#122 4th Most Popular Podcast of 2024: The Science of Circadian Rhythm (Part 1), Prevalence of Social Jet Lag & Natural Ways to Boost Energy Levels - Dr Tom Buckley
Tune in as Dr Tom Buckley and Andrew dive into the science of circadian rhythm, the internal biological clock that dictates sleep wake cycles and influences multiple aspects of wellbeing including cognition, hormone balance, metabolism, weight management, sleep-wake cycles, sex drive and especially personal energy levels.
During this episode we explore the interrelationship between circadian rhythm, sleep, and energy output (referred to as the Symphony of Clocks); shed light on an exciting new book we are working on called The Big Biological F*ck Up! (BFUP); we discuss Exposure Theory and why many children born today will live less years than their parents ; and the impact Social Jetlag has on physical and psychological health. We also explore practical insights to wake up and energise yourself each day (Morning Circadian Reset) and the importance of morning sunlight to reset the body synchronise internal clocks for optimal functioning.
Dr Tom Buckley is an Associate Professor at Sydney University and a leading expert in stress and cardiovascular health. He highlights the importance of understanding and optimising circadian rhythms for peak performance.
“We don’t need studies to highlight if you have hormonal disturbances because you are out of sync with the environment, and your body clock is running on negative and you're boosting it artificially, you will definitely see a degradation in health span and lifespan.”
