Chatting with Luigi Fontana; Professor of Medicine and Nutrition and author

Today I am chatting with Luigi Fontana. Professor Luigi Fontana is an internationally recognized physician scientist and one of the world’s leaders in the field of nutrition and healthy longevity in humans. His pioneering clinical studies on the effects of dietary restriction have opened a new area of nutrition-related research that holds tremendous promise for the prevention of age-related chronic diseases. His research has delivered a paradigm shift in the understanding of how dietary restriction, by slowing the accumulation of metabolic and molecular damage, deeply influence human aging biology and the initiation, progression and prognosis of many clinical conditions, ranging from obesity to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

 

Key points addressed were  

• Luigi’s core components in his book titled: The path to longevity in which he outlines key puzzle pieces to longevity and argues are  core to living a lifestyle that prevents disease and promotes a healthier and more fulfilling life
