Heart disease. Cancer. Diabetes. Stroke. Autoimmune disease.
We treat them as five separate problems — different specialists, different drugs, different waiting rooms. But what if they’re not separate at all?
In my latest interview, I sat down with fasting researcher Dr. Alan Goldhamer and Dr. Toshia Myers of TrueNorth Health for a conversation that reframes how I think about getting sick — and getting well.
Their argument: many of the diseases that steal our last decades aren’t unrelated. They’re different faces of the same underlying metabolic dysfunction. And the body, given the chance, has a startling ability to undo the damage.
A few things we get into:
* Healthspan vs. lifespan — and why we’ve added years without adding healthy ones
* Why your body burns its most dangerous fat first (one study saw men lose 40% of their visceral fat in two weeks)
* How fasting normalized blood pressure in stage-two hypertensives — most stayed off medication a year later
* Why refeeding may matter as much as the fast itself
* The thread connecting inflammation, autoimmune disease, and cancer
* How fasting resets your palate so healthy food finally tastes good
Whether you’ve fasted before or just want to stay strong as you age, I think this one will stick with you.
