EPISODE 130: Are intermittent fasting and a healthy circadian rhythm the key to longevity?

Here today to discuss this with me is the world's most renowned circadian rhythm expert and leading authority in the field of chronobiology, Dr. Satchin Panda! Dr. Panda is a professor at the Salk Institute and the director of the Regulatory Biology Laboratories at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.

Besides his groundbreaking research on our internal clocks, he is also well known for his extensive studies on the concept of time-restricted eating, also known as intermittent fasting.

With a passion for understanding the impact of our internal clocks on our health and well-being, he has dedicated his career to unraveling the intricate connection between circadian rhythms, sleep, and human physiology. To say that I am super honored to have him as a guest on my show would be an understatement! 

Join us as we discuss why intermittent fasting and circadian rhythms are so important for our health and longevity, the impact of disrupted sleep-wake cycles and artificial light on our health, and practical strategies to optimize our daily routines.
