- If you want to learn how to introduce longevity into your clinic but feel overwhelmed with conflicting information then I'm hosting a webinar with Dr Nichola on the 28th May especially for clinicians to help you get started. This webinar will help ANY medical injector get started in longevity whether you're a beginner or advanced. Sign up to be notified when webinar registration goes live here: shorturl.at/etEM3
So many of us feel like we 'can't go without breakfast' and that we need 3 meals a day to be healthy, but this just isn't true. In fact, science tells us that fasting is hugely beneficial for longevity in numerous ways.
In this episode I discuss with cellular aging scientist Dr Nichola how diet can influence our biological age, the foods that we SHOULD be eating to live healthier longer lives, and the foods that are killing us faster.

I'm a kidney transplant patient (4yrs) and am 68 yrs. Old. I started Omad (fat based) for that same amount of time.
My kidney function is the same as it was the day after my tranplant.
A1c is 4.8. It is very important to keep your insulin levels low and avoid spikes. High insulin can adversely
Affect virtually all of your metabolic markers.
I am arguably in the best shape of my life. It is so true that 3 meals a day put constant stress on your body's organs.
Eating less often will reward you 10 times over.
At what age you received the transplant? What is your diet? Is it plant based or do you eat meat?
Do you exercise everyday? What kinda exercise and how long?
been eating less as age... I eat light breakfast, heavy lunch, and light dinner, more on fruits.. it's that I don't have that appetite especially living alone... I just sleep more and rest more...
I am more on 3 meals a day (with 2 days of intermitent fasting each week), but I understand those who are OK with OMAD. It's good sometimes to feel hunger, and let our body go through a short time of starvation. It's not a pressure, quite fun actually. Cravings make your feel miserable, far more than hunger.
I eat a light breakfast after a walk, dinner by 5pm.

The quality of the meal and its nutrient density & variety is important too. For example : when having 1 meal a day have all 3 macro nutrients in the meal and rotate food sources and recepies across the week/month to avoid nutritional deficiencies.
Im 44 and usually eat one main meal then maybe one smaller meal/snack a day. I also started fasting once a week as im just nit hungry.
You can still fast 16-18hrs and easily fit 3 meals into a 6-8hr eating window. Especially when you lift weights and want three protein servings for better muscle protein synthesis.
My husband and I have a landscape maintenance business, so on days I work in addition to my personal gardening (where I grow my own food) and my daily exercise (weight lifting, HIIT, and steady state cardio), I am hungry. I usually eat three times a day and a snack. I’m legitimately hungry. I did the Zoe Predict study when it first came out, and I metabolized both fat and glucose very quickly. I still prick my finger from time to time to check my blood sugar two hours after meals. I think many people simply don’t move enough in a day to be that hungry.
Exactly. You are right. I do CrossFit, running, lifting and biking.
I’m 63 and vegan for 8 years. I take no medications. I will say this. As you become older, hormones change and metabolism slows. I recently began OMAD. I was afraid I would be hungry on OMAD but it only took a week to get used to it. Basically, your body will adjust to your eating schedule. If you eat 3 meals and snacks every day, that is what your body will crave. I eat enough food within about 2-3 hours, enough to hold me until the same time the next day and I am not hungry until that time. I eat around 6pm or 7pm. During the day, I just drink a zero-calorie electrolyte water that I make myself with magnesium, potassium, and pink salt. A lot of the craving for food is not true hunger but the need for minerals and the electrolyte water provides those. Blood sugar on OMAD will stabilize once your body gets used to OMAD. I just know that after age 60, it is difficult to lose weight and easy to gain weight. I see a lot of people my age who are overweight, basically because they are trying to eat the same foods and keep the same eating schedule (3 meals a day) as they did in their younger years. These people are overweight and usually on some type of medications. So I think that you might think about cutting back on 3 meals a day and snacks because I guarantee you will not be happy with your weight by the time you are my age.
Try being around someone who only eats once a day….avoid until after their meal to save yourself from their hangry mood.
What is the test called for fat & glucose called? I agree with OMAD I have done this for over a year and feel fabulous and have been told I look great....Thank you for your valuable information and this topic.
Just turning 36 an electrician so my job is physically exerting for 8 to 10 hours but you can live clean this way and learn how to live in your own. True independence isn’t making money. It’s not caring about fiat currency.
OMAD is the best!
of course not... in the history of humans, we had to look for food... we didn't always find it... so not only did we not eat regularly... but we also went hungry
So what? We now live waaaaay longer dont we?
@@fabiansandoval6132 I m not sure. My mom had hearth attack three years ago. Stroke 2ya. And 20 years of autoimmune muscle disease, Diabetes and so on. She eats mostly vegetables, potatoes, rice and sometimes meat.
I am 58 and I have 1 meal a day most of the time.
Wow! This is wow! How are you feeling?
Do you have coffee? Collagen?
I'm 78 and always have one meal a day. I have coffee and other drinks to stay hydrated. Although I enjoy my food, I seldom feel hungry.

It's called nutritional medicine.
Lower insulin by not eating carbohydrates
What is "aesthetics"??? In medicine???
I'm 90 and eat one meal a week....
😂
😂😂😂
Dammmm
I am 70 start my food intake around 12 pm small amounts and eat regularly during the day, still have hard time losing weight
Because you are eating regularly with small amounts. That keeps insulin high all the time.
Eating regularly is old paradigm. Better is eat once or two times during so called feeding windows. Especially if you eat carbs. Studys say that better window is from morning to lunch but alot of people are happy with lunch to dinner window.
Every time you eat, you spikes your insulin levels and therefore, your body stops being in fat loss mode and goes into storing fat.
Also, if you don't eat but put milk/ cream and sugar in your coffee, you are breaking your fast and releasing insulin. Look up Dr Mindy Pelz, she is really great
Track your calories. Your probably eating over your maintenance calories. Follow the Tdee calculator
Agreed that we don’t need to graze on snacks all day long. What always puzzles me though are the comparisons to our hunter gatherer ancestors and that they ate/lived the way our bodies are designed - when the average life expectancy in those times was around 35 and humans did not have a varied diet at all. 😅 What does that proove about longevity? Furthermore, with the new protein recommendations of 1.6 grams per kg of body weight - how do you get that in with one meal a day?! I focus more on keeping an even glucose curve and plenty of fruit and vegetables as well as protein. Fasting maybe as a tool once a week plus a fasting window of at least 12-16 hours every night till the next meal.
Great question! I think the historic context gives insights into the environment we are evolved to survive in- an environment with high infection rates (why we are so easily inflamed) and food scarcity.
We live longer now mainly due to solving childhood mortality, and reduced infections through sanitation and vaccination.
We hit the next limit- remove infectious disease and now e die from over nutrition because we have a body built for survival in an environment scarce of nutrients.
I think when you get into the habit of consuming protein as a priority it’s pretty easy. At 51kg I hit my protein target with a few eggs, chicken breast, cheese and Greek yoghurt, nuts etc and fit all that in between 12pm-7pm. My partner does the same but just eats double the protein 2x chicken breasts for example. I think one meal a day is extreme. But Eddie Abbew swears by not eating till 5pm and only eating eggs 😂
Life expectancy that low because of child deaths
I mean no disrespect by my comments. I just want to say modern medicine is under great confusion dont let recent improvements decieve🙏 rememeber it took 100 years for plastic surgeons to correct an obvious facial mistake❤
One mango daily
tomato 🍅 and onion 🧅 and chilli 🌶️
Salad enough night
Just saying eat more plants is misleading. Plants have antinutrients like phytic acid, oxalates and lectins.
Untrue.
@@foloeel true
Maybe but there are easier merhods
Second fasting can deplete facial adipose sooo very easily. There are way easier methods.
Overall 3 things support my arguments 1 g force pilot testing 2 face palsy results 3 how salamanders make up a limb.
For 3, when we are at a geometrical loss cells dont fill it in. There is no lead. Geometry leads just as Salamanders create a shape 1st then fill it in
There are other Energy supports to a rounder face.
Love her accent 😂
I don't need any food at all . I am living on air.
Grass fed air is the best
@@gman9035 ohh ya.
Is this posible? I want to do that. How can I do it?
same last 7years feel awsome
@@arughaogisi2249 yaaa, that is the only safest way because of all nutritionists.
Sorry but I’m 5’8” tall weigh 55kgs so my BMI is 18.5 right on normal weight but there is no way I could eat just one meal a day! I would fall over feeling dizzy, I have porridge for breakfast a small coffee morning tea a small healthy lunch piece of fruit and dinner veggies and a protein eg salmon and small Greek yogurt as my dessert! So I eat heaps but no way I could survive on 1 meal a day. I do 1 hour on a treadmill each day and I’m 66yrs old. I feel it’s balance that’s important and keeps you slim and fit 🙏 diets fasting extreme food diets are all very interesting but do what works for you ❤
Agree...l started having one cooked meal per day but also fruit and vegetables juice's, that I make.l am trying to lower my blood pressure...I hope it works and I am not hungry.
Protein raises insulin as well all be it a bit slower.Fat does not affect insulin.
Low fat diet fad, designed to make Pharma profit fat.
❤❤❤
What about oxalates in plants?
The thought is leaning towards oxalates upregulate our bodily protective functions much like heat or cold therapy. Like the old saying whereby the dose is the poison.
@@ironmaidenfitness654 What is the dosage then?
@@user-nz4un6se7y if you stick to natural foods, there is no amount of these foods you can eat that would give you a large enough dose to harm you. Funny how Mother Nature (or God - if you prefer) has worked things out perfectly for us overthinking humans 🩵
Almost impossible to eat only two meals. Blood sugar plummets. No energy.. irritable
That could be a sign of pre-diabetes. Plummeting sugar because of high insulin. Try low carb high fat diet to lower insulin response. Sugar in healthy person shouldn't plummet because liver can generate it through glucogenesis but if insulin levels are too high it can has such effect like in your case. Continuing with high carb diet would lock you in vicious cycle.
Nope. I eat omad but always full of energy. If i am diabetic possible of always sluggish due to low of energy
I need 3 meals and 2 snacks
Diabetes guaranteed😂😊
🙏👍😊
Imagine studying and Learning about this for years. And being completely wrong.. follow the money.
Imagine not having studied the subject at all, knowing nothing but thinking you know better.
If you are battling ED eat three meals and do not fast .
Yes, but we have to remember that ketosis we are in during fasting has therapeutic effect on mental disorders and can be achieved with low carb and carnivore diet too. This way body has acces to natural therapy and all needed nutritions.
And get fat why?
Seed oils have shown not to cause inflammation from randomised control trials.
Other RCTs (Sydney Diet Heart Study, Minnesota Coronary Experiment) proved they increase all-causes mortality: it's enough to avoid them, whether they are inflammatory or not.
Search also Chris Knobbe presentation "omega 6 apocalypse", not based on a RCT but showing interesting correlations between seed oils consumption increase and various diseases development (CVD, Macular degeneration, etc.)
Those studies are confounded with healthy user bias and diet bias selection. Nutrition science need experimental data to show cause and effect. I highly doubt seed oils, in context of mass produced ones never showed up in the wild or grew on trees.
@@RandomHuTaoSimp incorrect, watch Nutrition Made Simple by Sr Gil Carvalho. What’s extensive knowledge in the field of nutrition with absolutely no bias at all and the studies show that if anything seed oils such as canola oil actually show improvements in health.
@@RandomHuTaoSimp so just because something is natural you are saying it isn’t needed or healthy? Extra Virgin Olive oil comes from natural sources but it’s processing isn’t natural and it is healthy. There are mushrooms which are natural which when consumed could lead to death. Not all processing is bad and not all natural is good. However, all ultra processing is bad.
@@awolf913 This is a logical fallacy in an attempt to aggrandize the importance of nutritional epidemiology. It simply CANNOT account for healthy user bias, confounding factors, co variates and co linearities. These studies simply do not have the power to inform on cause and effect, ie non experimental data. This applies to the vast majority of nutrition science as a whole. Especially when you got other fields are HARD science, like bio chemistry, physics, human physiology and more that push the confidence interval in the opposite direction. Which is correct? You simply cannot make claims that isn't backed by hard data.
Not to mention these datasets were also not long term studies. This is why experimental data is important. This also applies to 2018 saturated fat study that last 3 weeks, yet they extrapolate from datasets to apply to predictable "outcomes." which is false by definition and simply cannot inform on risk. Again experimental data by definition of scientific discipline is needed to make these types of claims.
Disagree! Have three small meals ! Don’t push your human nature away so much . We like food
Have it. Better fast like once or twice a week . Indian fast culture is much better than intermittent fasting
With due respects to both countries,life expectancy of India is below that of the state of Palestine (71.9 years) for instance.
@@abdelilahbenahmed4350 and you think that one indicator is a sum total of just food habits? No other factor contributes to this? I see patients suffer from issues , energy dip down, faster aging because their focus shifts on so much of fasting to lose weight. That all comes back once they have average balanced meals . Intermittent fasting as a way of life doesn’t support a stress filled life .
This keeps your sugar level up and that is not good.
@@catitude4 How much up and what kind of foods one is eating , this determines whether it is bad or not! Brain needs glucose all the time! We need sugar .
@@ankitaAPu No the body can make what it needs. Sugar is very bad for the brain.
How about autophagy and repair? You folks are always screaming nonsense
Am 74. Take one meal a day at 12pm.
i've been on one meal a day and I look 18 again and i'm 21, when I was 17 I looked 23..
How many meals bla ,bla,
nonsense
Can't listen to this woman
why? she is adorable 😍
