Podcasts about Circadian rhythm

Forget the scale - it doesn't tell you what actually predicts longevity. In this episode, Dr. Barrett walks through a 5-part scorecard you can start tracking from home: waist-to-height ratio, grip strength, metabolic markers (glucose, insulin, A1C), VO2 max, and sleep quality. He breaks down the research behind each one and why these fundamentals matter more than any supplement stack, peptide, or hormone protocol - plus simple, practical ways to start improving your score today.. . . Watch the episode on YouTube here!

In this solo episode, Michelle takes you into one of the most underrated topics in fertility. Light. Specifically, how the way you interact with light during the day and at night is shaping your hormones, your ovulation, your egg quality, and your sleep more than almost anything else you are doing. You will learn how melatonin protects developing eggs, how the circadian rhythm anchors the menstrual cycle, and the four foundational light habits that rebuild fertility from the most ancient signal in the body. Key Takeaways: Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant in the follicles, not just a sleep hormone Circadian disruption shows up in altered LH pulsing, delayed ovulation, and shortened luteal phase Morning light exposure is one of the most impactful fertility habits a woman can build Evening light, screens, and artificial light at night suppress melatonin and disrupt cycles In Chinese medicine, light rhythm directly supports yin, the foundation of fertility Harmonize Moon Cycle: michelleoravitz.com/hackyourcycle  Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

It's not just about diet and exercise - your environment plays a massive role in your health. In this episode, Dr. Barrett breaks down the top five environmental factors quietly driving chronic illness: processed food, indoor air quality, plastics and endocrine disruptors, light exposure and circadian disruption, and noise/constant stimulation. Rather than overwhelming you with a total lifestyle overhaul, he gives one practical, doable action for each - so you can start lowering your toxic load this week.. . . Watch the episode on YouTube here!

Quantum Scientist Patrick Coles Reveals How Tumors Protect Your Mitochondria From Toxic Overload Cancer might not be the enemy your doctor says it is. What if tumors are actually your body's emergency detox system, built on purpose to protect you from something far more dangerous? Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Patrick Coles, Ph.D., Chief Scientist at Normal Computing, where he develops novel computing hardware for AI applications. Previously a Staff Scientist at Los Alamos National Lab, Coles led their near-term quantum computing group and made significant contributions to quantum computing theory. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from UC Berkeley and a Master of Philosophy in Biochemistry from Cambridge, and he's currently developing a new theory for cancer and chronic disease, the subject of this conversation. His rare combination of hard physics and deep biochemistry gives him a radically different lens on one of medicine's most misunderstood diseases. Coles lays out his Toxin Sequestration Theory, a framework that reframes cancer tumors not as malignant accidents but as intentional storage vaults the body builds to sequester toxins, heavy metals, seed oils, mold, and excess glucose, away from healthy tissue and mitochondria. He and Dave connect the dots between this theory and chronic disease, biohacking fundamentals, and why chemotherapy itself behaves as a toxin that can backfire. They dig into oxalates, deuterium, linoleic acid, circadian biology, and the detox protocols that support the body's natural ability to shrink these toxic reservoirs. This conversation challenges the mainstream genetic theory of cancer, explores the metabolic theory popularized by Thomas Seyfried, and lands on a radical, functional medicine-aligned framework for anyone serious about longevity, anti-aging, and human performance. Dave and Coles also break down how sleep optimization, fasting, ketosis, and a carnivore approach to nutrition support the body's detox hierarchy, from fat tissue and the liver to moles, cysts, and eventually tumors themselves. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, functional medicine, mitochondria health, brain optimization, nootropics, and taking full control of their metabolism and longevity. You'll Learn: Why toxins may be the root cause of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, autism, and most chronic disease How Toxin Sequestration Theory reinterprets tumors as the body's backup detox organs Why chemotherapy ranks among the most tissue-damaging toxins, and what happens when a tumor bursts The role of oxalates, deuterium, heavy metals, and seed oils in cancer cell hoarding Why moles, cysts, lipomas, and nodules may be minor versions of the same detox response How circadian rhythm, sleep, and light exposure affect the body's toxin excretion cycles What spontaneous tumor regression reveals about lowering your toxic burden Why tracking tumor progression matters no matter which treatment path you choose Thank you to our sponsors! - Download Dave's Free Peptide Guide at daveasprey.com/peptide-guide. - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

Have you optimized your diet, dialed in your supplements, but you're still exhausted, foggy, and can't sleep? What if the missing piece isn't another protocol, but the fact that you're spending 93% of your life indoors? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. John La Puma to unpack the science behind his new book, Indoor Epidemic. We get into why the brightness of outdoor light governs half your genes, and why your bedtime predicts longevity better than your total hours of sleep. Dr. John explains the minimum effective dose of outdoor time your body needs, why "light first, coffee second" matters, and simple ways to turn nature into a free, powerful medical intervention.    "Having a two-hour forest bathing session can improve natural killer cell activity and number by 56%." ~ Dr. John La Puma   In This Episode: - What is the indoor epidemic? - How light sets your circadian rhythm - The 17-minute effective dose and morning light protocol  - How gardening impacts the microbiome - Additional tips to explore outdoors more - Benefits of watching the sunrise and sunset - The 7-day Outdoor Rx reset program - Where to get Dr. John's book and more resources   Products & Resources Mentioned: Dr. John La Puma's Book, Indoor Epidemic: 93% Inside Steals Sleep, Focus & Years - The 7% Outdoor Rx Restores Them: https://indoorepidemic.com  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at trytruenergy.com/wendy5   Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. John La Puma: John La Puma, MD, ChefMD, is a two-time New York Times bestselling author, board-certified internist, and professionally trained chef who pioneered Culinary Medicine. He now pioneers EcoMedicine from his small regenerative teaching farm.

What if Circadian Rhythm and Hormone Balance starts with something as simple as stepping outside every morning?     Host Lisa Fischer welcomes Jonathan Jarecki for an eye-opening discussion on how sunlight influences nearly every system in the human body. From the latest longevity research to the hidden dangers of artificial lighting, Jonathan explains why light is much more than a source of vitamin D—it acts as one of the body's most powerful biological signals.     Throughout the episode, Lisa and Jonathan explore studies involving hundreds of thousands of participants, debunk myths about melanoma, explain the difference between healthy sun exposure and sunburn, discuss vitamin D supplements versus natural sunlight, and reveal how indoor lighting may impact blood sugar, mitochondrial health, sleep, and overall wellness.     Whether you're already exploring circadian health or just beginning your journey, you'll leave this episode with practical strategies you can start using today.    

For part two of our conversation with Dr. Kevin Haney and Alex Beaumont of The Edge at Pinnacle Point, we get into why Dr. Haney got into men's wellness, how Alex came to work for him, the challenges of opening a new clinic during covid, and the importance of maintaining healthy hormone levels. Also, when recording, sometimes we don't get everything out that we want to and that happened this time, so we'd like to give a shout-out to Dani, the medical scribe on Alex's team. And as always, give it a listen, it's a good one. #Testosterone #MensHealthMatters #trt #HRT #wellness #healthyliving 

Your environment becomes biological information.The light entering your eyes…the noise reaching your ears…the messages appearing on your phone…the emotional energy in the room…the people sitting beside you…the amount of safety or uncertainty you feel…Your nervous system is always receiving information.Always interpreting.Always asking:“Am I safe here?”“Do I need to be alert?”“Can I recover?”“Is it time to perform?”“Is it safe to let my guard down?”Your nervous system does not exist in isolation.Your nervous system lives somewhere.And where it lives matters.Resources:Brain.fm App (First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

SHOWNOTES:

Most of us live in a light-deprived world. We spend less than 15 minutes outside daily—despite thinking we're outdoors for hours—leaving our circadian rhythms dangerously misaligned. In this episode, Dr. Jamie Zeitzer and Lucas Tang of Lumos Glasses break down how light acts as a conductor, orchestrating every system in your body: your sleep, mood, metabolism, and immune function.

Episode Highlights With KatieThe real story behind baby #7 and the hardest year of my life — not the polished version, but the honest journey of what it looked like behind the scenes.The unexpected prayer that changed everything and what happened when I asked life to shake up anything that wasn't rooted in love and kindness.What it felt like to walk through a season where I couldn't fix, plan, or control my way out — and the lessons I learned from finally letting go.Navigating an unexpected pregnancy, the emotions I wrestled with, and how this season transformed my relationship with trust, surrender, and acceptance.My experience with a darkness retreat and what facing my deepest fears taught me about becoming a different version of myself.Why this was emotionally my hardest pregnancy but physically my easiest, and the health practices that supported me through it, including nutrition, movement, circadian rhythms, and stress reduction.Redefining what it means to be alone, finding deeper support through family and community, and discovering that a full life doesn't require everything to look the way I once imagined.What I learned about hard seasons: don't judge the story from the middle. How sometimes the things that feel like they're breaking us are making space for something new.HiyaHiya created a super powered chewable vitamin for kids that packs twelve organic fruits and vegetables plus fifteen essential vitamins and minerals into every dose.

The best performers in the world have found a competitive edge that's completely free. You can use it too, and it starts tonight.When Dr Jemma King put wearables on Australia's Special Forces in 2017, the culture was "sleep when I'm dead". Within months, those same soldiers were showing off their recovery scores and competing over who slept the most. Not because they went soft. Because the data showed sleep was making them faster, sharper and safer, and elite performers chase anything that does that.Jemma has spent a decade measuring what great sleep unlocks in people whose decisions matter: Special Operations Command, Olympic swimmers, CEOs. Her conclusion is genuinely exciting. Sharp is recoverable at any age, and it doesn't take supplements or gadgets. It takes a handful of deliberate habits the world's best are already using.Jemma introduces you to the midnight librarian who explains your 3am wake-ups (and how to give her the night off), the express bus that takes you straight to deep sleep, and how to build your own Sleep First formula around your biology and your life.Your upgrade is waiting. 00:00 It's 3am.

You've no doubt heard references to the existence of body clocks, and it's no surprise because all of our bodily functions are regulated by the circadian system. To put it simply, our circadian rhythms optimise bodily functions. In this episode, we explain why it is important. They are managed by a master clock known as the circadian pacemaker which is formed of around 20,000 neurons. It's situated in the brain, more specifically in the hypothalamus. The sleep-wake cycle is an obvious example of a circadian rhythm. But these cycles help many other systems to function too, like hunger, organ activity, memory consolidation and pain perception. The word “circadian” actually comes from the Latin “circa diem”, meaning “around a day”. What are the dangers of a disrupted circadian rhythm? What's the best way to stop circadian rhythms from getting disrupted? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Can you train yourself to become a night owl—or an early bird? Millions of people try. They force themselves to stay up later, wake up earlier, or work overnight because that's what life demands. But can your body really adapt? Or is there a biological clock inside you that simply refuses to cooperate? Scientists now know that your circadian rhythm governs much more than when you feel sleepy. It helps regulate your energy, mood, memory, metabolism, immune system, hormones, and even your risk for a surprising number of chronic diseases. When that internal clock falls out of sync with the schedule you keep, the consequences can range from feeling groggy and unfocused to serious long-term health problems. So how much control do you really have over your body clock? Why do some people naturally spring out of bed at dawn while others come alive after dark? What actually happens when you regularly ignore your body's signals? And what are the simple changes that can help you work with your circadian rhythm instead of constantly fighting it? Russell Foster joins me to explain the remarkable science of the body's internal clock and why understanding it may be one of the most important—and overlooked—keys to better sleep, better health, and better performance. Russell is Professor of Circadian Neuroscience and Director of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford. He is author of Life Time: Your Body Clock and Its Essential Roles in Good Health and Sleep (https://amzn.to/3QQGZ6v). Whether you think of yourself as an early bird, a night owl, or somewhere in between, this conversation may completely change the way you think about sleep—and about time itself.

Your brain may be stuck in survival mode. That could be why fatigue, brain fog, and poor sleep refuse to budge no matter what you try. People with Long COVID, ME/CFS, and chronic fatigue often do everything right: clean up their diet, run labs, try every supplement, and they still don't recover. In this conversation, Patrick Porter, PhD, founder of BrainTap, explains why nervous system regulation may be the piece that keeps getting skipped. We cover how stress recovery, brainwave training, sleep quality, and brain fitness affect energy production, mental clarity, and the body's ability to heal.

304: Today I'm joined by Dr. Charlie Fagenholz to discuss frequency medicine, muscle testing, and the hidden factors that may be affecting our health. We explore the connection between emotional trauma and physical symptoms, how mold, parasites, glyphosate, and environmental toxins can impact the body, and why many people struggle to find answers through conventional approaches alone. We also dive into circadian rhythms, EMFs, gallbladder health, and the importance of getting back to the basics when it comes to healing. This is a fascinating conversation about root-cause health, modern environmental stressors, and the powerful connection between the mind and body.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the key to calming your nervous system, sleeping deeper, and healing from the inside out was as simple as light?In this episode, host Jen sits down with Kristen Spielman—registered nurse and longevity specialist—to explore the science of red light therapy and photobiomodulation. Together, they unpack how cellular energy directly impacts your nervous system, why chronic inflammation fuels anxiety, and how red and near-infrared light can help your body shift out of fight-or-flight mode and into true rest and repair.Whether you're struggling with chronic stress, poor sleep, or pain—or simply looking to glow from the inside out—this conversation will leave you inspired and informed.To purchase face ($395) mask, email info@vitaeskin.com mention Exalted Health for $50 off. Red light belt How's My Nervous System Quiz     I Connect with us at Exalted Health

More than just a game—Knicks overcoming odds in game 4 comeback is a parable of resilience; A one and done lifetime cholesterol fix via gene modification; Will cataract surgery interfere with benefits of light exposure? Do amounts of vitamin A in various supplements taken together court the risk of toxicity? Smartphones and social media create real harm for adolescents; Experts determine the exact right amount of sleep down to the minute—but is it overreach? 

I speak with Johnathan Jarecki, undergraduate science student and host of The Signal Podcast, on all things photobiology. We discuss the full solar spectrum and how ultraviolet, visible, blue, red and near-infrared light each affect human physiology, including the POMC pathway, nitric oxide and blood pressure, and the evidence on sunlight, skin cancer and the vitamin D paradox. We also discuss how artificial light at night suppresses melatonin and disrupts the circadian control of DNA repair, cardiovascular health, and metabolism. TIMESTAMPS03:25 Dr. Max Gulhane04:02 Dr. Gulhane's Love for Science and Medicine09:01 What is Light?12:52 Sunlight Broken Down as a Nutrient14:02 Ultraviolet Light: Sunlight Is More Than Vitamin D15:56 POMC21:38 UVA/UVB on Cardiometabolic Health24:40 Big Picture of UV Light28:41 Sunlight, Skin Cancer, Dermatology Messaging, The Vitamin D Paradox35:10 Blue Light, Artificial Light at Night (ALAN), Mechanisms38:50 Sponsor: Daylight Computer40:34 ALAN, Epidemiology, Cancer, Heart Disease45:04 DNA Repair Mechanisms, Circadian Control47:27 Melanopsin (OPN4), Blue Light, UV Susceptibility53:25 Red, Infrared, Photobiomodulation, Metabolism01:00:08 Blue Light, Metabolism, and the Built Environment01:05:19 Photobiology of Atherosclerosis01:10:11 Blue Light on Cardiovascular Function01:12:25 Three M's of Circadian Health01:18:43 Sunlight, Testosterone, and Reproductive BehaviorFull show notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15zOnh_l6WOe6237CbQrFPkeoQjUZXIm9Ul4ncQTNXDQ/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0Show sponsors:

Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain. Today, I'm joined by Skye Waterson for our Research Recap series. In this series, we take a look at a single research paper and dive into what the paper says, how it was conducted, and try to find any practical takeaways. In this episode, we're going to be discussing a paper called "ADHD as a Circadian Rhythm Disorder: Evidence and Implications for Chronotherapy." Now, this is a perspective paper looking at the available research on circadian rhythm dysfunction in ADHD and what works for correcting some of that dysfunction. So as we get into it, I think a great place for us to start is to talk about what a perspective paper is, because it's a little different than what we usually take on.

You already know sleep matters. What you don't know is why you keep waking up at 2 AM, why your tracker is probably lying to you, and why the rules you've been following may not be meant for you. Dr. Michael Breus is one of the world's leading sleep doctors - not just a sleep expert, but a clinical psychologist who actually treats patients and pressure-tests every theory in real life. The difference matters. The rule saying you need a pitch-black, 65-degree room with no TV and no partner? He sleeps with two French bulldogs and a big screen on. His point isn't that sleep hygiene doesn't matter. It's that it has to work for your actual life. One thing that might reshape how you think about your body: every human on earth wakes up between 1 and 3 AM. It's biology. Your core body temperature drops to prevent hypothermia, and your body briefly surfaces. Most people roll over and go back to sleep. If you don't, the fix isn't pills - it's understanding what's happening and using tools like 4-7-8 breathing to lower your heart rate below 60 and let sleep return naturally. Your chronotype - lion, bear, wolf, or dolphin - is genetic. It shifts across your lifetime. Forcing a wolf to be a lion doesn't make them a better performer; it makes them worse. The biggest unlock, according to Dr. Breus, isn't more sleep. It's doing the right things at the right time for your specific biology. Dr. Breus has a five-step daily framework he gives every patient. It's specific, it's sequenced, and most people are violating at least three of the steps without knowing it. Dr. Breus's books: Sleep Drink Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health Energize!: Go from Dragging Ass to Kicking It in 30 Days The Power of When: Discover Your Chronotype and the Best Time to Eat Lunch, Ask for a Raise, Have Sex, Write a Novel, Take Your Meds, and More The Sleep Doctor's Diet Plan: Lose Weight Through Better Sleep Beauty Sleep: Look Younger, Lose Weight, and Feel Great Through Better Sleep Take The Chronotype Quiz!
