Integrating Intermittent Fasting into Nutritional Protocols

Assess blood marker improvements from fasting. Differentiate between the fasting modalities. Employ functional nutrition protocols that work in synergy with fasting, and more. Dr Robert Silverman breaks down fasting for practitioners from the latest research and an eye on the safety aspects.

Integrating Intermittent Fasting into Nutritional Protocols

In the context of a Functional approach to dementia, Dr Silverman will be showing practitioners how to implement intermittent fasting protocols into nutritional protocols, he’ll be bringing the latest science and functional protocols on fasting for those who want to implement it safely.

*IMO it should be said, one functional approach, as the British were getting reversal 20 years ago in dementia without this latest trend in fasting.

Speaker: Robert G. Silverman, DC, DACBN, DCBCN, MS, CCN, CNS, CSCS, CIISN, CKTP, CES, HKC, SASTM

Description

Fasting is an age-old spiritual practice, but today we know it can have significant, even transforming health benefits. Robust and ongoing research reveals how fasting can help activate stem cells, reduce and improve chronic disease, and lead to healthy longevity with a lowered risk of neuroinflammation and dementia.

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 grasp the complex science behind safe and effective fasting and the specific benefits for healthy aging and the brain.

This presentation will guide participants through the scientific basics, explain the different fasting modalities, and help them integrate fasting into their nutritional protocols for older patients for Monday-morning application.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize fasting has significant health benefits.
  • Explain the benefits of fasting for healthy aging and brain health.
  • Summarize the basic science behind safe and effective fasting.
  • Assess blood marker improvements from fasting.
  • Differentiate between the fasting modalities.
  • Employ functional nutrition protocols that work in synergy with fasting.

Key Takeaways

  1. The common intermittent fasting modalities (5:2 or 16:8) are safe and relatively easy to implement, even for older patients.
  2. Intermittent fasting can slow and even improve cognitive decline by downregulating inflammatory responses and improving synaptic plasticity.
  3. Intermittent fasting helps reduce neuroinflammation by lowering levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the brain.
  4. Endothelial dysfunction and impaired blood-brain barrier function may be improved by intermittent fasting while also reducing cardiovascular disease risk.
  5. Intermittent fasting enhances hippocampal neurogenesis and reduces brain damage by generating new neurons in response to oxidative stress.
  6. Insulin sensitivity in neurons and glucose metabolism in the brain is improved by intermittent fasting.
