First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether intermittent fasting (the 16/8 method, where you eat only during an 8-hour window each day) can improve mental health in women going through perimenopause. About 140 women aged 45-55 will be split into two groups: one that follows the fasting plan and one that doesn't. Researchers will measure changes in depression and anxiety symptoms after 3 months to see if this eating pattern helps ease emotional struggles during this life stage.
