Time-Restricted Feeding Intervention in Metabolically-Unhealthy Postmenopausal Women
Sponsor: Julie Pendergast
Summary
This is a randomized, parallel two-arm clinical trial design to study the efficacy of time-restricted feeding on metabolic risk in postmenopausal women, who may be particularly vulnerable to disruption of circadian eating rhythms and the associated metabolic dysfunction. It is hypothesized that time-restricted feeding will improve insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, body weight, and other metabolic parameters in metabolically-unhealthy postmenopausal women.

Interventions
Time-Restricted Feeding (TRF)
Subjects will be educated about the health benefits of time-restricted feeding (TRF). Each subject in the TRF group will self-select a 10 hour (10h +/- 1hr) window aligned with their active phase during which they will consume all daily calories. Subjects will text the time of their first and last daily meals for the duration of the study.
