ENCORE: The Benefits—and Limitations—of Intermittent Fasting, Part 1

Podcast
In recognition of my collaboration on a review article, "Recommending Intermittent Fasting," in the "Natural Medicine Journal" with its publisher, Karolyn Gazella, I invited her on to share our research on the benefits—and limitations—of intermittent fasting, and specifically time restricted feeding (TRF). Reducing your eating window to just 8 or 10 hours a day may aid weight loss, but it does so much more: TRF has been demonstrated to reboot metabolism, provide some of the benefits of a keto diet, promote autophagy and cellular resilience, with disease-fighting and anti-aging potential. We discuss its application to metabolic syndrome and diabetes, cognitive enhancement, as an adjunct to cancer therapy, for cardiovascular prevention, as well as for inflammatory disorders. How best to implement TRF; when TRF might not be suitable; why exercise + TRF might be synergistic. Click HERE for part 2.

Leyla Weighs In: Exercise as a Drug-Free Longevity Pill

featured product

In my 40-year history in medicine, I’ve never endorsed a weight-loss product, because most don’t deliver—until now.

The science behind Calocurb and its active ingredient, Amarasate®, is so compelling that I can support it as a plausible alternative for curbing appetite and enhancing satiety to help you shed pounds.

Calocurb works by activating your body’s own appetite-regulating chemical messengers, including GLP-1, which signal specific areas of the brain to effectively manage hunger. It’s safe and effective, with no chemicals, synthetics, or caffeine—and it doesn’t cause jitters.

For a limited time, you can get 10% off your order by using code DH10.
