In this Research Rundown we discuss fasting more in depth, and reference reading material that has been put out by Human Health Services on the mobile app, LifeApp. This is a very informative read if you want to know more about what happens during a zero calorie fast,...
In this Research Rundown we continue to focus on the importance of fasting to stimulate the body's immune response to eliminate malignant tumors. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is not mentioned in this study, but as seen in last week's episode - Episode 14 - research does...
In this Research Rundown we focus on a study out of Turkey that uses Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and fasting, combined with chemotherapy, to aid in the protection of good celluar activity for increased survival outcomes of Advanced Gastric Cancer. Highlights: The study...
If you have been practicing intermittent fasting for a while, you might have heard that autophagy is one of its many benefits. But what is it and why is it important for your health? What is it? Autophagy is a vital process our cells do for keeping themselves working...
In 2019, a group of LifeOmic employees voluntarily did a modified fast of 90 to 120 hours for National Fasting February. For more than a year we had been researching and reading the scientific literature on the mechanisms of prolonged water fasting and its potential...

In a recent study published in Cancer Cell, researchers in Colorado found that leukemia cells may hijack glucose metabolism to soak up as much energy as they need to rapidly grow and divide. In doing so, they also deprive healthy tissues of glucose. Leukemia cells...
Abstract Ketone bodies (KBs), comprising β-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate and acetone, are a set of fuel molecules serving as an alternative energy source to glucose. KBs are mainly produced by the liver from fatty acids during periods of fasting, and prolonged or...
Abstract The important role of GH in the control of mammalian longevity was first deduced from extended longevity of mice with genetic GH deficiency (GHD) or GH resistance. Mice with isolated GHD (IGHD) due to GHRH or GHRH receptor mutations, combined deficiency of...
Abstract Accumulation of dysfunctional and damaged cellular proteins and organelles occurs during aging, resulting in a disruption of cellular homeostasis and progressive degeneration and increases the risk of cell death. Moderating the accrual of these defunct...
