Dr. Annette Bosworth

at the age of 54, with vitality and energy and sleeping through the night and not having what every other 54-year-old, which is chronic joint pain, a brain that can only focus for three to four hours without a break, a stamina of endurance and health and joy that falls apart.

Well, what'd you have for breakfast?

It's okay.

That's not a bad thing.

But when you're 54, you should probably put the calories in the morning, not at night.

We know that as you age, the cost of a calorie turns into timing.

If you eat that food, one bite of food after six o'clock is worth 10 bites of food before noon.

So if you're trying to say, how do I get the best out of the nourishment, but also eating is fun,

If you only get one bite after 6 o'clock and 10 before, move that food towards morning.

When you're your age, what's the last meal you ate?

Okay.

What did you have the rest of the day before that?

Just a salad.

Was that more towards lunch or noon or...?

So it waited all the way to four o'clock to eat.

Very common.

This is a really common pattern of people doing what we would say intermittent or time-restricted eating.

They put that eating window in this, but it's got that balloon at the end of the day.

Yeah.

And it really does.
