Dr. Rhonda Patrick speaks with
Ray Cronise, a former NASA material scientist and cofounder of zero
gravity, a company that offers weightless parabolic flights to
consumers and researchers. In this episode, coming at the tail end
of a rather extreme 23-day water fast for Ray, we discuss, perhaps
unsurprisingly, some of the benefits that are associated with
fasting! Ray talks about
shifting one's perspective from looking at nutrition only through
the lens of meeting day-to-day nutritional needs, and instead, also
considering optimizing metabolism for longer-term effects as
well, the importance of
thinking about longevity in the context of functional healthspan,
some of the similarities between the body’s physiological response
to heat stress, cold stress, and exercise and so much
more.

Finally, Ray also has a book
available for pre-order called "Our
Broken Plate."
