Abstract in brief

  • Intermittent fasting is popular for weight loss and improving health, but it may cause changes in the body's hormonal rhythms that could have negative effects if dysregulated.
  • The review discusses how fasting impacts key hormones like insulin, thyroid hormones, and glucocorticoids, which follow circadian (daily) patterns crucial for normal bodily functions.
  • Since fasting can alter both hormone levels and secretion timing, people should carefully weigh the potential health benefits against risks like hormonal imbalance, especially considering individual health conditions.
