“The researchers followed mostly male participants with abdominal obesity or abnormal blood lipid levels from two earlier 18-month randomized lifestyle intervention trials designed to promote moderate weight loss through diet and physical activity.”

“Participants did not have diabetes, and each completed separate daytime and nighttime testing visits after 12 hours of fasting. Researchers measured insulin sensitivity using the gold-standard hyperinsulinemic–euglycemic clamp and also assessed sugar production and use as well as fat metabolism.”

“This ~1-hour long podcast covers effects on mood, vigilance, inflammation & the immune system, metabolism, athletic performance, recovery, and more.”

“The global incidence of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases has increased markedly in recent decades, largely attributable to widespread adoption of Western dietary and lifestyle patterns that are in stark contrast to ancestral patterns – a phenomenon referred to as the mismatch hypothesis.”

“Circadian rhythms modulate a wide array of the body's physiological processes, including the production of hormones that regulate sleep, hunger, metabolism, and others, ultimately influencing body weight, performance, and susceptibility to disease.”

“Fasting-based approaches had a slight edge in short-term weight and fat loss—about 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) more than calorie restriction—but both approaches had similar effects on lean body mass, waist and hip circumference, blood pressure, lipid levels, and glucose metabolism.”

“Cooling the body slows down all metabolic processes (similar to that which occurs during hibernation) and this may slow the aging process.”

“These results align with emerging interest in "metabolic psychiatry", which views mood disorders not only as neurochemical conditions but also as shaped by energy balance, inflammation, and brain metabolism.”

“BPA and phthalates can interfere with thyroid hormone receptors, disrupting T3 and T4 levels, which are crucial for energy, metabolism, and cognitive function. The result? Symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and cognitive impairment due to hormone imbalances.”

“Nutrition experts established this guideline several decades ago, based on evidence from nitrogen balance studies – assessments of the net balance of protein metabolism in the body drawn from estimates of nitrogen losses that occur via urine, feces, sweat, and other means.”
