“The circadian rhythms are 24-hour rhythms. So that means our biology, physiology, metabolism, hormone function–everything changes with 24 hours” – Satchin Panda, Ph.D.
Get ready to fix your eating patterns, optimise your sleep, exercise at the right time for your body, and get proper light exposure by tuning in to your circadian rhythm.
Satchin Panda, Ph.D., is a professor at the Salk Institute of Biological Studies in San Diego, California, the world’s leading expert on the science of circadian rhythms, and author of “The Circadian Code” and “The Circadian Diabetes Code.” He examines the physical, mental, and behavioural changes that happen during a daily 24-hour cycle.
In this episode, he explains why your body runs best on a rhythm and shares tips on how you can work with your circadian timing to optimise your health. Tim and Dr. Panda also explore:
- how circadian clocks regulate various bodily functions
- the health benefits of time-restricted eating
- the advantages of blue-blocking glasses
- effective lighting strategies for your home
- advice for shift workers
- … and much more
