“A study published by Dr. Andy Galpin and colleagues took well-trained people and did 8 weeks of strength training + high protein + excess calories—actively trying to gain muscle while doing TRE (trained fasted and fasting for at least 1 hour after training).”

“Time-restricted eating is a form of daily fasting that aligns eating and fasting cycles to the body’s innate 24-hour circadian system. People who practice time-restricted eating typically eat during an 8- to 12-hour daytime window and fast during the remaining 12 to 16 hours.”

“Women with type 2 diabetes have a 23% higher risk of developing breast cancer and a 38% higher risk of breast cancer mortality. Additionally, women with the highest quartile of fasting glucose levels have a 60% increased relative breast cancer risk compared to women in the lowest quartile.”

“In a randomized crossover study, eight trained men completed four days of daily cycling while eating either a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet (12 percent carbohydrate) or a normal-carbohydrate diet (62 percent carbohydrate).”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's interview with Dr. Ben Bikman, he describes how insulin resistance can be present while fasting glucose still appears normal. He focuses on changes after eating and on two visible findings, acanthosis nigricans and multiple skin tags, as possible reasons to look more closely at metabolic health.”

“Berberine has improved fasting glucose, post-meal glucose, and glycated hemoglobin in controlled trials involving people with type 2 diabetes. Reviews describe clinically useful metabolic effects while also noting differences in dose, product, treatment duration, and study quality.”

“Meal composition can also shape short-term metabolism. In a three-week crossover trial in 29 healthy young men, sugar-sweetened beverages changed fasting glucose, LDL particle patterns, and high-sensitivity CRP.”

“Mice that ate twice daily also exhibited increased expression of autophagy-related genes; browning of white adipose tissue (a phenomenon associated with improved metabolic function in mice); increased the expression of M2 macrophages, which exert anti-inflammatory properties; and improved aspects of metabolism.”

“The participants who reported consuming the shake more than 3 times per week and green tea 2 or more times per week had the greatest improvements in glucose control biomarkers (e.g., fasting glucose and HbA1c).”

“Low cellular energy levels – such as would occur during exercising, fasting, or caloric restriction – promote increased production of NAD+, driving sirtuin expression and subsequent activity.”
