E 139 Prolon Fast Mimicking Diet Deep Dive with James Kelley MD

Dr. James Kelley, MD talks to Dr. Justin Trosclair DC on A Doctor's Perspective Podcast. Learn about the 5 day fast mimicking diet, prolon by L-nutra. Clinically shown to act like a water fast but you eat and still get apoptosis, autophagy, stem cell rejuvenation and reduces IGF-1, mTOR and improves cholesterol while losing visceral fat. L-nutra with their signature product Prolon 5 day fast mimicking diet food box is going to be thoroughly dissected today on the podcast. It’s based off of Dr. Valter Longo research and book The Longevity Diet. L-nutra / prolon has received around 50 million dollars of federal research money to make sure the food in the prolon box tricks your body into thinking it’s fasting yet your are eating. Prolonging longevity aka Prolon. Trick  your body into thinking it is in a fasting state. (Eating really helps with compliance for 5 days while your body does apoptosis , autophagy and going into a ketosis state.) After 5 days this diet leads to Stem Cell Stimulation and Rejuvenation. If your body never lacks calories, it never has that primal need to destroy the bad tissues in your body which ends up causing poor cell replication etc and diseases eventually show up.  Apoptosis and autophagy takes between 48-96 hours to kick in on a fast (roughly day 3-4). Day 5 is when stem cell enter the blood stream. The problem is that compliance on a water only fast usually ends on day 2 and if you can make 5 days, the body will eat a lot of your lean muscle mass. Prolon remedies both of these issues with its specially formulated food and glycerol drink. Why should you not try to mimic the prolon food plan? It’s very difficult to do.                 Glycemic Index + Types of Food +
