79. The Power of Chronobiology: Why Timing IS Everything When it Comes to Your Health
Description
Your body runs on rhythms, and ignoring them comes at a cost.
In this episode of the Everyday Epigenetics: Raw, Real, Relatable podcast, Kate flips the mic to interview Susan on one of her favorite topics: chronobiology, the science of your body’s natural 24-hour clock. From when you sleep, eat, and move to when you’re most creative or focused, your internal timing influences everything.
Susan explains why so many of us are living out of sync with our biology, and how getting back into rhythm can radically improve your energy, mood, digestion, focus, and long-term health. Through personal stories, client experiences, and even a few rants, Susan and Kate make this science both fun and deeply relatable.
It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing things at the right time.
In this episode:
- What chronobiology actually is and why it matters for your health
- How shift work, late-night scrolling, and “fitting in” with others can disrupt your natural flow
- Why early birds and night owls thrive differently, and how couples can navigate these differences
- The surprising impact of timing on hormones, digestion, and even exercise results
- Practical steps to align your lifestyle with your unique chronobiology
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still not seeing results, this episode will show you why timing might be the missing key.
