What is Intermittent Living?

A unique program in which life itself becomes the medicine against aging and its consequences. Longevity is no more than the capacity of rejuvenation and that is what we offer you; ‘Going back to the future’.

Intermittent Living is a strategy that recreates the ancient hunter-collector living conditions to which our immune system and metabolism are truly adapted, in a controlled environment.

Our research-backed methodology restores a dynamic balance, the perfect tonic for the stressors of modern life.

/ Deep learning
Each of the Intermittent Living strategies and concepts will be explained in depth. Deep knowledge and understanding of the mechanisms by the individual/person facilitates positive health effects throughout the body.
