"Fasting mimicking diets are a way to get all of the incredible benefits of fasting... without actually having to do water-only fasting."
In this week's episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am joined by Renee Fitton, a visionary at the intersection of nutrition, healthcare, and education.
Renee shares insights from her extensive background in health science and her role as Director of Education and Healthcare Sales at Prolon. She dives into the benefits of fasting, particularly the fasting-mimicking diet, which offers the advantages of fasting without going entirely without food.
Then explain how this approach can help women in midlife combat aging, improve metabolic health, and even reduce biological age. She also discusses the importance of muscle preservation during weight loss, and how personalized nutrition plays a key role in overall health. If you're curious about how fasting and nutrition can support healthy aging, this episode is packed with actionable tips and expert insights.
Tune in to learn how you can take the first step toward a healthier, more vibrant life!
