Episode notes

Chronic circadian disruption emerges as a significant contributing factor to many modern chronic diseases. The transition during the industrial revolution allowed for continuous work and food consumption, leading to a neglect of our natural biological rhythms. This disruption, as opposed to acute disturbances like those experienced during long-distance travel, has been exacerbated by our modern lifestyle. Analysis of historical data indicates a marked change in meal timing and daily routines over the last few centuries, highlighting an increase in behaviors that adversely affect our health. The World Health Organization has recognized the health risks associated with night shift work, categorizing it as a likely carcinogen, further emphasizing the importance of aligning our daily activities with our natural circadian rhythms to mitigate health risks.

Episode #302. Learn everything you need to know about fasting from some of the world’s leading authorities. From addressing common myths to offering specific guidance on how to make time-restricted eating work for you, this episode is a masterclass on using fasting as a powerful tool for enhancing health and longevity.

This episode features highlights from past episodes with Dr Courtney Peterson, Dr Emily Manoogian, Dr Satchin Panda, and Dr Valter Longo to give you a comprehensive understanding of fasting. We cover everything from the essentials of fasting to its synchronisation with circadian rhythm, the metabolic advantages it offers, and how to implement it for maximum benefit.
