Calorie Restricted Diets and Anti-Aging – Dr. Jacob Mey

What if you could make a small change that would help you extend your life a little longer? Like, who doesn’t want to live longer as I know I want to live forever if I could.  

What if cutting your calories by just 10% could add another 5 years to your life? In this podcast we speak with Dr. Jacob Mey from the prestigious Pennington Biomedical Research Center on the impact Calorie Restricted Diets have on slowing down the aging process. We also explore the sustainability of these types of diets and what’s in store with future research.       

         During our interview we talk about the research that has been conducted on various species such as flies and mice and how that may translate into human data.
