Can food really heal?
There are too many first-hand accounts (not to mention scientific research) to deny the healing power of food.
What you eat matters. What you eat has a profound impact on your overall health.
Brandy Aceti joins us today to selflessly share her personal experience in the hopes it can encourage you to seek out the healing power of food in your life.
Brandy is a corporate professional who has become an ambassador for healthy, plant-based eating after making changes to her diet which aided in the rapid recovery of her advanced autoimmune disease. She shares her personal experience with combating Lupus Nephritis using a whole food, plant-based lifestyle, and the role nutrition plays in reducing inflammation and managing chronic diseases. She is a strong believer in being an advocate of your own health and healing the body by eliminating foods that can cause illness and fill it with foods that heal.

Do you know what the vast benefits of fasting are?
What is the difference between intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting?
Is fasting even good for you?
What are the secrets of a long healthy life?
What can I do today to impact the length and quality of my life?
Dr. Joseph Antoun joins us and sets the record straight on fasting. Dr. Antoun shares his vast expertise and breaks it down into simple ways for us to picture and understand how our body responds to fasting and the amazing benefits that fasting provides to the body.
But who is Dr. Antoun? I mention in the show that Dr. Antoun has an impressive pedigree.
Dr. Joseph Antoun is CEO & Chairman of the Board of L-Nutra and Member of the Forbes Business Development Council. He's the former CEO of Health Systems Reform, a boutique consultancy aimed at improving public health by reforming health systems, management, and delivery.
Prior to that, he was Director of Health Policy at the University of Chicago, Editor in Chief of the Journal of Health Systems and Reform and head of Business Development for Eli Lilly & Co. He completed his studies in Public Policy at Harvard University, in Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, and his Doctorate in Medicine and Masters’ in Medical and Biological Sciences at Saint Joseph University.
Dr. Antoun always knew he wanted to help others through medicine, which is why he trained to be a physician. He figured out that medicine was actually sick care, treating patients after their health had already declined. Dr. Antoun wanted to be at the forefront of changing our current healthcare system of sick care to a more proactive approach, which meant taking care of our existing good health. After years of working at pharmaceutical companies and, later, focusing on public health policy he found what he was searching for at L-Nutra, Inc., a cutting-edge nutri-technology company.
As CEO of L-Nutra, Dr. Antoun works with one of the leading global researchers in the area of longevity – Professor Valter Longo, Director of the Longevity Center at USC. Together they provide education and products to support a lifestyle that extends healthspan.
Take a listen to this fascinating and enlightening conversation!
**Some notes from my post-interview conversation with Dr. Antoun:
I shared that fasting clearly has benefits because it is commanded by God in the Bible to the Israelites. Dr. Antoun responded that the word "fasting" is the only common word in all the world religions. I find that fascinating!
To clarify, Dr. Antoun does not recommend water-only fasting. The beauty of the Fasting-Mimicking Diet is that one gains the benefits of fasting but is able to sustain the body by giving nutrients through food.
Dr. Antoun graciously offered a dicsount on the Prolon Box to our audience. To get details and to connect with L-Nutra and get more info, see all the links below.
