Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses intermittent fasting, specifically addressing whether skipping morning coffee affects metabolism. She explains different approaches to intermittent fasting, including Bulletproof Coffee and time-restricted eating (TRE). Leyla also delves into a study on the effectiveness of TRE in weight loss and cardiometabolic health, highlighting that eating within a specific time window (7am-3pm) led to greater weight loss and improved mood compared to a broader eating period. She emphasizes the importance of a minimum nightly fast of 12 hours for autophagy and overall health benefits.

Give the gift of healthy chocolate!

If you have a sweet tooth like me, the holiday season can be full of temptation.

Thankfully, FlavaNaturals’ line of products ensures chocolate lovers like me can obtain the full health benefits of cocoa flavanols along with great taste—all with less fat and sugar!

Cocoa is one of the most thoroughly-investigated functional foods on the planet. That’s why I take plentiful, flavanol-rich cocoa supplementation daily and have long recommended it to my patients and audience. But just taking any store-bought dark chocolate won’t deliver its benefits; FlavaNaturals cocoa products contain 5-9 times the beneficial flavanols of typical dark chocolate. I throw some powder in with my decaf or a smoothie, and even use it to make chia chocolate pudding!

Right now, FlavaNaturals is offering special holiday savings for my audience: Save 20% through December 19th with code HOFFMAN20
