Ruth Patterson, Ph.D. on Time-Restricted Eating in Humans & Breast Cancer Prevention
Her research demonstrates that a simple 13-hour overnight fast, starting early in the evening (7-8 PM), can reduce breast cancer recurrence risk by 40% and improve metabolic markers like HbA1c, independent of weight losssummaryModest weight loss (5%) yields significant improvements in metabolic health, debunking the notion that only substantial weight loss is beneficial.takeawayObesity increases breast cancer risk not just through weight, but by elevating insulin and estrogen levels while lowering SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin), which normally binds and inactivates estrogen.takeaway
