Dr. Satchin Panda: Intermittent Fasting to Improve Health, Cognition & Longevity
Satchin Panda presents the science of time-restricted eating and circadian biology. He explains how eating within a consistent 8-10 hour window improves metabolic health, reduces inflammation, and enhances cognitive function.

Panda explains that the liver, gut, pancreas, and other organs have independent circadian clocks that optimize their function at different times of day. Eating outside the window when these clocks expect food disrupts metabolic coordination and promotes disease.
Highlights
•
A consistent 8-10 hour eating window produces metabolic benefits regardless of macronutrient composition
Panda's research shows that mice eating a high-fat diet within an 8-hour window were metabolically healthier than mice eating the same diet ad libitum over 24 hours. The timing window alone protected against obesity and metabolic disease.Was this useful?
