WYE Study

19 Dec WYE Study

The main question the WYE study is exploring: Does the brain change after short term diet changes and can MRI detect these changes?

Participants will have an in-person screening visit, then 5 in-person study visits at UW SLU in the morning over a 2 week period and 1 remote visit at the 12-week timepoint. Procedures include fasting blood draws, body measurements, DEXA scan (special x-ray), MRI, questionnaires and eating only study foods provided by the study for 2 weeks. The foods that are prepared for you may contain more or less than your estimated daily caloric need.
