Feasibility of Implementing Time-restricted Eating in Women With Mild Cognitive Impairment

Summary

This study will investigate the feasibility of implementing a time-restricted eating intervention in females with mild cognitive impairment. Targeted therapeutic interventions that improve cognitive impairment and delay onset of ADRD are particularly important for females, who have twice the lifetime risk of developing AD, compared to males.

Interventions

• Time-restricted eating · BEHAVIORAL

  Subjects will be educated about the health benefits of time-restricted eating. Each subject will self-select a 10-hour (10hr +/- 1 hr) window aligned with their active phase during which they will consume all daily calories. Subjects will text the time of their first and last daily calories for the duration of the study.
