Does Intermittent Fasting Increase Your Risk of Death? *The Power of a Headline on Your Health*

If this headline made you do a double take, you're not alone. 

We know that the nutrition world can be incredibly confusing, and frankly, incredibly annoying.

Part of the reason I do this podcast is to vent about my frustrations about the industry, because sometimes it really is exhausting to see all of the contradictory information out there.  And it can leave us feeling like there’s not even a point in trying, which doesn’t serve us. 

Recently, a headline came out stating that intermittent fasting might be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death  . . . which is a very dramatic statement. So in today’s episode, I want us to eat a major grain of salt and really break this all down, so you feel equipped to come to your own conclusions. 

We're covering:

• what I did immediately when this article was sent to me
• what was the study that made this claim?  was it a published study? 
• why are observational studies tricky? 
• let's play devil's advocate . . . what could be a reason for this finding? why could intermittent fasting increase the risk of cardiovascular death? 
• why it could be more important that ever to focus on this one macronutrient 
• the takeaway
• today's feelgood thing
