Feeding Window

Andrew discusses the relationship between feeding, body fat stores, and hormones. He explains how leptin signals the brain to turn on puberty and how sufficient leptin signaling is needed to maintain ovulation in women. He also mentions how fasting or extreme exercise plus fasting can reduce testosterone and impact sperm counts and fertility in men. Andrew advises taking time to transition into a time-restricted feeding window and determining what works best for individual hormone health.
