Circadian Rhythm and Intermittent Fasting for Healthy Lifespan
What if one of the clearest signs of health is something you can feel every day? In this program, Satchidananda Panda, Ph.D. (Salk Institute), describes circadian rhythm as a built-in 24-hour daily rhythm “written in our DNA,” and he calls it a powerful biomarker of whether we’re healthy. He connects that internal timing system to…
