Metabolic Health
How the body produces, stores and switches between fuels underlies energy, weight and long-term brain health.
Here you will find entries on intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, caloric restriction and beta-hydroxybutyrate, plus a structured metabolic reset protocol. Popular protocols are assessed against what controlled studies actually show.

Defined terms, each with its own entry.
Mitophagy: Definition and the Selective Clearance of Damaged MitochondriaMitophagy is the selective process that clears damaged mitochondria, driven by PINK1-Parkin tagging and activated by exercise and dietary urolithin A.Glossary term · 2 Aug 2026
Beta-Hydroxybutyrate: Definition and the Ketone Body That Also SignalsBeta-hydroxybutyrate is the ketone body that fuels the brain during fasting and acts as a signalling molecule, not just an energy source.Glossary term · 2 Aug 2026
Time-Restricted Eating: Definition, Mechanism, and Evidence for Metabolic HealthTime-restricted eating limits caloric intake to an 8-to-12-hour window, harnessing circadian biology to improve insulin sensitivity and body composition.Glossary term · 18 Jun 2026

Intermittent Fasting: Definition and the 16:8 / 5:2 / OMAD ProtocolsIntermittent fasting cycles eating and fasting periods to trigger metabolic switching from glucose to ketones. Covers 16:8, 5:2, and OMAD protocols.Glossary term · 18 Jun 2026
Caloric Restriction: Definition and the Longevity EvidenceCaloric restriction cuts energy intake 20-40% to activate longevity pathways. Human RCTs confirm slower biological ageing and lower cardiometabolic risk.Glossary term · 18 Jun 2026
