Share
Today we speak with Néstor Sánchez, one of Spain's leading experts in the study of autophagy and anti-aging medicine, as well as the author of the book Intermittent Fasting. In addition to being the founder of Regenera, a clinic for training and treating patients using clinical psychoneuroimmunology, and co-founder of Mammoth Hunters, he is a lifelong researcher who excels as a speaker and social media communicator thanks to his ability to explain complex concepts in a simple way.
We talk about:
- Aging: causes that make us age and whether we can influence them to slow them down.
- Is aging just another disease? Is there a cure?
- Autophagy: What it is and what role it plays in aging. Strategies to boost it.
- Daily 12-hour fasting vs. extended 48- to 72-hour fasts.
- Effectiveness of drugs, such as metformin, in boosting autophagy.
