Diet and Exercise: When, How and What Matters?

What this episode covers

In this episode, Prof. Frédéric Gachon and Prof. Olga Pivovarova-Ramich explore how the timing of eating and exercise influences metabolism and diabetes risk. Drawing on recent research in chronobiology, they discuss circadian rhythms, chronotype, late-night eating, intermittent fasting, and how aligning daily behaviours with our internal clocks may improve metabolic health and insulin sensitivity. Prof. Gachon and and Prof. Pivovarova-Ramich explore how eating late or at the wrong time disrupts your body’s rhythm, and how different chronotypes (early risers vs night owls) respond to meal timing. They also touch on the growing popularity of intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating, as well as exercise timing and its connection to performance and sleep. Listen in now to understand how the timing of diet and exercise can improve health outcomes, especially for individuals living with diabetes.
