Autophagy

Todays Snacksize Doctor’s Kitchen podcast is all about fasting. I’m often about fasting and the proposed benefits, how to fast and more.

I’ve done a selection of podcasts with experts from around on this topic including Sachin Panda on episode 153, Valter Longo on 163 and Mindy Pelz on 216 if you want to dive deeper. But here is my overview from all of those conversations in under 10 minutes. I hope you enjoy this short, succinct summary that gives you a good understanding of the basics as well as some practical convenient options to trial fasting if you’re interested.

The foundation of our health is a robust immune system that has a very important mechanism of cleaning out inflammatory cells. If this process is broken, the inflammatory cells can actually turn other functioning cells into inflammatory cells. Our daily life habits and exposures, such as sleep, stress management, diet, and toxins, affect key biological processes that impact our immune function. When our immune health is functioning properly, the rest of our body follows with less illness and disease.

In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Dr. Leonard Calabrese about ways that we can support our immune systems to reduce the chance of illness and disease.

Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing.

Dr. Leonard Calabrese is a Professor of Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University and Vice Chair of the Department of Rheumatic and Immunologic Diseases. He is also the director of the RJ Fasenmyer Center for Clinical Immunology at the Cleveland Clinic and holds joint appointments in the Department of Infectious Diseases and the Wellness Institute.

Does your midlife brain think about the body's ability to cure itself? Do you feel like you’ve tried everything when it comes to health, wellness, and midlife muffin top?
