Welcome back to the Diet Doctor podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Brett Scher.

Today we're joined by Dr. Satcham Panda, and this is a real treat because Dr. Panda is really on the forefront

and one of the leaders in the world on circadian rhythm research and time-restricted eating

research. And one of my benefits being here in San Diego,

Dr. Pandas, local, he's here at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, where he is a professor

in the regulatory biology department. And like I mentioned, he is an expert on circadian rhythms,

and he has a very prolific lab where they have done a number of experiments in mice and in

humans. And that's what I find so interesting that we're going to talk a little bit about

how he has the experience in both mice and humans and why he got into human research, which

is a really interesting story that I hope you'll enjoy. But in this discussion, we talk all about

time restricted eating, where it came from, where it started, what was the

initial thought or hypothesis that sort of birthed it and how it's transitioned over time.

What Dr. Panda thinks is sort of the sweet spot for time restricted eating and why he thinks

it works for health and what it can do to improve people's health, where people are going to get the most benefits

and why it's so easy to do for so many people. And then, of course, what's the future and where's it

going? We get into all these discussions. And Dr. Panda really knows this literature and the science

better than anybody. And I'm very glad he took the time to sit with us and talk with me today.

If you want to find more from Dr. Panda, you can find them on Twitter at Satcham Panda.

You can also find them at my circadian clock.org, which is a great site that he and the folks

at Salk Institute run where you can sort of take pictures of your food and log

when you eat to give you an idea of when you're eating, not so much of what you're eating,

but when you're eating. And then you can also find them, of course, at the Salk Institute website
