to eat or not to eat?: culinary medicine and intermittent fasting

Fall 2021

To eat or not to eat, that is the question. As a strong believer of “let food by thy medicine,” Madhu D. Hardasmalani, MD of the Keck School of Medicine advocates using food as a method of mind-body healing and resilience building. Contrastingly, Valter Longo, PhD of the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology runs a lab dedicated to the science of intermittent fasting for longevity. Join us for an hour of riveting presentations and discussion between Madhu D. Hardasmalani, MD and Valter Longo, PhD moderated by IIHW’s Jeffrey I Gold, PhD.
