Description

Today, we’re exploring circadian rhythms.


Did you know you could eat the exact same meal at two different times of day and your body would respond drastically differently? It sounds like a riddle - but it actually comes down to your body clock. 


Every cell in your body has one. A tiny internal ticker, shaped by evolution over thousands of years, to keep you in sync with the phases of the day.


So, how can we ensure we’re doing the right things at the right times? I’m joined by Professor Russell Foster to help us all stay in time with our natural rhythm.
