Reversing Biological Age

Hello Warriors!

We’re back with another empowering edition of the Suburban Warrior newsletter. Our latest episode dives into the fascinating world of biological age reversal and the science behind the Fasting Mimicking Diet. Below, you’ll find everything you need to know—from what Suburban Warrior is all about, to how you can apply the latest insights from our incredible guest, Renee Fitton.

Reversing Biological Age: The Power of Fasting Mimicking Diet with Guest Expert, Renee Fitton

In this episode, I welcome Renee Fitton, a registered dietitian who specializes in healthspan and longevity nutrition. Renee is the Director of Education and Healthcare Services at ProLon, a company that focuses on using cutting-edge nutritional research to improve cellular health, promote longevity, and support overall wellness.

Renee’s insight is backed by over 30 years of scientific research led by Dr. Valter Longo, a leading voice in fasting and aging. With her background in advanced nutritional science, Renee passionately explains why “fasting with food” can have powerful impacts on cellular repair, weight management, muscle protection, and healthy aging—especially for midlife women navigating perimenopause and postmenopause.

5 Key Takeaways

1. Fasting with Food Exists
   The Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) isn’t your standard water-only fast. Scientific research shows our cells can remain in a “fasted state” if nutrients are delivered in specific types and amounts. That means you can still eat while reaping the benefits of autophagy (cellular clean-up) and fat burning.

2. Cellular Repair & Autophagy
   When you follow a prolonged fast (generally 3-5 days), you activate deeper levels of cellular repair called autophagy. This process “cleans out” damaged proteins and cells, helping to reduce inflammation, improve metabolic function, and even positively impact your skin.

3. Muscle Protection for Midlife Women
   One big concern in perimenopause and postmenopause is rapid muscle loss. Unlike many restrictive diets, the Fasting Mimicking Diet promotes growth hormone release (protective for muscle) while still tapping into fat-burning. This balance helps maintain lean muscle mass and supports healthy aging.

4. Supports Healthy Metabolism & Blood Sugar
   Hormonal fluctuations in midlife often lead to unstable blood sugar and increased risk for insulin resistance. FMD has shown favorable effects on blood sugar management, giving women a possible tool to stay metabolically healthy without drastic dietary changes every day.

5. Sustainable & Easy to Follow
   ProLon’s 5-day kit takes guesswork out of fasting. It provides soups, bars, teas, and nutrient blends, so you’re supported through the entire five days. This structured approach reduces the stress and mental load of planning, helping you stick to the program and see real results—like enhanced mental clarity, energy, and that “keto euphoria” some people report after day 3.
