Dr. Satchin Panda: Intermittent Fasting to Improve Health, Cognition & Longevity | Huberman Lab

This series of videos from the Uberman Lab podcast discusses the science and science-based tools for everyday life, with a focus on intermittent fasting and time-restricted feeding. Dr. Sachin Panda, professor and director of the Regulatory Biology Laboratory at the Salk Institute of Biological Studies, explains how our circadian behaviors, such as when we wake up, view light, eat, and socialize, can impact our biology and psychology and how all of that has a strong impact on our health. The episodes also feature sponsors such as HVMN KETO-NIQ, 8Sleep, and Thesis, who provide products to help improve health and wellbeing. The videos discuss the potential health benefits of time-restricted feeding, independent of weight loss, and how it can be a convenient way to eat for many people. They also discuss the risks of reducing eating intervals to two to one meal or very short time, such as the disruption of the HPG axis, depression, anxiety, and bone health issues. The videos also explore the effects of caffeine on the body, the prevalence of shift workers in the US, the health risks associated with shift work, and the potential effects of artificial lighting on sleep and metabolic health. Finally, they discuss the importance of incentivizing people to do the right thing in order to promote behavior change, the potential benefits of taking metformin and burberry, and the need for scientists to communicate science to the public.
