00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.004
>> INTERMITTENT FASTING IS A
HEALTH LIFESTYLE THAT HAS
QUICKLY GAINED A LARGE
FOLLOWING, AND

2
00:00:05.004 --> 00:00:12.445
INDIANAPOLIS-BASED STARTUP
LIFEOMIC HAS CREATED AN APP TO
HELP PEOPLE ADOPT THE PRACTICE.
ALTHOUGH THE APP IS ONLY ABOUT

3
00:00:12.445 --> 00:00:17.650
SIX MONTHS OLD, BUSINESS OF
HEALTH REPORTER KYLIE VELETA
TELLS US IT'S SEEING SWIFT
SUCCESS.

4
00:00:17.650 --> 00:00:24.157
KYLIE.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, GERRY.
THE APP, CALLED LIFE FASTING
TRACKER HAS ALREADY SURPASSED

5
00:00:24.157 --> 00:00:30.330
300,000 DOWNLOADS.
IT'S AN IMPRESSIVE NUMBER, BUT
PERHAPS NOT SURPRISING, AS IT'S
THE BRAINCHILD OF SERIAL

6
00:00:30.330 --> 00:00:35.402
ENTREPRENEUR AND INDIANA TECH
GIANT DR. DON BROWN.
HE JOINS ME NOW TO TELL US MORE
ABOUT HIS LATEST VENTURE IN

7
00:00:35.402 --> 00:00:37.437
LIFEOMIC.
THANK YOU FOR COMING TO THE
SHOW.
>> MY PLEASURE.

8
00:00:37.437 --> 00:00:42.575
>> YOU'RE ALSO A MEDICAL DOCTOR.
>> YES.
>> IN ADDITION TO BEING A TECH
GIANT HERE IN INDIANAPOLIS.

9
00:00:42.575 --> 00:00:51.084
SO START WITH WHAT IS
INTERMITTENT FASTING AND WHY IS
IT SO POPULAR RIGHT NOW?
>> WELL JUST BRIEFLY, WE'VE

10
00:00:51.084 --> 00:01:00.427
KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME THAT
SEVERE CALORIC RESTRICTION,
EATING VERY LITTLE, IMPROVES
PEOPLE'S LIFESPANS AND MAKES

11
00:01:00.427 --> 00:01:11.638
THEM HEALTHIER.
THIS WAS DISCOVERED BACK IN THE
90s, THERE'S EVEN A SOCIETY OF
PEOPLE WHO TRY TO GET BY ON 120.

12
00:01:11.638 --> 00:01:19.078
AND THERE'S NO DOUBT, THEY'RE
HEALTHY, THEY LIVE LONGER, BUT
THEY'RE NOT VERY HAPPY PEOPLE.
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T HAVE BEER,

13
00:01:19.078 --> 00:01:24.317
THEY CAN'T HAVE PIZZA, THEY
CAN'T HAVE THE THINGS THAT WE
ENJOY.
I WAS GOING THROUGH YOU A

14
00:01:24.317 --> 00:01:31.591
GRADUATE PROGRAM IN
BIOTECHNOLOGY AT JOHNS HOPKINS
ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, AND
STUMBLED ON TO SOME PAPERS ABOUT

15
00:01:31.591 --> 00:01:40.900
INTERMITTENT FASTING, AND
SHOWING, PROVING, REALLY, AT A
VERY DETAILED MOLECULAR LEVEL
THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DENY

16
00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:50.510
OURSELVES AND TRY TO LIVE ON
1200-CALORIES A DAY BUT RATHER
WE CAN STAR OF
CAN STARVES

17
00:01:50.510 --> 00:01:54.414
INTERMITTENTLY FOR A FEW HOURS A
DAY.
>> IT'S GETTING A LOT OF
ATTENTION FOR LOSING WEIGHT BUT

18
00:01:54.414 --> 00:01:59.252
IT'S NOT JUST FOR LOSING WEIGHT.
>> NOT AT ALL.
THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF HEALTH
BENEFITS.

19
00:01:59.252 --> 00:02:07.660
CERTAINLY FOR ME, MY MOTIVATION
WASN'T LOSING WEIGHT BUT RATHER
EXTENDING MY HEALTHY LIFESPAN
AND HOPEFULLY REDUCING MY RISK

20
00:02:07.660 --> 00:02:14.033
OF GETTING DISEASES LIKE
ALZHEIMER'S OR THE PARKINSON'S
THAT I SAW MY MOTHER DIE.
>> SO HOW ARE PEOPLE USING THE

21
00:02:14.033 --> 00:02:21.474
APP ON A DAILY BASIS, JUST A
QUICK INTRODUCTION?
>> WELL, THEY'RE USING TO TRACK
THEIR FAST.

22
00:02:21.474 --> 00:02:30.383
WE BUILT A CLOUD PLATFORM THAT
WE USE AT U. SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
FOR A NUMBER OF CANCER TEAMS AND
WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO

23
00:02:30.383 --> 00:02:37.590
HAVE -- AND USEFUL TO HAVE A
MOBILE APP THAT COULD TIE TO
THAT CLOUD PLATFORM AND PROVIDE
SOME SCALABILITY TEST.

24
00:02:37.590 --> 00:02:44.597
I HAD OUR MOBILE TEAM BUILD A
LITTLE FASTING TRACKER THAT LETS
YOU CLICK TO START OR STOP THE
TIME OF A FAST, SHARE THE

25
00:02:44.597 --> 00:02:52.672
INFORMATION WITH FAMILY MEMBERS,
AND IT JUST TOOK OFF.
WE THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE A
COUPLE THOUSAND PEOPLE USING IT.

26
00:02:52.672 --> 00:02:58.845
THIS WEEK WE PASSED 350,000
PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.
>> THAT'S FASCINATING.
TALK A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE

27
00:02:58.845 --> 00:03:04.150
CONNECTION WITH I.U. SCHOOL OF
MEDICINE.
BROADLY, THE BIGGER PICTURE FOR
LIFEOMIC AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

28
00:03:04.150 --> 00:03:14.193
>> YEAH, THE REAL WORK OF THE
COMPANY IS TO CREATE A CLOUD
PLATFORM BECAUSE IN HEALTHCARE,
WE'RE GENERATING UNBELIEVABLE

29
00:03:14.193 --> 00:03:22.969
AMOUNTS OF INFORMATION FROM
ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS DNA
SEQUENCING, ALL THESE BIG DATA
SOURCES, AND THE HEALTHCARE

30
00:03:22.969 --> 00:03:33.846
ESTABLISH MENT IS HAVING TROUBLE
STORING THAT INFORMATION AND
THEN DEVELOPING INSIGHTS FROM IT
THAT WOULD HELP PATIENT CARE.

31
00:03:33.846 --> 00:03:43.022
SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING AS PART OF
I.U.'S GRAND CHALLENGE, THEIR
PHI, TO HELP SEVERAL DISEASE
TEAMS INCLUDING A BREAST CANCER

32
00:03:43.022 --> 00:03:51.631
TEAM ACTIVELY LOADING UP
INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR SUBJECTS
AND THEN USING OUR PLATFORM TO
ANALYZE IT AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT

33
00:03:51.631 --> 00:03:59.405
WHY IS IT THAT ONE WOMAN WILL
RESPOND WELL TO THERAPY AND LIVE
A NORMAL LIFE, AND ANOTHER WILL
SUCCUMB TO THE ILLNESS

34
00:03:59.405 --> 00:04:00.840
RELATIVELY QUICKLY.
>> DR. DON, THANK YOU SO MUCH
