In today’s episode, we dive into a detailed conversation about a study published in the Journal of Nutrients, comparing the effects of a high carbohydrate versus a high-fat shake on metabolism and glycemic control when used to break a 38-hour fast.  Dr. Benjamin Bickman completed this study. The study suggests that the type of nutrients consumed when breaking a fast significantly impacts metabolic health. It highlights that low-carb, high-fat shakes are more beneficial for maintaining ketosis and glycemic control compared to high-carb, low-fat shakes. The findings underscore the importance of food choices in optimizing fasting strategies for better health outcomes. They emphasize that what you eat and when you eat matters greatly for those practicing intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating.

In today’s episode, we discuss the integral role of sleep, particularly for women, in maintaining insulin sensitivity and overall health, emphasizing that sleep is often neglected but critically affects metabolic health. We explore a study revealing that even mild sleep deprivation can worsen insulin resistance without affecting body weight, and also delve into optimal timing for exercise. We address the misconception that OMAD (one meal a day) dinners are superior, and share resources for improving fasting strategies and sleep hygiene. Lastly, we announce upcoming changes to the podcast to enhance listener support and their mission to combat obesity and diabetes with a fasting lifestyle.
