Circadian Biology Part 1: Our Internal Clock That Runs With The Earth is The Most Powerful Thing For Our Health

Key Takeaways:

Importance of Circadian Biology:

Essential for overall health and well-being.

Internal clocks in the body, brain, heart, and liver require daily resetting via natural light exposure.

Role of the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN):

Acts as the master clock and needs daily resetting through photoentrainment (exposure to natural light, especially at sunrise).

Organ and Tissue Clocks:

The body has approximately 20,000 to 25,000 clocks influenced primarily by light and food intake.

Circadian mismatches can lead to health problems.

Impact of Meal Timing:

Meal timing can shift circadian rhythms in body temperature and heart rate.

Eating during light cycles and finishing meals shortly after sunset is crucial for health.

Leptin and Its Importance:

Leptin regulates hunger and energy metabolism.

Resetting leptin levels involves watching sunrise, avoiding snacking, and eating a large breakfast early.

The Four-Hour Rule for Leptin:

Finish eating at least four hours before sleeping to allow leptin to enter the brain and initiate sleep and hormonal processes.

Positive Attitude:

A positive mindset is vital for health improvements.

Always seek to improve your knowledge and question mainstream health beliefs.
