That gets shifted to 11, 12.

So you're not actually going to get good sleep because you now have reset your melatonin responses.

So we want women to understand that

Time-restricted eating when you're not eating in the dark is really beneficial.

Easiest way to say it, yeah.

You're fueling for your body during the day because that's when it needs the fuel.

That's when we want to be able to create an environment that's supportive to hormone health, supportive to muscle growth, to brain health, to all the things, and reducing stress when we can control that stress.

So when you start phase shifting and holding fast and creating this stress on a circadian level, knowing that there's a circadian response on every cell as well as a total body circadian rhythm, that if you shift that, then we start seeing a lot of metabolic dysfunction, poor sleep.

And unfortunately, we see this in shift workers because that's what's happening.

They're having circadian shift.

because i think people think they've heard this term autophagy autophagy is the term take it stacy so this is the thing with autophagy you get that with exercise so the idea of autophagy is recycling the some of the parts of cells that have broken down or somehow become dysfunctional so your body's really good at cleaning that out we see with exercise it invokes that autophagy with fasting it invokes that too but not the severe fasting like three-day fast that kind of stuff

When we're looking at the telomere changes that people say with fasting, you get that with exercise.

So telomere is points that we look on the DNA to see how you're aging.

So we want longer telomere length because that means you are more stress resilient.

You get that with exercise because exercise is a big stress.

It creates a change within like we were talking about before exercise.

adaptive stress, epigenetic changes, which improves all of those markers that people are so adamant fasting does.

For women, no.

For men, I'm gonna say no as well, because when we're looking at the fueling mechanics of exercise, muscle is a very metabolically active tissue.

If your body is trying to fuel itself, it's going to break down the very first thing that's creating energetic need, which is muscle.
