FASTING
The Autophagy Support Programme
A structured programme built around fasting support, nourishment timing, and intelligent recovery.
Overview
Autophagy — the cellular process by which damaged components are broken down and recycled — is one of the key biological mechanisms associated with healthy ageing and metabolic health. It is strongly upregulated by fasting, caloric restriction, and certain forms of exercise. The research around intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating has expanded significantly over the past decade, with meaningful evidence for metabolic, cognitive, and longevity-related outcomes.
The Autophagy Support Programme is built around clinical assessment first. Fasting is not appropriate for everyone, and the right protocol depends on individual metabolic health, medication status, history, and goals. We do not offer a generic fasting plan — we offer a supported, personalised approach that is designed around your biology.
IV and nutrient support can be integrated into the programme where clinically appropriate, to support the body during extended fasting windows and to ensure micronutrient sufficiency throughout the programme.

- Cognitive clarity and mental sharpness during adapted fasting
- Support for healthy weight management and body composition
- Long-term metabolic and longevity-associated outcomes
This Programme Includes
- Clinical assessment
- Time-restricted eating or fasting guidance
- Recovery planning
- Optional IV and nutrient support
Ideal for
Metabolic reset, longevity, disciplined lifestyle optimisation
What to Expect in Clinic
Your programme begins with a clinical consultation to review your metabolic health, current diet, relevant history, and goals. Your practitioner will then design a fasting or time-restricted eating protocol appropriate to your baseline — this may begin with a simple eating window and progress over weeks. Follow-up sessions review your response and adjust the approach. IV support sessions can be scheduled around fasting periods to support mineral and nutrient balance where indicated.
Who Should Speak to Us First
This programme may not be suitable for everyone in its standard form. If any of the following apply to you, please contact us before booking so we can discuss the right approach.
- Type 1 diabetes or insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes — medical supervision required
- History of disordered eating
- Underweight or recent significant unintentional weight loss
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Certain medications — particularly those requiring food; discuss with your clinician
- Active illness or recovery from surgery
