Fasting To Empower Health
A State of Continuous Eating
Fasting, What Is It?
- Fasting: To abstain from food and beverage
- Biological Fasting:
- To not consume food that triggers cellular Food Sensing Pathways: PKA, IGF-1 & mTOR
- Sensing Pathways are triggered up to 24 hours after the last meal
- Biological fasting begins 24 hours from your last meal
- Misconceptions
- "Juice fasting is considered fasting because it does not contain solid food"
Fasting: Part of A Healthy Human Diet, Which Has Been Lost
Optimize The Body Through Fasting
USC Dr. Longo pioneered the research characterizing nutrient sensing pathways
Dr. Longo
- Longevity Institute at the USC School of Gerontology focuses on fundamental mechanisms of aging
- Demonstrated in laboratory and clinical studies that the IGF-1, TOR, and PKA pathways are closely related to aging
- Elevation of these nutrient-sensing pathways accelerates aging processes
- IGF-1 has been associated with the longest living human populations (centenarians)

Fasting Types
- Time Restricted Eating/Feeding (TRE/TRF)
- Daily pattern of eating during a window of 8 to 12 hours
- Intermittent Fasting (IF)
- 1-3 days of fasting, usually non-consecutive
- Per week
- Prolonged Fasting (PF)
- 4 or more consecutive days of fasting
- Water Only Fasting
- Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD)
The Impact Of Fasting
Prolonged Fasting & Water Only Fasting Benefits:
Water Only Fasting Disadvantages:
USC developed the Fasting while Eating Food Concept Known As The Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD)
The Fasting Mimicking Diet
- Natural, plant-based nutrition technology that mimics fasting for 5 days
- All this while providing the body with nutrition
- Stomach sees food, while the cells believe fasting is taking place
- Consists of
- Soups
- Bars
- Teas
- Drinks
- Snacks
- Supplements
- Fasting becomes more practical
- No lifestyle changes required
- FMD induces fast fat loss without decreasing lean body mass
- Maintains healthy metabolism
