🔬 Can food rejuvenate you from within?

In this special episode of LEVITY, Peter talks with Andrea Ghirardi, CEO of L-Nutra Europe — the company behind Prolon, the fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) developed from Dr. Valter Longo’s research.

🧠 We cover:

– How Prolon mimics fasting without starvation.

– Real-world results: 2.5 years bio-age reversal.

– Why FMD may beat GLP-1 drugs for long-term health.

– What’s inside the new NextGen kit.

– Prolon’s potential as a medical treatment.
