E133: Mark Mattson talks about the benefits and science of intermittent fasting.

[@kencarey3477]

I really like to listen to Mark. I have learned a great deal from him

[@ggcruise]

Love to hear Mark's knowledge ... very informative and interesting.

Thanks to Mark's work, and others, I started TRE in 2014, also skipping breakfast. Have seen it come from nowhere on the public stage to a fad. Always eat with 8 hours and often within 6. Also, do the occasional Longo FMD, although for only 2 or 3 days in a row, instead of 5, as I'm already primed due to TRE and quality diet. Definitely notice the calming effect of elevated ketones. During normal TRE ketones tend to increase to near clinical levels during the last few hours of fast.

I've been intermittent fasting for at least 40 years without even knowing it was fashionable. I don't ever remember eating breakfast after the age of about 18 and always started food around lunchtime. Being a vegetarian for 30 years too although I just reintroduced fish and chicken about 2 years ago as I'm now in my 60s and want to retain as much muscle mass as possible

I'm 76, and have long covid. I do the short eating time most days. What is the thinking about a seven day dry fast. Would it be dangerous for me?

[@hermanharper4594]

3 day's max from my research and studying. And maybe you shouldn't do it all. It could be dangerous.

A Keton diet should only be for Short term,
