83. Circadian Synced Eating (and why you should care about it!)

Welcome back to The Down to Earth PCOS Nutrition Podcast! We are putting all of the conflicting messages about WHAT to eat for PCOS aside today and, instead, chatting about WHEN to eat! Up until recently, we didn’t think meal timing was incredibly important. But, studies have shown us just how essential it is, especially when it comes to hormonal balance!In today’s episode, I am sharing the science behind eating in sync with your circadian rhythms and why it’s important. The circadian rhythm system, which is based on light and darkness cues from our environment, governs so many bodily functions. This includes sleep, mood regulation, heart rate, hunger cues, hormone function and so much more! When you eat in alignment with your circadian rhythm, your hormones function more efficiently and your body metabolizes food better. Today’s episode will explain the principles of this approach and provide some tips to get you started. What You’ll Learn on this Podcast Episode: What is the Circadian Rhythm?
