What you'll learn in this class:

The difference between burning fat and burning


protein and why they are both great.

Why the most important thing to be aware of when


losing weight is insulin levels.

Why weight loss and maintaining weight is all about


balance, the yin and yang.

Copyright HealthMeans
Biggest takeaways from this class:
We have been fasting for thousands of years, only in the
last 30 years a lot of myths have raised to say you
shouldn’t fast and that its not good for you.

When you fast it breaks down old proteins, turns on


growth hormone and rebuilds new proteins, which can
be a powerful method of preventing chronic disease.

You have to cut out snacks, they tend to be convenient


so they are often processed and loaded with sugar.

Whenever you eat you stimulate insulin, insulin is the


driving cause for weight gain.

The same meal is more fattening at dinner then it is at


breakfast because when you eat later at night your
body is beginning to get ready to shut down for going
to bed, so it turns the energy into fat and spikes insulin
levels.

If you eat a lot for a month, the next month you have to
eat a lot less, its about balance.

Action Steps for this class:

Stop snacking.

Experiment to find an eating window that works for you,


what works for your friend might not work for you.

if you eat a lot more then usual one week, then you
have to balance it out the next week by eating less -
remember yin and yang.

Emily Manoogian PHD

Time Restricted Feeding & our


Circadian Rhythms
Copyright HealthMeans
Emily Manoogian, PhD, is a post-doctoral
research fellow in Dr. Panda’s lab. She first
became interested in biological rhythms
during her undergraduate work at UC
Berkeley. After working with Dr. Lance
Kriegsfeld researching photoperiodism and
biological rhythms for two years, she knew
that she wanted to pursue a career studying
circadian rhythms. Emily moved to
Massachusetts for graduate school to work
with Dr. Eric Bittman, a leading expert in
circadian rhythms, at UMass Amherst. While
there, she analyzed the behavioral,
neurobiological, and genetic components of
a novel circadian mutant hamster known as
duper. Emily met Dr. Panda as a graduate
student in the circadian community, and
joined his lab soon after completing her PhD.
Emily is excited about her current research as
she is able to apply her expertise in biological
rhythms as the head of human research in the
Panda lab

What you'll learn in this class:
Circadian rhythms are generated from within our
bodies and co-ordinate with our environment to keep
our bodies functioning properly.

Circadian disruption is more common then we realise


and makes us more susceptible to disease.

Timing of when you eat matters. Lifestyle is not just


what and how much you eat sleep or move, it is also
when.

Copyright HealthMeans
Biggest takeaways from this class:
If you want to become an early bird, the timing of when you eat and
light exposure is important, shift your eating earlier, decrease light
exposure at night time, have plenty of bright light in the morning, the
more you do this you can train your circadian system to shift.

18 week experiment showed that 1 group of rats on a high fat diet


eating around the clock ended up obese and full of disease, group 2
ate the same diet and same amount of food, but within an 8-12 hour
window and were perfectly healthy, didn’t gain weight and didn’t
gain any disease.

Current study is underway on the benefits of time restricted eating,


but what they have seen so far with time restricted eating is - low-
moderate weight loss, improved energy, endurance, better sleep
quality, improve glucose regulation, changes the way your body
metabolises foods and how you regulate blood sugar, decrease in
blood sugar, reduces acid reflux, helping digestive health, decrease
inflammation. If you optimise your body you are really going to be a
stronger version of yourself.

There is no ONE trick it’s a combination of a bunch of little things that


lead to health.

Action Steps for this class:

Pick an eating interval that is always the same - if you


aren't already eating within a specific window, slowing
decrease your eating interval to 8-12 hours.

If you are shift worker - either stay in the same 24 hour


eating window OR shift it completely with you.

Sign up to the circadian clock if you are interested in


participating in the study.

What you'll learn in this class:
Benefits to burning fat for energy instead of glucose.

The step by step process of following a ketogenic diet


for beginners .

Balancing hormones, testing ketosis and reducing


stress.

Copyright HealthMeans
Biggest takeaways from this class:
When we are constantly eating or snacking, it increases
our insulin levels and inflammation in our body. This
accelerates the aging process and keeps us from
moving into ketosis where we are burning fat for fuel,
instead of sugar.

Focus on real foods that help our bodies become best


fat burners eg; avocados, coconut products, cruciferous
vegetables, dark leafy green vegetables, nutrient dense
foods, with minimal amount of toxins.

Start with 4-6 weeks of a ketogenic diet where you will


become fully adapted and then work on a way to cycle
in and out, adding in certain foods that make you feel
good.

Reduce stress by barefoot walking, gentle movement,


turn off wifi at night and get a deep, restful sleep.

Copyright HealthMeans
Action Steps for this class:

Start with eating every 3-4 hours.

Take out dairy products, gluten grains and processed


sugar.

Eat a lower carb, high fat diet throughout the day and
add more carbs at night like carrot, sweet potato, beets,
berries.

8-10 hours of sleep.
