Ray Cronise on Cold Thermogenesis, Intermittent Fasting, Weight Loss & Healthspan

Dr. Rhonda Patrick speaks with

Ray Cronise, a former NASA material scientist and cofounder of zero

gravity, a company that offers weightless parabolic flights to

consumers and researchers. In this episode, coming at the tail end

of a rather extreme 23-day water fast for Ray, we discuss, perhaps

unsurprisingly, some of the benefits that are associated with

fasting! Ray talks about

shifting one's perspective from looking at nutrition only through

the lens of meeting day-to-day nutritional needs, and instead, also

considering optimizing metabolism for longer-term effects as

well, the importance of

thinking about longevity in the context of functional healthspan,

some of the similarities between the body’s physiological response

to heat stress, cold stress, and exercise and so much

more.
