The Best Times to Eat, Sleep, and Exercise: Circadian Rhythm Science with Dr. Satchin Panda

How to fix eating patterns, optimise sleep, exercise at the right time and get proper light exposure

“The circadian rhythms are 24 hour rhythms. So that means our biology, physiology, metabolism, hormone function - everything changes with 24 hours” -Dr Satchin Panda

We need to stop fighting our bodies and start getting in sync with them. Ignoring our circadian rhythms is leading to more depression and anxiety, worse sleep, low energy, increased risk of obesity and diabetes, and even cancer and dementia.

The good news is, getting in line with your body clock is easier than you might think. This is a comprehensive guide on when to eat, when to workout, proper light exposure, and even when to have surgery.

Dr Satchin Panda is the the world’s leading expert on circadian rhythms and author of The Circadian Code and The Circadian Diabetes Code.

In this episode Tim and Satchin 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 and advice for shift workers - and much more.
