I am excited to have Dr. Teryn Clarke join us once again. Dr. Clarke sheds light on the power of mindful and balanced eating over restrictive diets, sharing her insights from her research and personal experiences. We'll discuss practical tips for implementing time-restricted eating, including Dr. Clarke's meal timing and composition recommendations, ways to identify true hunger, and the importance of consulting doctors for personalized fasting schedules.
