Summary
Dogs are being used to understand the process of aging which is difficult to study in humans. The study aims to determine if drugs that prolong a dog's health and lifespan can be developed into drugs that can be used on humans.

The benefits of fasting-mimicking diets have been extensively studied in mice, leading to a range of potential benefits including improved metabolism, reduced inflammation and even increased lifespan.
35:53 - 36:21 (00:28)
Summary
The benefits of fasting-mimicking diets have been extensively studied in mice, leading to a range of potential benefits including improved metabolism, reduced inflammation and even increased lifespan. However, some critics have suggested that these benefits may not translate into humans, and that further clinical studies are needed to fully understand the effects of FMDs on the human body.
