Fasting, calorie restriction, and metabolic health: what the science says

from The Wellness Rhythm Show

Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park break down what fasting and calorie restriction actually do to your metabolism—drawing on research from the CALERIE trial and work by scientists like Dr. Satchin Panda—and challenge the idea that eating less is about deprivation. Listeners will learn that simply compressing your eating window to twelve hours can shift metabolic markers without dramatic restriction, why the timing of food matters as much as the amount, and how to start with a realistic first step rather than an extreme protocol.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show:  ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow  📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com  Powered by VoxCrea.AI
