We invited Dr. Courtney Peterson, a leading expert on intermittent fasting (IF) to the podcast to discuss time-restricted eating (TRE), a popular form of IF. She explains the health benefits of TRE, including weight loss, and how it rejuvenates your body and potentially extends your lifespan. You know we aren’t fans of fad diets.
