A new study finds timing of eating without a change in actual food quality improves health and longevity by way of the circadian clock
We dive into the details about a new study, adding to the growing body of evidence, that metabolism, circadian rhythms and longevity enhancement processes (e.g., autophagy) are connected and impossible to disentangle.
About this Show:
A new TRF study discovered how the feeding/fasting practice supports longevity. It does it by enhancing autophagy through prolonged overnight fasting.This suggests that a feeding and fasting plan should take into consideration meal timing so as to optimize circadian rhythms; that is, feed during the day and fast at night.

Hey! I don’t see the research article cited that you mentioned in your last podcast on fasting and TRF with your circadian clock… could you please share that? Thanks!!
Hey Mike,
Great episode! Is there a link for the studies you mention in this episode? Thanks
