And in fact, there\u2019s been really great research. Even if you don't change the timing of your meals, if you make breakfast and lunch the largest meals of the day and dinner the smallest meal of the day, you lose more weight. And not only do you lose more weight, you're actually less hungry.\u201d -Dr. Courtney Peterson  \u201cTalk about these time intervals. Why is 14 a magic number?\u201d -Jason Wrobel  \u201cTypically, it takes the body about 12 to 14 hours to burn through a lot of its glycogen stores. Initially after a meal, your body's gonna be burning a lot of carbohydrates\u2014so, glucose. It's gonna burn through a lot of the actual food in the meal, then it'll store some, burn others.\u201d -Dr. Courtney Peterson  \u201cAre there any scientifically reported benefits for hormone health, or managing cancer, with TRE?\u201d -Jason Wrobel  \u201cThe area of cancer is super fascinating. Valter Longo does a lot of work in both the realms of aging and longevity, and cancer. Many years ago, he and some collaborators discovered if you fast cells or animals with cancer prior to treating the cancer with chemotherapy and radiation, you could kill tumors far more effectively.\u201d -Dr. Courtney Peterson What if the timing of your meals mattered just as much as the food on your plate? In this episode, we\u2019re diving into the fascinating science of time-restricted eating with Dr. Courtney Peterson\u2014one of the world\u2019s leading researchers on how aligning our meals with the body\u2019s internal clock can transform our health. A Harvard-trained scientist and Associate Professor of Nutrition Sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Dr. Peterson was the first to test early time-restricted eating in humans, and her groundbreaking work is redefining how we think about metabolism, energy, and chronic disease. If you\u2019ve ever wondered if nourishment runs deeper than nutrients\u2014that your body might be seeking harmony\u2014then this episode will strike a chord. What we discuss in this episode: Different types of intermittent fasting: how they compare, and what benefits they offer. The science behind time-restricted eating (TRE). How TRE supports weight loss and appetite regulation. Fasting, aging, and the process of autophagy. The best time of day to consume the majority of your calories. How meal timing can influence fertility and reproductive health in women. Grazing vs. structured mealtimes: what the science shows. The intersection of cancer treatment and fasting: what emerging research reveals. Hypertrophy and intermittent fasting. How fasting influences exercise performance. Dr. Peterson\u2019s personal approach to intermittent fasting.
