Calorie restriction has long been recognized as an anti-aging strategy, yet most find it unsustainable. Intermittent fasting has recently gained prominence as an alternative that may provide life-extending benefits; one clinical study demonstrated how following an FMD over three monthly cycles reduced insulin resistance, liver fat accumulation, inflammation levels and other indicators of biological aging.

Intermittent Fasting Options

Researchers have recently demonstrated that restricting calories helps decrease cell damage and maintain healthy DNA, although eliminating all daily calories may not be feasible for most individuals. Intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating (TRE) provides anti-ageing benefits by activating the body’s natural self-preservation mechanisms without necessitating complete caloric reduction. ADF (alternate daily fasting) is the most frequently practiced TRE strategy. This regimen entails two days a week where you consume only the amount of calories recommended for your age, gender and weight goal and five days when all calories are consumed as usual. Dr. Kodama will offer personalized guidance and assistance, helping you determine if ProLon FMD or another intermittent fasting protocol is appropriate for you. It is essential that enough water be consumed during fasting to avoid dehydration and avoid becoming dehydrated.
