mimicking diet involves three cycles once a month, followed by maintenance every three to four months. The discussion also touches on who should avoid this diet, such as pregnant women and people with certain health conditions, and emphasizes the muscle-protective nature of the diet while addressing concerns about protein intake. Renee and DG highlight the potential benefits for mental health, energy levels, and overall well-being that come from periodic fasting.

In this episode of the Dr. Geo Prostate Podcast, Dr. Geo welcomes Dr. Gurdev Parmar, a pioneer in naturopathic and integrative oncology. They dive deep into the science and application of hyperthermia as a cancer treatment, particularly for prostate cancer. Dr. Parmar explains the different types of hyperthermia—local-regional, which targets tumors, and whole-body, which mimics a fever to stimulate the immune system. They discuss how hyperthermia enhances cancer treatments by increasing oxygenation, producing heat shock proteins that make cancer cells more recognizable to the immune system, and sensitizing tumors to radiation and chemotherapy. The conversation also explores the challenges of FDA approval, the state of clinical research, and why hyperthermia isn't more widely available in the U.S. Dr. Parmar shares insights from his 14 years of treating patients with hyperthermia and how this therapy, when combined with integrative oncology, has led to significant improvements in survival rates.Key Takeaways:Hyperthermia works by raising tissue temperature, making cancer cells more vulnerable while sparing healthy cells.Heat shock proteins triggered by hyperthermia help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.When used alongside radiation or chemotherapy, hyperthermia improves treatment effectiveness by increasing tumor oxygenation.Whole-body hyperthermia mimics a natural fever response, enhancing the body's immune defense against cancer.A typical treatment cycle includes multiple local-regional hyperthermia sessions per week, with whole-body hyperthermia performed once a week for two sessions.Despite strong evidence supporting hyperthermia, regulatory and financial barriers limit its availability in the U.S.Clinical data from Dr. Parmar's practice shows significantly improved survival rates in stage 4 cancer patients using hyperthermia as part of a multimodal treatment approach.Tune in for an eye-opening discussion on the potential of hyperthermia in cancer care and why it remains an underutilized tool in oncology.----------------Thank you to our partnersThe ProLon 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet is a plant-based meal program designed to provide fasting benefits while allowing food intake.

With a focus on periodic fasting interventions, Dr. Longo highlights the role of FMD in activating stem cells, enhancing cellular repair mechanisms, and even reversing metabolic dysfunctions like insulin resistance and type 1 diabetes.Dr. Longo's work is paving the way for more accessible, non-invasive therapies for chronic conditions, with far-reaching implications for aging, cancer prevention, and metabolic health. If you're an academic, medical professional, or researcher, you won't want to miss this in-depth discussion on how FMD could shape the future of medicine.Valter Longo, PhD, is the Edna Jones Professor in Gerontology, the Director of the USC Longevity Institute and group leader at the IFOM cancer research institute in Milan, Italy. His laboratories study the fundamental mechanisms of aging in yeast, rodents and humans by using genetics and biochemistry techniques. The focus is on the nutrient-response signal transduction pathways that regulate disease and longevity. This work led to the discovery of the effects of periodic fasting and fasting mimicking diets on multi-system stem cell activation and regeneration in mice, and to clinical trials on a range of age-related diseases.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode: Genova Connect: Receive 15% off any of their tests with code metaboliclink at https://gdx.net/themetaboliclinkAG1: This November, AG1 is offering a free gift with your first subscription plus a Welcome Kit at https://DrinkAG1.com/METABOLICLINK—while supplies last!Ned: Get 15% off Ned products with code METABOLICLINK at https://helloned.com/metaboliclinkLearn more about Dr. Valter Longo here.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

Fasting and fasting mimicking diets (FMD) are all the rage today, and for good reason. There are numerous, scientifically-proven physical health benefits to fasting, including increased lifespan, improved cardiovascular health, a healthier immune system, losing fat while preserving muscle, and more. And there are also a number of mental health benefits that can help you feel better, do better, and live better in general. In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein talks about her experience doing Prolon, the 5-day fasting mimicking diet developed by Dr. Valter Longo, a researcher at USC. She summarizes how fasting can help us become more mindful, more grateful for what we have, better ride out life's stresses, reduce our dependence on unhealthy foods, and more.

Dr. Dominic Brady, an award-winning plastic surgeon, was diagnosed with incurable Multiple Myeloma in 2017. Determined to augment his conventional treatment naturally, he did a deep dive into extensive cancer and nutrition research. As a result, Dr. Brady adopted a whole food, plant-based diet, regular exercise, and targeted supplements. His remarkable remission has surprised his oncologist, and he's now on an extremely low dose of immunomodulators, with a goal to completely eliminate medication—something previously thought impossible for myeloma patients.  In this episode, Dr. Brady shares his journey from being a cancer patient to helping others navigate their own cancer treatments. He highlights the critical role of nutrition, which is largely neglected in medical training. Inspired by Dr. Michael Gregor's book How Not to Die, Dr. Brady embraced a diverse, plant-based diet to support his microbiome, aiming for 30 different foods per week. He also discusses fasting, calorie restriction during chemotherapy, and the power of fiber and healthy fats. Dr. Brady covers various health practices like infrared saunas, detoxification, and water purification to support healing.  For more on Dr. Brady's approach and to make an appointment, visit his website.  Find Dr Dominic Brady at: Website: www.naturalinsightsintocancer.com Instagram: @cancerveggiedoc Book – Beat Back Cancer Naturally: https://a.co/d/2pJj6La  Discussed on the PODCAST: Book - How Not to Die – Dr. Michael Gregor - https://a.co/d/eSZJz4M Book - The Anti Cancer Diet – Dr. David Servan-Schreiber - https://a.co/d/iTOfqUh The American Gut Project - https://microsetta.ucsd.edu/  Book - The Starch Solution – John McDougal - https://a.co/d/1EJmnHi Book – The China Study – Dr. T.
