Periodic & Intermittent Fasting vs. A Fast-Mimicking Diet with Dr. Joseph Antoun

Does a fast-mimicking diet give you the same benefits as a 5-day water fast?

How important is periodic fasting - also known as prolonged fasting - to your health? What is the best length of an intermittent fast?

In this episode of The Joe Cohen Show, we dive deep into the world of fasting with our guest Dr. Joseph Antoun from L-Nutra, the pioneering company behind the revolutionary fast-mimicking diet.

We discuss the science and mechanisms behind the fast-mimicking diet, exploring how it allows you to consume food and trick your body into thinking it’s fasting!

Dr. Antoun also shares his thoughts on the best time to stop eating, how long your intermittent fast should be, and how these practices can improve your longevity.

Dr. Joseph Antoun is CEO & Chairman of the Board of L-Nutra and Member of the Forbes Business Development Council. He's the former CEO of Health Systems Reform, a boutique consultancy aimed at improving public health by reforming health systems, management, and delivery.
