In this episode we interview Phil Anjum, a member of the Bite Sized Medicine crew and The Ohio State University College of Medicine Class of 2022.

Phil earned his bachelor's in biomolecular science and film at University of Michigan and plans to pursue primary care after graduation from medical school.

During the interview, we talk about Phil's contributions to the Bite Sized Medicine podcast and connecting with patients about nutrition.

In this episode we discuss intermittent fasting in further detail. Highlights from this episode include a review of metabolism and insulin sensitivity, a breakdown of a recent New England Journal of Medicine article reviewing The Effects of Intermittent Fasting on Health, Aging, and Disease, and the effects of caloric restriction on your health.

In this episode we discuss different types of protein intake, the advantages and disadvantages of high protein diets, and the optimal amount of protein consumption for different age groups. As always, consult a dietitian to find healthy, affordable, and easy ways to incorporate a wide variety of protein sources, especially if you have other chronic health issues.
