The dream of staying youthful is as old as mankind, yet few progresses have been made in gerontology, the science of aging. Yet since the 1930s a dietary intervention has been increasing the lifespan of several lab species.
Learn what calorie restriction with optimal nutrition (CRON) is, why it may prolong your healthspan and lifespan and master the basics to practice it in a safe and rational manner.
At the end of this online course, you will:

Your Instructor
Hey, thank you for stopping by,
I am a physician specializing in what some view the saddest part of medicine, while I see it as the one with most potential. I care for elderly people and I study aging (in other words, I specialize in geriatrics and gerontology).
Aging is a natural disease which will affect us all if we'll survive long enough, which gets easier and easier these days. At the same time, science and public health are making huge leaps in prolonging our lifespans, as long as we pay attention to these news and actually apply the information in our lives.
I often publish practical life extension and gerontology articles on my blog Longevity Letter, so when I found out about Udemy, I created an account here to reach you, my fellow reader, with easy to comprehend and practical courses.
Check out my book "Eat Less, Live Longer: Your Practical Guide to Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition" on Amazon!
