“Getting older is mandatory… Deterioration is optional.”
Most of us think of aging as a slow downhill slide. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We now know the illnesses that seem to crop up over time are mostly influenced by our environment and how we live our lives – ‘the cumulative damage of a thousand little insults’ we experience every day. I help people heal the damage and dodge the cuts, so youthfulness and health can be carried throughout life.
Fast With Me!
A Life-Changing Key to Healthy Longevity
“Fasting is a powerful and natural way to help the body recover from the incremental damages inflicted by an unhealthy lifestyle and to rejuvenate its cells and systems.”
Dr. Valter Longo, Director, USC Longevity Institute
When I first learned about fasting, I was hooked.
Yes . . . it meant I had to stop eating – at least for short periods. And while Initially even the intermittent fasting was a challenge, I soon settled into a rhythm and things started to change.
When you stop eating, the body goes into a deep healing mode. Fasting stimulates growth hormone and stem cell production to make repairs at the cellular level. It triggers a process called “autophagy”, the cleaning out of harmful cellular debris. Surprisingly, It gives you more energy and supports the genetic pathways that slow aging and keep you youthful and resilient.
But a key element of a fast is the length of time you sustain it. And for most, going even one or two days with only water can present a challenge. That’s where Dr. Valter Longo and the Prolon team enter. Through his extensive research as director of the Longevity Institute at USC, Longo has created a 5-Day fasting mimicking diet that anyone can follow.
I fast three times a year with the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet and invite you to join me on this healing journey.
Fasting is your gateway to deep healing and rejuvenation. It’s a process that may just change your life…

New life starts here…
At some point in our lives, we start to notice little things starting to change: a new wrinkle, a sag, some aches and pains, forgetting a name, clothing that’s slightly harder to zip… and the thought of aging creeps into our psyche, hitting us like a ton of bricks…
“Am I gonna lose my marbles like my dad and his dad?”
“Will I still be able to do the things I love?”
“Will this pain in my joints ever go away?”
“Why in hell can’t I lose weight?? Am I going to become a big fat blob?”
“Why can’t I shake the fear of being alone?”
“Will I become invisible?”
“Sounds shallow… but how do I stay beautiful?”
