Abstract
Background: A fasting conference and scientific symposium on fasting were held in Berlin in June 2023. Researchers and clinicians from around the world shared new findings, clinical insights, and work in progress during a 3-day program.
Summary: Different fasting regimens, including prolonged, short-term, intermittent fasting, and time-restricted eating were discussed for preventive and therapeutic settings. Experimental and clinical findings shared ranged from biochemical and cellular fasting responses to fasting-mimicking agents, the role of the gut microbiome, and immunological effects. Clinically, a special focus was placed upon metabolic, autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and oncological diseases. The discussion also covered how modern technologies, practical adaptations to traditional protocols, and a supportive network of specialized physicians can assist in the practical application of fasting, among other subjects.
Key messages: Dose-response relationships, gender aspects, and the subjective experience of fasting seem promising for future research, while further investigation of religious fasting may offer deeper insights into motivational and health aspects.

Aims and Scope
''Complementary Medicine Research'' is an international journal that aims to bridge the gap between conventional medicine and complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) on a sound scientific basis, promoting their mutual integration. Accordingly, experts of both conventional medicine and CAM medicine cooperate on the journal‘s editorial board, which accepts papers only after a rigorous peer-review process in order to maintain a high standard of scientific quality.
Spectrum of ''Complementary Medicine Research'':
- Review and Original Articles, Case Reports and Essays regarding complementary practice and methods
- Journal Club: Analysis and discussion of internationally published articles in complementary medicine
- Editorials of leading experts in complementary medicine
- Questions of complementary patient-centered care
- Education in complementary medicine
- Reports on important meetings and conferences
- Society Bulletins of Schweizerische Medizinische Gesellschaft für Phytotherapie (SMGP) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Naturheilkunde
