This doctor (Dr Berg) also has a channel on the same - and provides some interesting easy to understand scientific explanations on different intermittent fasting related items. I remember the explanations on the body need for potassium was interesting.

- tdburn 8y agoA little more info on Dr Berg: he's a chiropractor doctor not a medically trained doctor. He has a lot of good information, but it's also wise to verify any of his info from other sources.
- cde-v 8y agoIt's wise just to disregard anything and everything he says.
- doitLP 8y agoUnhelpful and mean-spirited. Not a comment worth posting on hacker news.
- elyobo 8y agoNeeds appropriate quotes > he's a chiropractor "doctor"

He documents all of his articles with the relevant references and sources: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=intermittent+fasting+site%3Adrmirkin.com&t=opera&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=intermittent+fasting+site%3Adrmirk...
