Kelsey Gabel RD, PhD is an Assistant Professor in Kinesiology and Nutrition at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). Dr. Gabel has been studying the effects of intermittent fasting on bodyweight and metabolic outcomes for over a decade. Specifically, her research is focused on how intermittent fasting may mitigate weight gain and adiposity, adverse effects, and metabolic dysregulation during and after anti-tumor treatment in women diagnosed with breast cancer. Additionally, she is exploring how different modalities of exercise, combined with intermittent fasting, may improve cardiometabolic health risk, cognitive decline, and symptomology in women during menopause.
