Listen "A Review of Circadian Code by Dr. Satchin Panda - Optimizing Sleep, Weight Loss, and Energy (Episode #97, 19 July 2022)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I review the book The Circadian Code, a 2018 book by Dr. Satchin Panda, Director of Center for Circadian Biology at the University of California San Diego. I'll discuss his super simple recommendations to turbocharge your energy, lose weight, and to get jacked! Best yet, it's all free! You just need the knowledge.
Together you and I will explore his three key take recommendations relating to when we sleep, eat and move. To optimize all three, you'll need to understand the relationship to light and its relationship to sleep.
This is covered in depth in this book and in this episode: how to align your circadian biology with the sun, a process resulting from over one billion years of evolution.
Align with the sun and get, healthy, happy, and fit. Fight it and you'll likely get sick, tired and depressed.
Even though its a billion years in the making, the key findings of this field have only emerged within the last 30 to 40 years, and some of those were only made in 2002 by scientists like Dr. Panda. I learned about Dr. Panda through my man-crush, Dr. Andrew Huberman, a fellow professor who actually believes, like Dr. Panda, that his research should be accessible to a larger audience (in contrast to many academics). Dr. Huberman discussed Dr. Panda's work in his episode on time restricted eating, a key interest of mine, and I really wanted to learn more in depth about optimizing food intake based upon a daily circadian sleep/wake cycle.
I also share my own story when I was 300 pounds. Though I largely ate a healthy diet, my circadian biology was all out of whack, leading to being fat, stressed, and unfocused. That all changed when I started aligning my circadian biology with the timing of when I ate, or time restricted eating as Dr. Panda calls it.
This book lived up to its promise of losing weight, supercharging energy, and transforming health. Whoa... this one was super fun to do and I can't wait to start doing regular weekly podcasts again!!
