AHS16 - Ancestral Health Symposium 2016

Studies of hunter gathers showed diseases of aging was rare among the elderly. Most attribute their health to a Paleolithic diet. Recent research indicates that their meal frequency may be just as important to their health. It is my contention, during long the periods without food, the body initiates eight repair processes that make the hunter stronger, faster, and sharper. Repair processes that evolution created to insure the survival of the human species. Research in the last 20 years, especially in Japan, document the science behind these eight fasting repair processes. I will present this science and my prolonged fasting experiences to show how it can be used to increase your healthspan.
