Episode notes

Time-restricted eating increases genes associated with autophagy. It also up-regulates a particular gene called CERT1, which is famous for being known as the longevity gene. And we just got funded to do a large study to see if intermittent fasting is as effective or can be effective for slowing the aging process in humans.

Episode #232. Time-restricted eating seems like a holy grail for those looking to lose weight and improve their health. Dr Peterson joins me in this episode to answer some pressing questions on TRE: does it help you lose weight and shred fat? Will it curb my appetite? What times should shift workers eat? These questions and much more are covered in Episode #232.
