Integrating Fasting into Nutritional Protocols: A Functional Medicine Approach 2224

Dr. Robert G. Silverman

Fasting is an age-old spiritual practice, but today we know it can have significant, even transforming, health benefits.  Robust and ongoing research is revealing how fasting can help activate stem cells, reduce and improve chronic disease, and lead to healthy longevity. The benefits of fasting have now entered the mainstream of public interest, which means practitioners are being asked about how to do it safely, effectively, and with minimal disruption to daily life. Practitioners now have the opportunity to help their patients by providing guidance and countering the misinformation and myths around fasting. To best help their patients, practitioners need to have a thorough grasp of the complex science behind safe and effective fasting. This session will guide participants through the scientific basics, explain the different fasting modalities, and help them integrate fasting into their nutritional protocols.
