Delayed first meal, circadian rhythm and hormone pulses
According to the description, the clip explores why women's circadian rhythm and hormone pulses can be disrupted by delaying food until late morning. It names perimenopause as a time when sleep issues increase. These are described as topics the clip explores, not as findings from a reported study.

Clip scope: a short excerpt from a longer episode
The description calls the item a clip and points to a full episode elsewhere, so the material here is a short excerpt. It also links to the creator's newsletter, courses and books. The description does not report study design, participant numbers, follow-up or measured outcomes, so no effect size or certainty can be judged from it.
