In this episode of The Metabolic Link filmed at Metabolic Health Summit 2024, Dr. Valter Longo shares his latest research on the fasting mimicking diet (FMD) and its powerful impact on aging, metabolic diseases, and cancer treatment. With a focus on periodic fasting interventions, Dr. Longo highlights the role of FMD in activating stem cells, enhancing cellular repair mechanisms, and even reversing metabolic dysfunctions like insulin resistance and type 1 diabetes.
Dr. Longo’s work is paving the way for more accessible, non-invasive therapies for chronic conditions, with far-reaching implications for aging, cancer prevention, and metabolic health. If you’re an academic, medical professional, or researcher, you won’t want to miss this in-depth discussion on how FMD could shape the future of medicine.
Valter Longo, PhD, is the Edna Jones Professor in Gerontology, the Director of the USC Longevity Institute and group leader at the IFOM cancer research institute in Milan, Italy. His laboratories study the fundamental mechanisms of aging in yeast, rodents and humans by using genetics and biochemistry techniques. The focus is on the nutrient-response signal transduction pathways that regulate disease and longevity. This work led to the discovery of the effects of periodic fasting and fasting mimicking diets on multi-system stem cell activation and regeneration in mice, and to clinical trials on a range of age-related diseases.

In this episode, we're sharing a presentation from Metabolic Health Summit 2024 that dives into a groundbreaking experiment titled "Oreo vs. Statin," by researcher-educator Nick Norwitz, PhD. What started as a personal journey with metabolic health turned into a captivating exploration of the lipid energy model and lean mass hyper responders. Dr. Norwitz shares the dramatic results of his unorthodox study, where a diet consisting primarily of Oreos led to a jaw-dropping 70% reduction in LDL cholesterol. We discuss the implications of his findings, the challenges he's faced in the scientific community, and the importance of asking uncomfortable questions in pursuit of knowledge. This episode is an opportunity to watch an engaging lecture filled with scientific awe, unexpected results, and a call to action for more open-minded discussions in metabolic health!
Dr. Nick Norwitz has a mission to “Make Metabolic Health Mainstream.” He graduated Valedictorian from Dartmouth College in 2018, majoring in Cell Biology and Biochemistry. He then completed his PhD in Metabolism at the University of Oxford in 2021, before attending Harvard Medical School to complete his MD. Dr. Norwitz enthusiasm for the field of Metabolism derives from a personal struggle with severe Inflammatory Bowel Disease that left him physically emaciated, mentally depleted, and emotionally fragmented. In desperation, he found that a ketogenic diet put his disease into remission where conventional approaches had failed.

In this journal club episode of The Metabolic Link, we explore the cutting-edge "Metabolic Overdrive Hypothesis" with Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, Dr. Angela Poff, and Victoria Field, diving into the brain’s energy dysregulation in bipolar disorder. The featured paper, "The Metabolic Overdrive Hypothesis: Hyperglycolysis and Glutaminolysis in Bipolar Mania", by authors Dr. Iain Campbell and Dr. Harry Campbell, proposes that mitochondrial dysfunction forces the brain into a hypermetabolic state, leading to manic episodes.
We discuss how this groundbreaking research links bipolar disorder to epilepsy and how therapeutic ketosis—through diet or supplementation—might restore energy balance, reduce manic episodes, and complement traditional medications.
With the potential to reshape psychiatric treatment, you won't want to miss this paper or journal club episode! Read the full paper here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-024-02431-w

In this episode, recorded at Metabolic Health Summit 2024, Dr. Richard Johnson dives into the groundbreaking research that has uncovered the central role of fructose in driving the epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and a wide range of other metabolic diseases.
Dr. Johnson presents compelling evidence that fructose, a seemingly innocuous sugar, is in fact a key trigger for activating a powerful biological survival switch. This switch, evolved in nature to help animals prepare for times of scarcity, is now being inadvertently activated in humans by our modern high-carbohydrate, high-sugar diets.
Through detailed scientific explanation and insightful case studies, Dr. Johnson illuminates how fructose's unique metabolic effects - including its ability to lower ATP levels, induce leptin resistance, and promote fat storage - are the driving forces behind the rise of metabolic syndrome and its associated conditions.
Equally important, Dr. Johnson offers practical dietary recommendations and strategies to help individuals navigate this complex landscape, emphasizing the importance of reducing sugar, refined carbs, and processed foods, while embracing a low-carb, nutrient-dense approach.
This eye-opening episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the root causes of the metabolic health crisis and learn evidence-based solutions to reclaim their wellbeing.

In this episode of The Metabolic Link, Victoria Field, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, and Dr. Angela Poff dive into a fascinating new paper that compares the metabolic and immune impacts of ketogenic and vegan diets in humans.
The study, titled “Differential Peripheral Immune Signatures Elicited by Vegan Versus Ketogenic Diets in Humans” takes a deep dive into the multi-omic effects of these two very different dietary approaches. The researchers found that just two weeks on a ketogenic diet significantly enhanced markers of adaptive immunity, while the vegan diet was associated with increased innate immune function.
The hosts unpack these findings, discussing the potential mechanisms behind the divergent immune signatures, the limitations of the short-term study design, and the need for further research.
They also highlight the importance of carefully standardizing the macronutrient and micronutrient compositions of the dietary interventions to isolate the key drivers of the observed changes.
Overall, this episode provides a thought-provoking look at the profound impacts that diet can have on the functioning of our immune system, setting the stage for future studies exploring the therapeutic potential of nutritional approaches.
