#75 Dr. Grant Tinsley - Intermittent Fasting for Health a Performance

In this episode of The Muscle Memoirs Podcast, I am joined by Dr. Grant Tinsley to discuss the ins and outs of intermittent fasting. Ultimately, we aim to answer: does intermittent fasting have unique effects on health, body composition, and performance, or is it simply a practical way to eat for many people? Dr. Grant Tinsley is an Assistant Professor and the Director of the Energy Balance a Body Composition Laboratory at Texas Tech University. The major research interests of his laboratory are the critical evaluation of body composition assessment techniques, the influence of intermittent fasting on health and physical performance, and sports nutrition strategies to improve performance and body composition.
