This YouTube video transcript segment (German) discusses how time-restricted eating/fasting affects the pituitary gland, leading it to slow thyroid function (lowering thyroid hormones) when food intake is infrequent or eaten in a small window. The speaker says prolonged low blood sugar is interpreted as starvation, which can reduce luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), disrupt the menstrual cycle, cause amenorrhea (no periods) and anovulation, and thereby impair fertility when calories are restricted.
