Hello folks, today's podcast episode is a generous helping of a round two with Dr. Sachin Panda.

You may remember him from a few episodes back when we discussed an eating strategy called

timer-stricted eating, but don't worry, this podcast is actually very much standalone as

well, but if you don't go back to the episode, you may miss out on incredible primer of

circadian biology and so much more.

As we dive into some discussion about Dr. Panda's mobile app clinical study, it should

become increasingly clear how Dr. Panda and his colleagues are not just coming up with

the way to eat, but more importantly, a whole new paradigm of how to use smartphone technology

to efficiently crowd to his data, including the occasional one-off anecdote, and then go

on to formulate new ideas to explore, sometimes circling all the way back to animal research

where it is easier to establish mechanisms to explain what people are telling them.

Dr. Panda and I get into more specifics of how his mobile app study works during our conversation,

but to skip ahead and learn more on how you might be able to participate and submit your

timer-stricted eating data to real research, you can visit mycircadianclock.org.

That's mycircadianclock.org.

This podcast dives into a few really important areas that differentiate it from our earlier

conversation, including strategies for shift workers that run a greater risk of heart disease,

type to diabetes and obesity as a consequence of their occupational schedule.

How human anecdote and animal evidence suggests timer-stricted eating may be especially useful

for gut-related issues, including inflammatory bowel disease and acid reflex.

Some of the differences between 16-8 fasting and Dr. Panda's philosophy of timer-stricted eating,

which is informed by circadian biology, we dig into a lot of how important these distinctions
