Not only for the New Year -- for a new YOU!

Regenerate from within and give your body the reboot it needs for a fresh start.

Fasting has received all kinds of attention in the media these days. In  2018, it was one of the most searched for diet terms on Google, and many  weight loss experts are touting the benefits of fasting to the public.  Our practice supports fasting because it has been clinically shown to  promote health and help patients lose weight and feel better. What’s  more, a longer (five day) fast has been shown to help rejuvenate cells  by enhancing the natural process of cellular renewal. There are several  types of fasting, from prolonged (2+ consecutive days) to intermittent  (i.e. 5:2 or alternate day) to time-restricted eating (i.e. 12:12 or  16:8). Overall these fasts are attractive because they’re easy to  follow, require minimal planning, and are somewhat easy to stick to vs. a  complete dietary overhaul. 

However, there is a problem–and not because  the fasts are bad. They aren’t. In fact, short fasts and intermittent  fasting can be helpful tools for improving your health. 

The issue is short fasts only deliver a portion of results possible with fasting.  Until recently, most people didn’t know this. This is why our practice  encourages patients to incorporate a prolonged 5-day fast instead, where  additional health benefits such as cellular clean-up can be achieved.  And, the easiest way to do this is by using ProLon®. Personally, I have used this product myself and  loved it. To get started, click on this link or call my office to  schedule a private consultation to see if ProLon is right for you.

ProLon—the world’s  first and only “Fasting Mimicking Diet®”— is a 5-day meal program that is backed by 20 years and $36 Million in  research and development.  ProLon was developed to give  you the benefits of a prolonged fast. It has been shown to:
 

• Reduce visceral fat while maintaining lean body mass
• Initiate cellular clean-up (autophagy)
• Help maintain healthy levels of metabolic markers
• And more…all without giving up food!
