The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
if you want to do intermittent fasting all i would say is check your testosterone religiously as male or female and if you're a female check your other hormones and watch your cycle and see how it all works together don't let intermittent fasting dogmatism interfere with your hormones in a negative way

i think people should be getting morning testosterone a lot often a lot more often than they are um just some metric of stress whether it's like a morning cortisol or a morning testosterone or both that'll keep you honest because if you're doing tons of intermittent fasting and you see that testosterone dropping as a male or even as a female that's not a good thing
If you are trying to lose weight perhaps use intermittent fasting but I would say that if you really want to be honest with yourself you must be getting regular free testosterone and cortisols and doing the ratio and looking at your thyroid hormones because if your testosterone decreases because if your testosterone declines your free cortisol rises or your thyroid hormones start to decline then you are essentially going backwards you want all of those things to be optimal as you are losing weight
