Short Description Fasting‑mimicking‑diet creator linking nutrition cycles to longevity.
Description Dr. Valter Longo directs the USC Longevity Institute and the IFOM Research Program on Longevity in Milan. He popularized the Fasting‑Mimicking Diet (FMD), showing periodic five‑day low‑protein, low‑calorie cycles promote stem‑cell regeneration and reduce IGF‑1. Randomized trials indicate FMD benefits metabolic syndrome patients and cancer‑therapy tolerance, leading to commercialization via L‑Nutra’s ProLon kits. Longo donates royalties to nonprofit initiatives battling malnutrition and lobbies for geroprotective diet guidelines at the WHO.
