Time-restricted eating may reduce disease in the elderly without limiting calories
Pilot study shows increased exercise capacity and glucose tolerance
I am a graduate student studying human nutrition at Colorado State University. I came to this program after receiving my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology when I realized that exercise does so many great things for the body – except cause significant weight loss. My current research focuses on how a diet high in fat and sugar (a traditional Western Diet) alters the gut microbiota (the trillions of micro-organisms that live in our intestines) and plays a role in the development and progression of heart disease.
