From aging to genetics, we’re exploring the balance between nutrition and metabolism in this four-part series.

On this episode, Chuck Gaidica is joined by Registered Dietitian for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Shanthi Appelö. Together, they explore the science behind nutrient timing.

In this episode of A Healthier Michigan Podcast, we explore:

  • What is nutrient timing?
  • How intermittent fasting can have benefits like reducing calorie intake and stabilizing insulin levels, but prolonged fasting may slow metabolism.
  • How timing certain nutrients, like having protein at breakfast or lighter meals in the evening, can help manage energy levels and digestion throughout the day.
  • How developing a regular eating pattern and being mindful of hunger cues can support healthy weight maintenance over time.
