The two-hour course content was derived from a review of literature regarding intermittent fasting, autophagy, neurodegenerative disorders, hormesis, ketosis and brain metabolism. Intermittent fasting (IF) has profound clinical application. In addition to changing anthropomorphic and metabolic variables, IF decreases inflammation, enhances neural health, and may have a profound impact on preventing/managing neurodegenerative disease.
