The Science of Time-Restricted Eating and Circadian Health
Dr. Satchin Panda from the Salk Institute explains how circadian rhythms regulate metabolism, why when you eat is as important as what you eat, and the optimal eating window for metabolic health.

Highlights
•
Time-restricted eating within 10 hours improves metabolic markers without calorie restriction
Panda: eating within a 10-hour window aligned with daylight produces improvements in blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation — independent of what or how much you eat. The circadian timing of food intake determines metabolic fate.•
Late-night eating disrupts sleep architecture — the metabolic cost extends beyond calories
Panda: eating within 3 hours of sleep onset disrupts deep sleep and REM architecture. The digestive process raises core body temperature and activates the GI tract, preventing the physiological cooling necessary for sleep initiation.Was this useful?
