Episode 3146:


Riley Pearce explores how meal timing might influence your circadian rhythm, potentially improving your sleep and overall metabolic health.

Quotes to ponder:


"Meal timing may not have the effect on our sleep cycles that we originally thought."


"Reduce food intake after sunset: if you eat this will signal all of those other periphery clocks to let your master clock know it is not time for bed yet."


"The circadian rhythm is a natural cycle that is controlled by our biological clocks."
