S11 EP28: Is Intermittent Fasting For You?

We know you are mindful of what is going in your body but have
you thought about when it goes in? And what’s your most important
meal of the day? We invited Dr. Courtney Peterson, a leading
expert on intermittent fasting (IF) to the podcast to discuss
time-restricted eating (TRE), a popular form of IF.  She
explains the health benefits of TRE, including weight loss, and
how it rejuvenates your body and potentially extends your
lifespan. You know we aren’t fans of fad diets. In this
episode, discover the science behind TRE and how it influences
circadian rhythm, metabolism, hormones, blood sugar, and blood
pressure levels. Dr. Peterson also addresses common questions
around breakfast, weight loss drugs, ideal eating windows, and
muscle mass, and she has recommendations for you!


(00:01:15) Welcome Dr. Courtney Peterson, internationally
recognized researcher in the field of intermittent fasting to the
podcast.


(00:05:30) Why Dr. Peterson has dedicated her career to the study
of how humans metabolize food.


(00:08:10) We aren’t fans of fad diets. IF explained and what
makes time-restricted eating different from a fad diet. 


(00:12:34) A closer look at TRE: the most popular approach to
IF..


(00:13:36) Study findings on metabolism, calorie restriction,
life extension and weight loss.


(00:18:00) Why people lose weight eating in an 8 hour window and
a comparison to weight loss drugs.


(00:21:24) IF doesn’t magically help you burn calories.


(00:29:14) A look at early TRE, circadian rhythm and the most
important meal of the day.


(00:37:15) How eating early can help with fertility and what to
do if you can’t eat early in the day. 


(00:44:20) Why what you eat matters more than when and who should
NOT fast. 


(00:48:32) Does IF have an effect on muscle mass, which is also a
key to longevity.


(00:56:20) Is it possible to sustain IF? There’s no one size fits
all.
