Event details

Agenda

In this session, we dive into the revolutionary world of the ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD). Backed by decades of research from the University of Southern California, the FMD offers a unique way to gain the cellular benefits of fasting while still consuming specifically formulated plant-based nutrition.

We will explore groundbreaking clinical data, including the first-ever human evidence of autophagic flux, showing how periodic FMD cycles can reduce biological age, support metabolic flexibility, and trigger systemic cellular rejuvenation.

This webinar is essential for those seeking a science-led approach to healthy ageing and disease prevention.

Key Learning Objectives

By the end of this presentation, attendees will:

  • Understand the physiological difference between traditional water fasting and the “nutrient-sensing” technology of ProLon.
  • Identify the latest clinical evidence regarding biological age reduction (averaging 2.5 years) and markers of autophagy in humans.
  • Recognise the impact of FMD on metabolic health, including its role in reducing visceral fat, liver fat, and insulin resistance.
  • Evaluate how periodic cycles of FMD can support long-term immune system rejuvenation and cardiovascular health.
  • Implement practical strategies for integrating FMD into a wider nutritional therapy framework for clients.

Who is this course suitable for?

Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a student, or simply passionate about nutrition, our free webinars are open to everyone and a space to learn, ask questions, and hear from experts in the field.
