30-Second Summary
This systematic review assessed six studies on time-restricted eating (TRE) and female reproductive hormones. RCTs in women with general obesity showed no significant hormonal changes, whereas non-randomised studies in women with PCOS reported possible hormonal improvements that may be confounded by weight loss. Overall evidence is limited and inconclusive; more rigorous long-term RCTs are needed.
