Three studies found no weight loss or cardiometabolic benefits on a 16/8 eating pattern (16 hours of fasting, 8 hours to eat). One other study did find that shifting the eating window to early in the day, from 8 am to 2 pm, actually did result in lower 24-hour glucose levels, reduced glucose excursions, and lower insulin levels compared to controls. So perhaps an early-day feeding window could be effective, but in my view 16 hours without food simply isn't long enough to activate autophagy or inhibit chronic mTOR elevation. Another drawback is that you're virtually guaranteed to miss your protein target with this approach. [2023] - Peter Attia

A living trust places your portfolio in the hands of an independent manager, usually a trust company, with family members as co-trustees. The trust receives your investment portfolio and the trustees manage it such that you receive a stable income for life, similar to an annuity. The remaining capital is distributed to family members on your death. The provision of the trust agreement should provide instructions for the financing of your care should you require long-term medical attention. The main requirement for trustees is that they be competent, independent parties who will manage your affairs in your best interest. [2020] - Douglas Gray
