Webinar Series
December 12 2018
Join COPE and presenter Dorothy Sears, PhD for our December webinar: The Evidence: Impact of Intermittent Fasting and Food Intake Timing on Cardiometabolic Disease and Cancer Risk
Accumulating evidence shows that eating later in the evening as well as nighttime eating are associated with cardiometabolic disease and cancer risk. Daily practice of fasting during inactive, “sleep” phases of the circadian clock is associated with improved metabolic and breast cancer outcomes. Join us to learn how intermittent fasting may be effective in reducing cardio metabolic and cancer disease risk in some individuals, and how best to communicate and practically implement this strategy.
