Immune System Cells in the Gut Linked to Stress-Induced Depression

I also had mild GERD issues, nothing major, no waking up with burns. What did you change ?

I plan to try a 5/2 diet. eTRF makes me feel tired often and any external stress is difficult to handle. I think 5 normal days and 2 days of full fast during the week might feel good. It may also change metabolism deeper.. I don't know.

All I did was go back from standard American feeding window to a 14/10 window. I stop eating at 7PMish and eat again after 10AM. I've seen studies that show 14/10 is about as good as 16/8.

How long did you try eTRF? It takes time to adapt. Ultimately your body needs to up regulate ketone production or you will feel tired because you really don't have enough energy. Lots of fast carbs will spike insulin and suppress ketone production if you are hyperinsulinemic.

I forgot precisely.. probably mid-Jan. I'm patient and will keep a month or so to see if things get stable, it's mostly positive so far.
