Podcasts about Circadian rhythm

Amy MacIver is joined by Professor Elizabeth Mayne, a specialist haematologist and immunopathologist at the University of Cape Town, to unpack new research revealing how our immune system is influenced by light. A recent study from the University of Auckland found that neutrophils — the body’s most abundant white blood cells — are more effective at killing bacteria during the day, thanks to an internal, light-sensitive circadian clock. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

In this episode, Chitra Eder and I explore one of the most powerful yet often overlooked keys to well-being during perimenopause and menopause: the natural daily clock.Both Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine mapped out daily rhythms based on the flow of energy through the body and the world around us. Long before modern science spoke of circadian rhythms, these traditions understood how time, energy, and health are intimately connected.But in today's world, shaped by productivity culture, artificial light, and constant demands, we've lost touch with these natural cycles. The result? Exhaustion, poor sleep, erratic digestion, and emotional overwhelm that so many of us experience in midlife.In this episode, we discuss:* The Ayurvedic and TCM daily clocks what they are, how they differ, and where they beautifully align.* The impact of modern life and patriarchal systems on our natural rhythms.* How menopausal symptoms intensify when we're out of sync with biological time.* Simple, doable steps to reconnect with nature's flow, including meal timing, rest, and honoring your energy.You'll come away with fresh insights and practical tips to help you live more in tune with your body's natural intelligence, even in a fast-paced world. This is about listening, aligning, and gently reclaiming your rhythm.So here's a question we invite you to reflect on as you listen:What do you struggle with most when trying to harmonize your day with your natural daily clock?

We often think of gut health as a matter of diet. What we eat, how we digest, and how we eliminate. But what if your digestive issues, bloating, or IBS symptoms aren't just physical? What if your gut is holding onto unprocessed emotional trauma, stress, and nervous system dysregulation? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by Christy Nault, a root cause health practitioner and founder of Hormone Glow Up and Microflow Healing. Christy sits down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful conversation about the connection between trauma and gut health, and how healing begins not with food, but with safety in the nervous system. Together, we explore how chronic stress, childhood trauma, and perfectionism deplete our minerals, disrupt digestion, and throw off our hormones, metabolism, and mental health. Christy shares her own story of living with POTS, IBS, endometriosis, and mass cell activation syndrome, and how her recovery began through parasite cleansing, circadian rhythm regulation, and somatic healing. This episode isn't about a one-size-fits-all gut protocol. It's about understanding the gut-brain connection, why your symptoms may keep returning, and how nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and personalized healing can restore your health from the inside out. If you've struggled with leaky gut, autoimmune symptoms, histamine intolerance, or protocols that didn't work, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate path forward. Topics discussed in this episode: ● The gut as an emotional and sensory organ ● How chronic stress depletes minerals and slows digestion ● Parasite cleansing and root-cause gut healing ● Why top-down protocols often fail without nervous system regulation ● The impact of childhood trauma on long-term health ● Gut-brain axis, emotional suppression, and vagal tone ● Circadian rhythms, blue light, and hormonal regulation ● Emotional digestion vs. food digestion ● Somatic tools for safe and effective healing ● Why small daily shifts create the deepest change Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: neurosomatic.com/leadership   Learn more about Christy Nault's work at: Website: christynault.com Instagram: instagram.com/itschristynault Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the fall cohort now: neurosomaticintelligence.com Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: YouTube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

I'm going to review the cortisol and exercise connection or confusion… and offer some solutions. Feeling exhausted, frustrated and fat? Got stubborn belly fat you want to lose? You're exercising but tired all the time? Sleep or don't, and you're still never rested?  Sound familiar or been there? This episode is PACKED with solutions on cortisol and exercise in menopause. Don't miss it.   What is Cortisol? Your body's primary stress hormone, but it's also your energy hormone. Regulates metabolism, immune response, and stress. Mental and emotional response to stress. For women in midlife, perimenopause or postmenopause, how cortisol behaves is everything.   Cortisol Follows Your Circadian Rhythm Morning: Cortisol spikes – helps you get up, feel alert, burn fat, and stabilize blood sugar. Evening: Cortisol drops – when melatonin (your sleep hormone) takes over. Disruptions to Circadian Rhythm – chronic stress, fatigue, overexercising, late-night screen time keep cortisol elevated when it should be dropping.   HPA Axis Dysfunction (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal) Your body's stress thermostat — when it's overworked, it breaks. Constant demand leads to adrenal insufficiency.  HPA Axis dial things down to protect you and that's when you hit a wall: You're tired but wired. You can't sleep or sleep all day. Your blood sugar is out of whack — hello cravings and midsection weight gain. Workouts leave you exhausted instead of energized.   Work Out Doesn't Work Anymore? Cortisol Chaos When your old workouts become stressors instead of solutions. Workouts add fuel to the fire. Solution: Cortisol-Conscious Movement The right exercise, at the right time, for the right reason.   The Cortisol–Thyroid–Adrenal Triangle Cortisol: Regulates blood sugar and inflammation. Thyroid: Controls metabolism — but sensitive to cortisol imbalances. Adrenals: Produces cortisol — but burns out if they're overstimulated. If cortisol stays high, the thyroid slows metabolism. That's when fat loss becomes frustrating, no matter how you eat or train.   The Influence of Cortisol and Exercise in Menopause    Cortisol During Perimenopause and Postmenopause Hormonal Fluctuations Decline in estrogen and progesterone affects cortisol regulation. Increased sensitivity to stress and potential for cortisol imbalance. Symptoms of Elevated Cortisol Weight gain, especially around the abdomen. Sleep disturbances and fatigue. Mood swings and anxiety    Symptoms of Low Cortisol  Fatigue - in spite of rest Low Blood Pressure, weakness   Loss of Appetite    Know When You Are On An Allostatic Load When you reach a tipping point, overloaded by chronic stress. Different kinds of stressors: Emotional Relationship Financial Work Home Hormonal Change Physical (diet & sleep) Exercise   The Good News: Cortisol Isn't Your Enemy Cortisol isn't bad. It's misunderstood. When it works with you, it helps you burn fat, stay focused, and bounce back fast. The key is restoring rhythm — using smart, intentional exercise and lifestyle upgrades that rebalance your body's natural stress-response system.   Exercise and Cortisol Impact of Exercise on Cortisol Levels High-intensity workouts can spike cortisol levels. (it's natural!!)  Chronic overtraining may lead to sustained high cortisol and adrenal fatigue . Timing Matters Morning workouts align with natural cortisol peaks. Evening high-intensity workouts may disrupt sleep and cortisol rhythm .   Managing Cortisol Levels Lifestyle Strategies Prioritize sleep and stress management techniques. Incorporate relaxation practices like yoga and meditation, box breathing. Nutrition Tips Maintain stable blood sugar with balanced meals. Limit caffeine and alcohol intake Avoid strict keto or carnivore and include resistant starches  Exercise Recommendations Focus on low-to-moderate intensity and short duration workouts. Include restorative activities and avoid overtraining. Supplement Recommendations B vitamins and magnesium are depleted by stress.  Maca (Find Femminescense here) is an adaptogen.  Ashwagandha can also be helpful for some.  Cortisol Manager (available online) contains some of the above.   Solutions To Your Questions on Cortisol and Exercise in Menopause   Q: Can I recover from adrenal issues on my own? A: Yes, but only if you actually slow down and stop pushing through it. Most women make the mistake of thinking rest is weakness. It's not. Recovery starts when you listen to your body's signals instead of ignoring them. Dial down high-intensity workouts (for now), focus on sleep, manage blood sugar, and pull in the right kind of movement — walking, yoga, strength training with intention. Identifying how deep your HPA Axis dysfunction goes.  Recovery is possible — but not if you keep acting like nothing's wrong.   Q: How long will it take to recover? A: That depends on how long you've been burned out… and whether you actually change your behavior. Mild adrenal fatigue: 4–6 weeks of rest + smart training + nutrition can turn things around. Moderate dysfunction: 3–6 months to really feel like yourself again. Severe HPA Axis dysfunction or adrenal insufficiency: 6–12 months of consistent changes, possibly with functional support. Reminder: The sooner you start, the faster you bounce back.   Q: Will I lose this weight once I fix my cortisol issues? A: Most likely — yes. If cortisol is the reason for your stubborn midsection fat, fixing it is a prerequisite to fat loss. Cortisol dysregulation = insulin resistance, blood sugar swings, cravings, and metabolism slowdown. When cortisol normalizes, your thyroid, adrenals, and metabolism start cooperating again. But here's the kicker: you can't “outwork” cortisol. You have to work with it.

Neurobiologist Jamie Zeitzer is an expert on sleep – or, more accurately, an expert on why so many can't sleep. He notes that, ironically, it's often anxiety about sleep that prevents good sleep. In short, we lose sleep over lost sleep. Wearables and other tools can help but only to a point, and medications do not induce natural sleep. Instead, he counsels consistent routines, less stimulation at bedtime, and cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce worry about insomnia. Unfortunately, you can't work harder to get better sleep – you have to learn to relax, Zeitzer tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

This episode explores chrono-nutrition, the science of aligning meal timing with your body's natural rhythms (circadian clock). Studies show that eating breakfast is linked to significantly greater weight loss and improved metabolic health compared to eating dinner. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding your chronotype (Lion, Bear, Wolf, or Dolphin) to optimize meal timing for better energy, digestion, sleep, and overall well-being. Irregular eating patterns disrupt internal clocks, leading to issues like insulin resistance, poor sleep, and weight gain. #weightloss #diet #wellness ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!

You don't need another expert telling you to “get off your phone” or “try magnesium.” You probably already know what helps with sleep. The harder part? Actually doing it—consistently, night after night.In this solo episode, Blaine lays it out straight: better sleep isn't about chasing the next trick—it's about showing up for the simple things that work. She connects the dots between light exposure, bedtime routines, old wisdom, and modern behavioral tools that (surprise!) all say the same thing: your body wants rhythm, not randomness.This episode is equal parts practical, grounded, and honest. If your sleep is off and you're ready to stop treating it like a side project, press play.What she covers:Why light is your body's favorite sleep medicineNot a supplement. Not a sleep spray. Natural light—especially in the morning and evening—can re-sync your internal clock more powerfully than most people realize. Blaine explains how to work with it, not against it.The little habits that quietly sabotage restFrom screen time to late dinners, these might seem harmless, but they add up. This part isn't about shame—it's about noticing what's actually making it harder to wind down (and what's not worth stressing over).A behavioral approach that skips the fluff CBT-I is one of the most researched methods for sleep. Blaine gives a down-to-earth overview of how it works and why it might be worth looking into if your nights are consistently rough.What waking up at 2 a.m. might be telling youTraditional systems like Chinese medicine have long understood the body's nighttime patterns. Learn why those specific hours might not be random—and what you can do with that information.Blaine's Core Message:If you want better sleep, you have to commit to change. Routine, consistency, and respect for your body's rhythms—not quick fixes—are what lead to lasting rest and healing.

Can "quantum biology" explain why even the healthiest people are still getting sick? In this episode, Dr. Alison Monette reveals why circadian rhythm health is the true foundation of wellness, not diet, exercise, or even supplements. She explains how morning sunlight, light exposure, and your alignment with natural cycles may matter more than anything else you're doing right now.We go deep into how Dr. Monette went from owning a CrossFit gym and practicing functional medicine, to discovering that even those models were still too centralized. Through her personal health journey and treating thousands of patients, she realized that quantum biology and decentralized health are the missing pieces, especially for those who are doing everything “right” and still not getting results.This conversation is for anyone who's burned out on biohacking, confused by contradictory nutrition advice, or who wants a simple, grounded way to build resilient, lifelong health. We unpack why blue light may be silently wrecking your sleep, how to use sunlight to reset your metabolism, and why your mitochondria are the real key to wellness. It's not about optimizing harder, it's about aligning smarter.If you've ever felt like modern life is out of sync with your biology, this episode will hit home. Plus, we explore how this all connects to Bitcoin, self-sovereignty, and why El Salvador might be the perfect place to reclaim your health.Subscribe, leave a comment with your biggest takeaway, and share this with someone who needs to hear it before they buy another supplement or sign up for another fitness challenge.Learn more about Dr. Alison Monettehttps://www.avenamedical.com/https://www.facebook.com/avenamedical/# Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: @BitcoinBeachIG: @bitcoinbeach_svTikTok: @livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: bitcoinbeach.comTimestamps:00:00 What does it mean to decentralize your health?08:00 Why functional medicine may still be too centralized12:45 Are CrossFit and extreme fitness harming your long-term health?19:00 How quantum biology reframed Dr. Monette's entire medical practice26:30 What is the most important lab test for inflammation?35:00 How circadian rhythm controls your metabolism and sleep41:00 Why morning sunlight is the most powerful health intervention48:30 Is intermittent fasting actually making things worse?57:00 What melatonin really does and how to naturally produce it1:10:00 Is sunscreen helping or harming your skin health?1:25:00 The connection between Bitcoin, sovereignty, and health decentralization#circadianrhythm #quantumbiology #biohackinglightLive From Bitcoin Beach

Send us a message!For many women in midlife, changes in sleep patterns, energy levels, and even weight can feel confusing and frustrating. What's often overlooked is how menopause and modern life together disrupt our natural circadian rhythms—the internal clocks that regulate nearly every system in the body. When circadian rhythms fall out of sync, it doesn't just affect sleep; it can also impact hormonal balance, mood, metabolic health, and even long-term disease risk. Yet most of us have no idea how much these hidden clocks influence our daily lives—or how to get them back on track.In this episode, I'm joined by longtime friend and science journalist Lynne Peeples, author of The Inner Clock: Living in Sync with Our Circadian Rhythms. Lynne shares what inspired her to dive into the science of circadian rhythms, why menopause can further dampen our internal clocks, and the powerful strategies she uses to realign them. We also explore the emerging research on time-restricted eating, medication timing, and how small daily shifts can help improve sleep, mood, and overall health.ReferencesCenter for Environmental TherapeuticsConnect with Lynne PeeplesThe Inner Clock: Living in Sync with Our Circadian Rhythms by Lynne PeeplesWebsiteConnect with me:TikTokInstagramEastside Menopause & MetabolismAudio Stamps00:40 - Dr. Patil-Sisodia welcomes longtime friend Lynne Peeples to discuss her new book, The Inner Clock, and the powerful impact of circadian rhythms on our health.02:52 - Lynne shares what sparked her interest in circadian rhythms.07:40 - We learn how the timing of certain medications can impact their effectiveness, with some showing better results when taken at specific times of day.11:35 - Lynne explains that circadian rhythms involve multiple internal clocks, and our chronotype is based on how we respond to light and sleep patterns.16:06 - Find out how shift work and modern life disrupt our circadian rhythms, affecting health and chronotype.20:08 - How circadian science, particularly time-restricted eating, shows promise in improving metabolic health by aligning eating windows with natural body rhythms.24:38 - Lynne explains how menopause dampens circadian rhythms, affecting hormones, sleep, and metabolic health.28:04 - Lynne shares the strategies she uses to improve her circadian rhythms, including 3 key lifestyle adjustments that support better sleep and overall health.Thanks for listening.

In this interview,  Alexis Cowan, Ph.D., a molecular biologist from Princeton, uses her deep knowledge of molecular biology, particularly her passion for light, circadian rhythms and mitochondrial health, and offers a fresh perspective on optimizing your well-being.

Welcome to the Triple P Life Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Jay LaGuardia dives deep into a topic rarely discussed but profoundly impacting your daily life - circadian rhythms. Dr. Jay explores how these internal 24-hour cycles regulate everything from sleep and hormone production to metabolism and cognitive function. If you've ever felt off after daylight saving time changes or struggled with energy levels despite doing "everything right," this episode reveals the missing piece of your health puzzle. What You'll Learn: What circadian rhythms actually are - Your body's internal 24-hour clock controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus in your hypothalamus The power of light as the primary environmental cue that dictates your body's rhythms and overall health How sunlight functions as a nutrient containing a full spectrum of light frequencies (infrared, ultraviolet, and ambient) that each play unique roles in your biology Why your mitochondria are light-sensitive and how different light frequencies optimize their function The dangers of EMF exposure from modern technologies and practical steps to reduce your exposure Why children are more vulnerable to EMF radiation than adults due to thinner skulls and rapidly changing cells The truth about sunlight exposure - it's not the sun that's harmful, but rather the length of exposure and dietary factors like seed oils How to optimize your circadian rhythms through strategic light exposure, meal timing, exercise, and sleep practices Practical Strategies You Can Implement Today: Reduce EMF exposure by using speakerphone instead of holding your phone to your ear, keeping devices off your body, and putting your WiFi router on a timer at night Optimize sun exposure by getting morning sunlight, gradually building your "solar callus," and reducing seed oils in your diet Enhance indoor environments with full spectrum lighting (aim for 10,000 lux) and open windows for unfiltered sunlight Block blue light in the evening using blue-light blocking glasses and device filters Maintain consistent meal times with larger meals during daylight hours Exercise strategically with morning workouts and avoiding intense exercise before bed Support sleep quality by keeping your bedroom cool (around 60-63°F) and considering supplements like magnesium or glycine if needed Dr. Jay emphasizes that understanding and optimizing your circadian rhythms isn't just about better sleep—it's about enhancing your energy, metabolism, longevity, and overall daily performance by aligning your lifestyle with your natural biological clock.

In this science-backed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling explore how your body's internal clock dramatically impacts fasting effectiveness and metabolic health. The hosts reveal research showing that identical meals eaten at different times of day produce completely different blood sugar responses—with evening meals causing 17% higher glucose spikes and 20% lower insulin effectiveness. They explain why shifting your eating window earlier in the day can significantly improve weight loss, even without changing your food choices. The episode offers practical strategies for aligning your fasting schedule with your circadian biology, including morning and evening light exposure tips, consistent sleep patterns, and meal timing adjustments that make fasting more effective. Whether you're struggling with a weight loss plateau or looking to optimize your fasting routine, this episode provides actionable steps to harness your body's natural rhythms for better results.
