Winding the Clock for Better Health: The Power of Circadian Rhythms


Listen Later

We often think of circadian rhythms only in the context of sleep, but research shows that they relate to – and influence – so much more when it comes to our health and well-being. In this episode of the Business Group on Health podcast, we speak with Professor Russell Foster about what circadian rhythms are, the factors that influence these rhythms, and how the timing of activities like eating, exercising, and even taking medication can impact health outcomes for the better… or worse.

Listen to this wide-ranging conversation to hear about how individuals and employers can apply research on circadian rhythms to improve health and quality of life.

Guest: Russell Foster, Professor of Circadian Neuroscience, University of Oxford and author of Life Time: The New Science of the Body Clock, and How It Can Revolutionize Your Sleep and Health
