An interview with Dr. Martin Huecker
Being happy and healthy in your own body is a lifelong journey which requires disci-
pline and dedication.
To combat the effects of poor eating habits, there are thousands of different diets to
consider. Today, we will learn more about a popular eating practice that allows any
person to eat what they want, within reason, and still see positive health benefits.
The practice is called intermittent fasting. To participate, you simply pick an “eating
window” of eight hours or less each day; you do not eat outside of the designated
window. During the eight hour eating window, eating takes place as it would normally.
There are several proven health benefits to the practice of intermittent fasting. To
explain more about this new popular habit is Dr. Martin Huecker.
Dr. Huecker is an emergency room physician at the University of Louisville Hospital.
He’s also a scientist interested in the machinations of the human body as it relates to
health and nutrition. GLMS Communications Specialist Aaron Burch sat down for an
interview with Dr. Huecker to learn more about the practice of intermittent fasting.
