Caloric restriction and intermittent fasting are known to improve health and prolong life in animal models, but in humans it has been studied less. In this case study, Dr. O’Brien examines the before and after data of a 50-year-old perimenopausal female experimenting with intermittent fasting ...
Intermittent fasting has gained significant attention, yet a comprehensive understanding of its impact on female reproductive health is lacking.

During fasting and extended exercise, adaptive cellular stress-response signalling pathways are activated and autophagy is stimulated, whereas overall protein synthesis is reduced. Upon refeeding, rest and sleep, protein synthesis is upregulated and mitochondrial biogenesis occurs, enabling neurogenesis and ...
