Stay tuned for three more videos on fasting and cancer:
• Fasting Before and After Chemotherapy and Radiation (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/fast...)
• Fasting Before and After Chemotherapy Put to the Test (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/fast...)
• Fasting-Mimicking Diet Before and After Chemotherapy (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/fast...)

What is the fasting-mimicking diet? I’ve got a video on that: The 5-2 Diet and the Fasting-Mimicking Diet Put to the Test (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-....

All of my videos on fasting can be found on this topic page (https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/fas..., or in the recordings of my fasting webinar series (https://drgreger.org/collections/vide....
