Description

The body has an elaborate system of internal clocks. Processes run at specific times. This is the science of circadian rhythm. In this episode, we explore top strategies to optimize your bioclocks for health and performance.
 
Key Takeaways
The body's master clock is slightly longer than 24 hours. Every day we must resynchronize the clocks
Light and meal timing are the two most important circadian cues
The stronger your daytime light exposure, the less nighttime light will influence your sleep
