PhD in Human Nutrition, McGill University (2002-2006) Postdoctoral Fellowship, University of California, Berkeley (2006-2008) BS in Nutrition and Dietetics, University of Guelph (1998-2002) Dr. Varady's research program centers on the safety and efficacy of intermittent fasting protocols for weight loss and metabolic disease reduction, particularly in populations with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Her work systematically investigates various fasting approaches including alternate day fasting, time-restricted eating, and the 5:2 diet, examining their effects on weight management, metabolic health markers, cardiovascular risk factors, and hormonal regulation. A key aspect of her research addresses common concerns about potential side effects, demonstrating that properly implemented intermittent fasting does not cause problematic changes in sex hormones or lead to eating disorders. Analysis of her recent publications (2021-2024) reveals a growing focus on clinical applications of intermittent fasting, with increasing attention to specific populations including those with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Her work increasingly examines combined interventions (fasting plus exercise) and investigates physiological mechanisms underlying observed health benefits.
