Fasting can be a powerful tool for immune health, inflammation, and cellular repair — but only when it’s done in a way that supports your body, not depletes it. In this episode, I explore how to use fasting strategically to work with your immune system and hormones, not against them.

We cover:

  • The different types of fasting — and how each one affects the body
  • What autophagy really is, and when it’s activated
  • How fasting may support metabolism, inflammation, and longevity
  • Why some people feel worse when they fast (hint: vitamin D plays a key role)
  • Fasting with your menstrual cycle
  • Autoimmunity, MCAS, adrenal health, and post-viral fatigue — when fasting helps and when it harms
  • My personal experience with the Fasting Mimicking Diet (ProLon) — and why I’m doing it again
  • Simple tips to manage hunger and cravings
  • A must-watch new documentary on food, aging, and the future of health featuring Dr. Valter Longo

If you’re ready to try the Fasting Mimicking Diet, you can get 20% off your ProLon 5-Day kit — including their new organic version — using the code VICTORIA at prolon.co.uk.

Tune in now and learn how to fast in a way that truly supports your immune system, hormones, and long-term health.
