Fasting can feel tough, right?
Have you shoved your breakfast away and got yourself ready to take a stab at fasting? You may well be, and should be, confused by the sheer amount of options to pick from.
What is autophagy and does fasting increase autophagy? Today, I'm sharing the science on this "cellular recyling" process!
In the endless debates over what-to-eat and what-not-to-eat, consideration of when to eat too often gets overlooked. This is unfortunate - research shows pretty convincingly that timing our meals intelligently can produce remarkable health benefits.

When your body goes into autophagy through adjusting your diet, miraculous things happen at the genetic level, leading to peak health, longevity and more.
People pay a lot of money for stem cell injections, seeking a variety of treatments, ranging from the regeneration of joints to anti-aging. What makes this exciting is during fasting and autophagy, new stem cells are generated naturally! Fasting and Autophagy: A Powerful 1-2 Punch What is Autophagy? When it comes
Our step-by-step guide to the stages of fasting. Hormones surging up and down! Autophagy! Stem-cell proliferation! Read about each stage and how to target the benefits.
It really is incredible how the human body takes care of itself. Without us even noticing, our body is creating new cells and recycling old ones to keep us "up to date" and firing on all cylinders. Autophagy is the natural process in which the body takes old and damaged cell debris and turns it into useful amino acids, creating new, healthy, optimally-performing cells. While autophagy happens naturally in the human body, it can be harnessed through a simple meal plan, fasting schedule, and a couple of scoops of collagen.
Curious about fasting?
On October 3rd 2016, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Yoshinori Ohsumi for his discoveries of mechanisms for autophagy. Essentially, this is the body’s mechanism of getting rid of all the broken down, old cell machinery. This discovery can help renew your body.
It's called autophagy, and its highly underrated.
Just like that drawer of broken electronics starts to fill up and the pile of clothes in need of hemming gets taller and taller, our bodies need a little spring cleaning and maintenance too! Cellular waste and dead cells can accumulate and ultimately lead to a whole host of different diseases and impairments. Luckily, our bodies are equipped to remove and replace damaged and dead cells through a process called “autophagy”. Here are eight things you can do to trigger autophagy and improve your mental and physical health and longevity!
Intermittent fasting is all the rage. This article goes over 5 healing benefits of intermittent fasting and the best strategies for this.
Low protein, low carb, high protein, high fat, no fat. It seems every day you hear of a new dietary recommendation.

People have long searched for—and even written books about—a long-hoped-for fountain of youth. Today, we all know and accept that such a magical thing just couldn’t exist. But are we hopeless against the inevitable onslaught of age? Are we utterly powerless to the changes it makes to our bodies—p
When we talk about the deep cellular renewal benefits of the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), much of the discussion centers on autophagy, the body’s cellular recycling, removal, and repair process – but that’s just the first phase of the total cellular reprogramming that occurs as a result of a prolonged FMD like Prolon’s 5-Day Program. Backed by over 30 scientific studies and 25 years of research, Prolon’s nutrition technology doesn’t stop with autophagy; it works to promote a total cellular reset in the body, one that has been linked to a significant reduction in biological age score, improved metabolic markers, and a healthy immune system. Here’s a closer look at this remarkable cellular transformation. Phase 1: Autophagy (Rejuvenation) Autophagy, the initial stage of cellular reprogramming (otherwise known as cellular rejuvenation), is triggered when the body is deprived of nutrients for an average of 72 hours. This is why autophagy generally activates on Day 3 of your 5-Day Program - it usually will not activate when we are consuming food. When we eat, our nutrient sensing pathways down regulate our body’s ability to spark autophagy; however when we fast, these pathways are turned off and autophagy can take place. This is what makes Prolon’s nutrition technology so revolutionary – your body is able to turn off these nutrient sensing pathways so autophagy can occur, but you are still receiving essential nourishment during the fasting period. So what happens during autophagy and this first stage of cellular reprogramming? In this initial period, your body begins to evaluate and eliminate cellular waste buildup; think of it as a massive spring cleaning at the cellular level. During autophagy your body identifies and discards damaged components like protein and organelles while working to recycle and prioritize what is still viable. Phase 2: Cellular Reprogramming After these damaged cellular components are discarded, the body is able to make way for younger, higher-functioning cells to thrive. These more vibrant cells work to help the body function more efficiently, support key metabolic markers, immune health, and consequently work to slow the aging process – a transformation we refer to as cellular reprogramming. “Autophagy ends with a full reprogramming of new cells, “ explains L-Nutra’s CEO, Dr Joseph Antoun MD, PhD. “When you reprogram, you are impacting the DNA,” he says. “We are reprogramming the cells to behave younger.” By clearing the cellular cobwebs and also initiating this reprogramming process, cells operate as efficiently as possible making the 5-Day a longevity game changer. The Scientific Proof of Cellular Reprogramming Sure, there may be benefits of the 5-Day Program you can see and feel early on, like possible weight loss, renewed focus, and improved energy levels, but where is the proof that cellular reprogramming is actually taking place? A recent study published in Nature Communications points to two important markers as proof this transformation is indeed occurring. The first is a reduced biological age score. The breakthrough study found that just three cycles of Prolon (done over the course of three consecutive months) could reduce your biological age by an average of 2.5 years. That means just 15 days out of 90 could make a significant shift in your health journey for years to come. In fact, health calculations based on the data of this study predict that following the FMD 3x a year during the ages of 50 - 70 could reduce your biological age score by 11 years! While further longitudinal research is needed to verify these calculations, the longevity potential is impressive. The second key marker is improved immune health. The study noted that three consecutive cycles of Prolon also increased the lymphoid to myeloid ratio: an indicator of immune system age, suggesting that the cellular changes taking place may also support a healthy immune system. While there are many benefits to the FMD, it’s Prolon’s nutrition technology that takes the body all the way to the cellular reprogramming phase, setting the foundation for lasting longevity and a meaningful impact on your health journey.
