Renee Fitton joins us today to dive into the fascinating world of fasting mimicking diets—a science-backed approach to achieving the benefits of fasting while still eating! Renee is an MS, Registered Dietitian, and the Director of Education and Healthcare Sales at Prolon, where she educates healthcare professionals and individuals on the groundbreaking impact of fasting mimicking on cellular health, metabolism, longevity, and hormonal balance.
We explore how fasting mimicking works, why women over 40 need a different approach to fasting, and how this method supports biological age reversal, skin health, metabolic function, and hormonal balance. Plus, we get into the research behind autophagy (cellular cleanup), insulin sensitivity, and how this practice helps with perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
In this episode, we discuss:
🔥 What is fasting mimicking and how does it work?
🔥 Why traditional fasting research has been geared toward men and what women need to know
🔥 The difference between intermittent fasting & prolonged fasting (and why the 5-day window is key!)
🔥 How fasting mimicking helps turn back your biological clock
🔥 The cellular cleanup process (autophagy) and why it matters for longevity
🔥 How fasting impacts skin health, metabolism, and hormonal balance
🔥 The science-backed benefits for women in perimenopause & menopause
🔥 How to approach refeeding after a fast (protein, plant-based options, and more)
🔥 Common myths about fasting & longevity
🔥 The unexpected motivation boost that comes with fasting (and why it helps people make better health choices!)
If you're curious about how to harness fasting for optimal health without deprivation, this episode is for you!
