While often associated with children, adults are not immune to screen time addiction, with research demonstrating many adults using screens as an escape from reality.

Dr. Veronique Chachay, Lecturer and Research Academic, shares the history and metabolic benefits of intermittent fasting, calorie restriction and time restricted eating and the challenges associated with studying these protocols with our ambassador, Dr. Michelle Woolhouse in our latest podcast replay. Veronique elaborates on the various forms of intermittent fasting and their role in both metabolism and weight management and how eating within a certain time of day may support the function of specific organs based on chrononutrition. Intermittent fasting has been associated with a reduction in insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) production, suggesting a benefit for healthy ageing and a reduction in insulin resistance and the production of ketone bodies associated with the use of stored fats for energy. Michelle and Veronique cover these topics in addition to the potential for personalised nutrition and the adoption of intermittent fasting to suit a persons genotype.
