Summary

In Episode #204, I’m joined by leading researchers Dr Emily Manoogian and Dr Courtney Peterson. Drs Emily and Courtney both research the way food timing interacts with the body, focusing on time-restricted eating (TRE). In this episode, we approach the topic with a key question: is there any advantage of time-restricted eating other than helping people eat fewer calories to achieve a healthy body weight? You’ll learn the specifics of what TRE is, the purported benefits, what we know, and what we’re yet to discover. We also discuss the work of Drs Emily and Courtney, and comment on the recent study from China that is making waves. Specifically, we cover: Intro (0:00) Debate of Fasting Benefits (2:11) Fasting Defined (6:20) Circadian Rhythm & Meal Timing (17:26) History of TRE Studies (25:32) Calorie Restriction vs TRE (46:29) Debunking Trials that DIDN’T work (58:27) Cancer (1:25:40) Aging (1:31:56) Women’s Health & Lean Muscle (1:35:37) Optimal Eating Windows (1:41:55) Training & Breaking the Fast (1:48:36) Shift Workers (1:55:15) Longevity & Protein (2:02:13) Outro (2:04:33) You can learn more about Dr Courtney Peterson here.
