A story from “Fasting and the Longevity Revolution” - Documentary by Academy Award Nominees Barry Alexander Brown (Director), Edward Norton (Narrator), and Chiara Tilesi (Producer). Inspired by Dr. Valter Longo’s research and books.
After discovering a lump and being diagnosed with aggressive triple-negative breast cancer, Nora Quinn began a course of radiation and chemotherapy. Shortly before starting chemotherapy, she came across Professor Valter Longo’s research through a Los Angeles Times article highlighting his work, particularly in the field of fasting. She decided to reach out to him.
More than a decade later, Nora reports that she has shown no evidence of breast cancer recurrence or any other form of cancer.
Her story highlights the potential role of nutrition and fasting-based approaches as integrative therapies to support the standard of care in cancer treatment.
“Fasting and the Longevity Revolution” examines the science of fasting, nutrition, longevity, and metabolic health through patient experiences, scientific research, and expert perspectives.
