<description>&lt;p&gt;This episode features a conversation with Melanie Murphy Richter, MS, RDN, who discusses the benefits and science behind the Prolon fasting program. Melanie explains the concept of fasting and its evolutionary benefits, emphasizing the role of autophagy—a cellular rejuvenation process activated by fasting. The discussion covers the Prolon fasting-mimicking diet (FMD), which allows for some food intake while still achieving fasting benefits. Melanie details the physiological changes during the five-day Prolon fast, including ketosis and autophagy, and stresses the importance of transitioning out of the fast carefully to maintain benefits. The episode also touches on the extensive research supporting Prolon's efficacy, including its impact on longevity and metabolic health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Product Discount Codes + Links&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;2025 Holistic Holiday Gift Guide: &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theaccrescent.com/2025-holistic-holiday-gift-guide/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Herbal Face Food: &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://the-accrescent-podcast.captivate.fm/hff" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt; (Discount Code: LAL30)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Prolon Fast-Mimicking Program: &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://the-accrescent-podcast.captivate.fm/prolon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt; (Discount Link Gives 25% off) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Healing Alchemy Membership: &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://the-accrescent-podcast.captivate.fm/alchemy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Learn More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Guest Info&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Melanie Murphy Richter - &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.melaniemurphyrd.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Melanie Murphy Richter - &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/healthnmellness/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Related Episodes&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Podcast Ep. 212: &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theaccrescent.com/podcast-ep-212-kim-ressler" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Kim Ressler - Revolutionizing Health: Custom Supplements Tailored to Your DNA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Podcast Ep. 192: &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theaccrescent.com/podcast-ep-192-keelia-ryan-sacred-plant-medicine-a-path-to-integration-healing-and-trauma-recovery" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Keelia Ryan - Sacred Plant Medicine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Work w/Leigh Ann&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Learn: &lt;a href="https://the-accrescent-podcast.captivate.fm/evox" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;What is EVOX Therapy?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Book: &lt;a href="https://the-accrescent-podcast.captivate.fm/schedule" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Schedule a Session or FREE Discovery Call&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Membership: &lt;a href="https://the-accrescent-podcast.captivate.fm/alchemy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;What is The Healing Alchemy Membership&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Connect w/Me &amp;amp; Learn More&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theaccrescent.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/leighannlindsey/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@theaccrescent?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Tiktok&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a...</description>
