Discover how fasting can transform health at the cellular level. This presentation dives into the groundbreaking science of the Fasting-Mimicking Diet (FMD) and its ability to spark autophagy—the body’s ultimate renewal system. Learn how this powerful process cleans out damaged cells, boosts metabolic function, protects vital organs, protects muscle mass and supports immune health.
By pairing the principles of “food as medicine” with the proven science of fasting, we’ll explore how FMD can be a true value-add to lifestyle medicine-offering a practical, evidence-based intervention that integrates seamlessly with exercise, nutrition, stress management, and sleep to optimize outcomes. With FMD, clinicians can equip patients to unlock healthier aging, improve resilience, and extend healthspan in ways once thought impossible.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the mechanistic basis of autophagy and its role in cellular and systemic health.
Evaluate the clinical evidence supporting the use of fasting-mimicking diets for metabolic optimization and disease prevention.
Identify strategies to incorporate FMD into lifestyle medicine practice as an adjunct to conventional interventions, enhancing patient outcomes and promoting healthspan.
