How to Improve your Circadian Rhythm | Satchin Panda PhD

Satchidananda (Satchin) 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.In this episode we discuss:How does light affect your biology and physiology?The surprising connection between circadian rhythm and women’s fertility.Does it matter what time you eat food?When is the best time to exercise.This episode is brought to you by Better Help, LMNT, Inside Tracker, 1stPhormDonate | Panda Lab - Salk Institute for Biological StudiesSatchin's TwitterSatchin's IGOrder Dr. Lyon's Book Forever Strong - https://drgabriellelyon.com/forever-strong/Mentioned in this episode:Get your free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchasehttps://drinklmnt.com/drlyon10% off your first month of online therapy with BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/drlyonInside Tracker 20% Off the Entire Storehttps://info.insidetracker.com/drlyonVisit 1st Phorm Website for Free Shippinghttp://www.1stphorm.com/drlyon
