Summary

Have you heard of chrononutrition? Are you optimizing your body’s circadian rhythm? How does when you eat, sleep and fast impact your body’s clock? Tune in to hear us discuss the topic of chrononutrition and how you can time your food, exercise, sleep and other activities to best sync up to your natural rhythm. Chrononutrition is the focused study of the relationship between food, metabolism, meal timing, and the circadian system. Your body actually has a central circadian “clock” located in the hypothalamus of the brain as well as additional clocks throughout peripheral tissues including the liver, heart, intestines, retina and more. In this episode we discuss sleep cycles, the actual best time to fast, as well as tips to reduce the pesky bluelight that is messing up your melatonin production!
