Jill Brook MA – Fasting and Autoimmunity: New Promising Findings

From the LDN 2019 Conference, videos can be found here It has long been known that fasting can reduce inflammation and autoimmunity, and may extend life, however this strategy isn’t considered widely practical and has safety concerns.  Several versions of quasi-fasting and intermittent fasting have arisen and gained popularity among people seeking benefits to health and longevity.  Research from the USC Longevity Institute suggests that an occasional 5-day diet mimicking fasting—which still allows quite a bit of certain foods—can produce many of the same benefits as water-only fasting while reducing the risks and deprivation.  This presentation will describe several methods of intermittent fasting, with an emphasis on the fast-mimicking diet.  It will explain the protocol, share a typical menu, and explain how it causes the body to destroy autoantibodies and then trigger stem cell regeneration to promote new healthy tissue growth.  Finally, Jill will share some practical tips from her experience helping her clients with the diet.
