Valter Longo, Ph.D.
Inventor: Fasting Mimicking Diet
Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California and The Program on Longevity and Cancer at IFOM in Milan designed the FMD.- He is considered the global leader in nutrition and aging.
- His research team took on the journey to uncover an intervention that slows/reverses biological aging and delays the onset of age-related diseases.
- Because it is risky nowadays to fast on water only, doctor Longo developed a natural plant-based meal program that imitates fasting while still feeding the body.
