Dr. Satchin Panda, Part 2: Time Restricted Eating's Affect On: Microbiome, Brain Health and Mental Health. Relative Energy Deficit in Sports.

Topics Covered: Time Restricted Eating or Intermittent Fasting and it's effect on: Acid Reflux, microbiome, energy, fasted workouts, the brain, mental health, depression, panic attacks, anxiety, long-term fasting, effects on athletic performance, sports where weight loss is a factor like MMA, wrestling, exercise, relative energy deficit in sports (REDS) injury: women lose their periods, sleep, impact in the brain. Firefighter feasibility study, shift work, his free app: My Circadian Clock, his personal circadian habitsSatchin Panda, PhD is a Professor at the Salk Institute in California, where his research focuses on the circadian regulation of behavior, physiology, and metabolism in model organisms and in humans. Dr. Panda discovered a blue-light sensing cell type in the retina entrains our master circadian clock, affects mood, and regulates the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Recently, he discovered that maintaining a daily feeding-fasting cycle – popularly known as time-restricted feeding (TRF) – can prevent and reverse metabolic diseases. Based on a feasibility study in humans, his lab is currently carrying out a smartphone-based study to assess the extent of circadian disruption among adults. Dr. Panda has received the Julie Martin Mid-Career Award in Aging Research, Dana Foundation Award in Brain and Immune System Imaging, and was a Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences.Support the show
