In this episode, I discuss the work of Dr. Mark Mattson and Rafael De Cobo, who published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine in December 26, 2019.  Dr. Mattson works at John Hopkins University and The New England Journal of Medicine is one the most prestigious journals in the world.  They cover the benefits in terms of intermittent fasting including cognitive performance, muscle growth, reversing Type 2 diabetes, reducing blood pressure, and most surprisingly, reversing the aging process.  Amazing benefits that can be achieved simply by changing when you eat and giving your body an opportunity to rest from food.

It sounds too good to be true, but 18 months into fasting, I have directly experienced most, if not all, of the benefits of fasting.

I also then provide my own medical information relating to improvements that I have experienced, including my "metabolic age" before fasting and now.  

This one was a fun one to do.  I haven't been able to do many RockneCasts lately, but will be doing many more soon.  Thanks for tuning in!!
