Description

Have you ever wondered why you feel alert in the morning, sluggish at night, or completely off after a late flight? In this episode of The Science of Self-Healing, we explore the fascinating world of your circadian rhythm—the 24-hour internal clock that orchestrates your hormones, metabolism, mood, and even cellular repair.

Discover how light, meal timing, and sleep habits influence your energy and long-term health, and learn how ancient healing traditions like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine have honored these rhythms for centuries.

You’ll also hear how modern chronobiology is proving what bioregulatory medicine has always known: when you live in sync with your body’s natural timing, everything works better—from digestion and detoxification to immunity and emotional balance.

We’ll cover:

  • The science behind your “master clock” and its influence on hormones like cortisol and melatonin
  • How eating and sleeping at the wrong times can disrupt health and mood
  • Practical ways to realign your rhythm using light, movement, and herbal allies
  • Why “night owls” and “early birds” are both right—if they follow their natural chronotype

By the end, you’ll have a simple blueprint for restoring balance, energy, and resilience—one sunrise and sunset at a time.
