Intermittent Fasting & Brain Health

In this podcast episode, I share the simple yet powerful tool of intermittent fasting. Here, I discuss:

- The types of intermittent fasting with a focus on “time-restricted eating,” in which fasting is extended to 12-16 hours a day (from the more typical 8-10 hours).

- Why it makes good sense from an evolutionary standpoint.

- What it has to teach us about our metabolism and our brain’s use of energy.

- The health conditions it is has been shown to be beneficial for.

- The main mechanism by which it impacts the brain.

- My experience with intermittent fasting.

- When fasting can become problematic.
