ADVICE

Flexible Time-Restricted Eating Works

  • Delay breakfast or compress your eating window to promote ketosis and metabolic health.
  • Eat when it fits you: a morning eater can do a 6-hour window starting early and still get benefits.
ANECDOTE

Patient Who Thrived Eating Breakfast Early

  • Dr. Gundry described a patient who shifted his eating window earlier and reversed insulin resistance and low testosterone.
  • The patient's blood work became the best it's ever been after compressing his eating window while eating breakfast early.
INSIGHT

Ancestral Timing Supports Later Breakfasts

  • Evolutionarily, humans often didn't eat until mid-morning, so later breakfasts can align with biology.
  • Many hunter-gatherer groups typically don't eat until 10–11am when they find food.
