Intermittent Fasting and Longevity: Why Caloric Restriction is Key – Matt Kaeberlein, PhD

In this video, Matt Kaeberlein explains that research indicates intermittent fasting primarily aids in weight loss and weight maintenance. Regarding longevity and healthspan, it has no significant effect unless combined with caloric restriction.

Matt Kaeberlein is a biologist and biogerontologist renowned for his research on the mechanisms of aging. His work focuses on understanding the biological processes that drive aging and identifying ways to promote healthy aging and longevity. Kaeberlein is particularly noted for his research on evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of aging, which are fundamental biological processes shared across different species that influence aging and lifespan.

He serves as the Chief Executive Officer at Optispan, Inc., and holds a position as an Affiliate Professor. Kaeberlein has also contributed to the scientific community through his advisory roles and participation in various longevity and healthy aging research initiatives.

in many cases if you eat only when you are hungry and not because it is time to eat breakfast lunch or dinner then it leads to Intermittent fasting. And if you are able to lower your fasting insulin and fix your hunger hormones then it may lead to calorie restriction naturally. You don’t need studies on others to know if it works or not. Do the study on yourself and find out!
