353: Dr. Satchin Panda - Time-Restricted Eating (TRE) & Managing Your Light Exposure


Listen Later

Dr. Satchin Panda (IG: @satchin.panda) is a professor at the Salk Institute and author of The Circadian Code. He is a frequent speaker in international conferences on metabolism, exercise and chronic diseases.

Dr. Panda's research focuses on how circadian clocks regulate behaviour, physiology, and metabolism.

His discovery of how a blue light sensor in our eyes affect our sleep-wake cycle, depression, and alertness is leading a new revolution in managing light to improve health. Dr. Panda recently discovered that maintaining a daily feeding-fasting cycle – popularly known as time-restricted eating (TRE) – can prevent and reverse many chronic diseases and increase lifespan.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How you wake up is the most important part of your day
  • Getting natural daylight in the morning
  • The light-dark cycle trains our brain clock
  • Melanopsin is sensitive to blue light (aka junk light at night)
  • It takes 2-3 hours to build up your melatonin
  • Simple solutions to manage light throughout your home
  • Make sure to get 1-2 hours of bright light every day
  • Mental health is linked to your sleep-wake cycle
  • Optimal sleep amounts for all ages (babies to adults)
  • Time-restricted eating (TRE) = eating during an 8-12 hour window
  • Every cell in our body has its own clock
  • Fasting makes your organs function better
  • Why you should stop eating 2-3 hours before you sleep
  • Finding the right TRE schedule for you
  • Stop snacking to help burn fat
  • Does coffee impact time-restricted eating?
  • Dr. Panda’s personal experience with TRE
  • How to best manage shift work & your eating schedule
  • The Circadian Code in men vs. women
  • The perfect circadian day
