We’ve all heard it: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But did our ancestors really pop their heads out of their caves and say, “Hey Mom! What’s for breakfast?!”

For them, “break fast” came only after they hunted or gathered something to eat. That’s one reason why I always encourage you to push your breakfast back as far as you can in my books.

But if you’re a breakfast lover, this episode is for you. I’ll reveal the best and worst breakfast options for optimal health, share my secrets on how to shorten your eating window to boost longevity, and highlight which common foods you can enjoy without breaking your fast.

Tune in and start your day the right way!

On this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why breakfast might not be the most important meal of the day after all (2:52)
  • How to adapt your system for a healthy routine if you can’t skip breakfast (4:10)
