Fasting & Gut Health: What New Crohn’s Disease Studies Reveal
What if supporting your gut health involved changing not only what you eat—but when you eat? In this episode of the Foundational Health Podcast , Dr. Kevin Schultz examines two recent studies investigating time-restricted eating and fasting-mimicking diets in people with Crohn’s disease. The results suggest that structured fasting may help improve digestive symptoms, body composition, metabolic health, and certain markers of inflammation. You’ll learn how meal timing may affect your circadian rhythm, visceral fat, gut microbiome, and immune signaling. Dr. Kevin also explains why feeling better does not always mean intestinal inflammation is under control, who may be a reasonable candidate for intermittent fasting, and who should avoid fasting without medical supervision. If you’re interested in experimenting with meal timing, you’ll also receive a practical approach for beginning with a gentle 12-hour overnight fast before gradually considering a longer fasting window.
