Hello and welcome. You are listening to Sigma Nutrition Radio. I am Danny Lennon,

0:20.2

and this is episode 356 of the podcast.

0:23.6

Thank you to everyone who has had such nice things to say about our last episode where we discussed time restricted eating most predominantly.

0:33.6

And we focused in on a recent research paper that garnered a lot of attention in the area

0:39.2

and gave a bit of context and details surrounding that I think a lot of you seem to have found

0:45.8

very useful and informative and liked how that episode went. So thank you for both the kind

0:52.0

words and for sharing the episode around so widely

0:56.5

that very much helps the podcast. And it's also good to see that some of the effort that

goes into some of these episodes gets rewarded. So thank you very much for that. And thank you for

Kaleova, who is both a medical doctor and a prolific researcher, who has published in a number

1:42.4

were ingested and potential benefits that actually relate

1:47.2

to some of our previous discussions on time restricted eating, particularly now with more

1:52.7

research looking at early time restricted feeding models. Some of her meal timing and meal

1:57.4

frequency work relates to that, as we'll hopefully discuss. So some really interesting

2:01.9

areas, for example, in some of her work on plant-based diets, she was involved with analyzing the data

2:08.6

of the Adventist Health Study 2, which we have referenced before in some of our episodes on

2:15.4

vegan diets and have been broadly talked about as well. She's also
