I've watched the video and to me it makes a lot of sense, and does not come across as quackery or new age at all. It has me quite excited tbh. I mean, sure I need to do my due diligence, ie other corroborating research, and I know I'm not healthy enough or prepared enough to jump straight into a long term fast, and the doctor here doesn't advise that... I'd need to get my carbs and sugar levels down first... but him recommending intermittent fasting, that's nothing new... and something I'd like to try, ie as he puts it recreating the paleolithic diet ie one or two meals a day six hours apart, ie our ancestors wouldn't snack several times a day, they'd eat when they got the chance, and sometimes have long periods of not having that chance, and that's what our bodies, in the timescale of evolution, would be most adapted to. I think that makes a lot of sense.
If it works, it’s not quackery (by definition). There’s a lot of data supporting the health benefits of intermittent fasting.
