About this listen
Enter autophagy, an ancient mechanism built into our cells that eliminates toxic materials, initiates fat-burning, and protects cells against stress. Best-known for being triggered by intermittent fasting, the complex process not only slows down the ageing process, but optimises biological function as a whole, staving off all manner of disease - from diabetes to dementia - and affording us the healthy lifespan we never thought possible.
So how can we activate autophagy? It’s as simple as flipping a switch. The Switch unpacks the revolutionary research on the body's natural process for maintaining health and youthfulness, as well as the “dial” that controls it. Backed by a synthesis of the data, and with a foreword by renowned Harvard geneticists Drs. George Church and David Sinclair, The Switch not only decodes the science of autophagy, but also teaches readers how to control it and benefit from its profound impact.

Ignores using well known populations that already fast and eat low protein diets (many Muslim populations are vegetarian but still have issues with diabetes, cancer etc) but don't live long, and instead uses weird comparisons, such as a long living whale to illustrate the benefits of eating omega 3...
There's prob a lot that is good for you here (won't argue that a diet high in veggies and fish with exercise is great), and I'm sure intermittent fasting had benefits, but it largely ignores human behaviour and what is sustainable, and only devotes about two pages to the "diet" (less than is devoted to talking about the author, how he's "read" a lot about this, was early to map his own genome - so what? - and therefore we should ignore the lack of doctorate) - and this dietary approach is a long list of what not to do or eat (no grains, no sugars, no alcohol, very little animal protein, very low carb), with very little on the "permitted" list (green veggies, omega 3 and macadamia nuts apparently).
Not one of the better books on health I've read - instead would recommend "Why we eat (too much)"
TLDR: eat pescatarian/vegan/keto to live forever
