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 + <10% protein, 35 % Carbs, 5% Sugar, 50% Healthy Fats
+ 800 Calories day 2-5 + Full Serving of Fiber + Ghost Carbons (glycerin is one
– it drives glycerin into the Krebb’s Cycle for energy and only used if in
starvation mode)

If You do try to play test
kitchen at your home and you do the blood work after and you notice not much
changed, consider it’s because you failed and not that fast mimicking diet
failed.

There are actually 14 soups that
they did the federal research on, but only half are released in the boxes so
far.

Ketosis

By day 3 you will be in ketosis
about 1.5-1.8 mmol per decaliter.  You
will lose visceral fat, lose weight in general but more importantly it cleans
up the damaged cells.  IGF-1 raises from
eating protein (which helps muscle growth) (also in ketosis based diets
typically the protein intake is to high) and this diet helps reduce/inhibit the
IGF by having very little animal protein for 5 days and that gets the cells to
cleanup (autophagy).

Ketosis alone will not cause the
cellular autophagy.

Why the headache on day 2?

Caffeine withdrawal (PKA
reduction is one of our goals),  mTOR
(reduced by reducing sugars), and IGF-1 (also lowered in this 5 day fast
mimicking diet).  Listen for the other 2
reasons.

No MCT oil, No supplements, No
ketone salts during the 5 day FMD.
