Did you know your immune system has its own biological clock? And that by your 40s, it may already be aging faster than you think?
In this eye-opening episode, we explore how prolonged fasting, as studied by world-renowned scientist Dr. Valter Longo, can reset your immune age, regenerate your thymus gland, and kickstart the production of new T-cells, the soldiers of your immune system.
You’ll learn:
- Why your immune system weakens with age (and what the thymus gland has to do with it)
- How fasting triggers autophagy and stem cell activation
- What scientists mean by “immune rejuvenation” and how it relates to fat loss, inflammation, and chronic disease prevention
- Why this approach may be more powerful than calorie restriction or biohacking fads
We also break down what biological age really means, the science of senescent “zombie” cells, and how strategic fasting, especially the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), may hold the key to slowing down aging and reclaiming health after 40.
If you’ve ever felt older than your age… if you’ve struggled with stubborn fat, inflammation, fatigue, or frequent illness, this episode is for you.
Backed by research from:
- Dr. Valter Longo (Fasting Mimicking Diet, thymic regeneration)
- Dr. Jason Fung (autophagy and metabolic healing)
- Dr. David Sinclair (zombie cells and inflammation)
This is not just about weight loss, it’s about turning back your immune clock.
