Time-restricted eating for postmenopausal metabolic risk
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies whether limiting when you eat each day can improve blood sugar and other health markers in postmenopausal women with prediabetes or metabolic risk factors. It may help your body’s metabolism if your sleep and daily routine can stay fairly consistent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman after menopause and between 45–65 years old
- You have prediabetes OR at least two signs of metabolic syndrome (such as higher blood pressure, higher cholesterol, or abdominal weight)
- You are not currently taking hormone therapy
- You do not have diabetes or known heart disease
- Your alcohol intake is 2 drinks or less per day, and you do not have major sleep problems like uncontrolled sleep apnea
- Your eating/weight and daily routine are fairly stable (no formal weight loss program, not weight-changing a lot, and no irregular shift work)

This trial tests if eating all your meals within a shorter window each day can improve blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. You may qualify if you have prediabetes or metabolic syndrome and eat over 12 hours daily.
This study tests if eating only within a shorter daily window, combined with personalized nutrition advice, can improve metabolic syndrome—a cluster of conditions like high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and excess belly fat. You may qualify if you're an adult who eats over 14 hours a day and has at least three of the listed health markers.
This trial tests whether a structured “time-restricted eating” schedule is practical and safe for women with mild cognitive impairment (mild memory/thinking changes). You may be able to join if your routine and health conditions fit the study rules, and they will focus on eating timing and daily patterns.
This study tests whether eating only during a specific time window each day can improve metabolic health in people with obesity and insulin resistance. If you have a high BMI and early signs of diabetes, this trial might help you understand a simple dietary change.
This study tests if time-restricted eating (eating only during a set window each day) can help women with menopausal symptoms, including those who have had hormone-sensitive breast cancer and are on hormone-blocking therapy.
This study tests whether eating only within a set daily time window can improve cardiometabolic health (things like blood sugar and heart-related measures). You may be eligible if you have overweight and borderline/high-risk blood sugar but do not have diabetes and can follow the eating and testing rules.
