What if just five days could reset how you age?

Two-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker Barry Alexander Brown joins host Lisa Urbanski to unpack Fasting and the Longevity Revolution—shot from California to Ecuador and across Italy, inspired by Dr. Valter Longo and narrated by Edward Norton.

We dive into plant-forward daily habits, fasting practices, and the cultural shift toward healthy aging. Barry also teases his debut novel, Wind (U.S. release Sept 30, 2025), and the creative freedom that fiction brings.

You’ll learn (fast):

• 
  

  How fasting + mostly plant-based eating can support healthspan

  
  


• 
  

  The science foundations behind the film (and where to dig deeper)

  
  


• 
  

  Barry’s creative process from editing icons to directing docs to writing novels

  
  

Barry is also speaking on a panel about the film at the Nutrition & Longevity Festival (Cervia, Italy — Sept 14, 2025).

If this sparks you, follow, rate, and share—it helps more people find the show and live longer, stronger.
