The antidepressant effects of intermittent fasting—how and why it works!

Fasting increases ketones which trigger BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) production.

Fasting also increases ghrelin (hunger hormone) — which improves depression through the chemical orexin.

The Most common way to fast is to limit your eating window

The ideal fasting window for increased BDNF is 16-18 hours.

1. Look at your schedule and see when you normally eat

2. Establish a new eating window

3. Assign a time to your new eating window —for example push back breakfast (eat 12p-8p)

Drink lots of water while fasting (you can also drink coffee and tea)

Intermittent Fasting is not a diet, it’s a schedule adjustment

You still need to choose healthy foods during your eating window
