3 New Papers: One 16-Hour Fast Won't Boost Muscle Gains, Morning Lifting Has a Calorie Illusion, and an App Can Replace Your Sleep Clinic

Three PubMed papers indexed June 2–9, 2026: a crossover study (n=9) finds a single 16-hour fast does not enhance muscle protein synthesis vs. a 10-hour fast; a crossover trial (n=13) shows morning resistance training's apparent calorie-burn advantage disappears once circadian-rhythm fluctuations are accounted for; and a 15-RCT meta-analysis (N=3,507) finds fully automated digital CBT-I apps produce a large, consistent reduction in insomnia severity (SMD −0.82) comparable to in-person therapy.

3 New Papers: A 5-Day Fasting Protocol Resets Your Gut, Aerobic Exercise Trims Postmenopausal Body Fat, and CBT-I Calms Dementia Behaviors

Three PubMed papers indexed June 1–7, 2026: an n=64 RCT finds a 5-day ~600 kcal/day fast cuts inflammation and shifts gut bacteria (but effects reverse within a month, and industry COI applies); a 16-RCT meta-analysis (n=1,571 postmenopausal women) confirms aerobic training cuts body fat −1.40% and waist −2.02 cm; and a 240-person cluster RCT of CBT-I in nursing homes finds sleep scores don't improve dramatically but agitation, depression, and other dementia behaviors do.

3 New Papers: Sweeteners Edge Out Sugar for Weight Maintenance, Exercise Resolves Inflammation, and Resistance Training Halves Sleep Apnea Severity

Three PubMed papers indexed June 1–7, 2026: an 83-person 12-month RCT finds sweeteners may slow weight regain after dieting (3.0 vs. 5.9 kg, p=0.050), but multiple authors have industry funding ties; a 4-arm 12-week RCT (n=44 obese men) shows interval resistance-aerobic training raises the inflammation-resolving mediator Maresin-1 and cuts HOMA-IR, with fisetin adding to the anti-inflammatory effect; and an 8-week RCT (n=25) finds resistance training alone reduces apnea-hypopnea index by ~21 events/hour in moderate-to-severe OSA, confirmed by polysomnography.
