Health lies in healthy circadian habits | Satchin Panda | TEDxBeaconStreet
Every organ and even every cell in our body has circadian or 24 h clock. Circadian clocks turn on and off thousands of genes at the right time of the day or night.
I started doing this a week ago and went from previously waking up in the night between 1am and 3am regularly to sleeping right through the night, from day 1 of restricted eating (between 7am and 7pm). I have slept right through every night and had a really deep, sleep. Try it, it works!!
I worked overnight shift(11pm-7am) for a year and a half. It was not uncommon for me to go 24-36 hrs with no sleep and then sleep for 3-5 hours and do it again. I was under severe stress. And then 5 months in I got white coating on my tongue which was Candida taking over because the gut is connected to you circadian clock. Shortly after that I got depression where I thought about suicide(never thought about actually taking my life but I thought how great it would be if a car would just hit me and get it over with). First 3 weeks after quitting the overnight shift I felt like a zombie during the day. It took me a few months to fully get use to being awake in the daytime and sleeping during the might again. I honestly don’t know how in the world there are people who work overnight shift for 10 plus years.
I would gladly eat only in 10-11 hours timespan most of the week, but I start work at 9:30am and I exercise twice a week between 7-8pm and 10pm. I keep hearing that you need to eat after a workout, so I am kind stuck here 🙁 (yes I know you're going to say "just exercise during the day" but I can't, it's classes I take and I can only go AFTER work, since I work full time.)
The one thing at confuses me the most of Satchin Pandas work is what takes priority – light or eating window? What if my eating window is 8 hours but doesn't end until midnight? 2am?
Sorry to say, but the thing with keeping circadian rhythm after closing someone in apartment just isn't true. There was some experiments with closing people in caves without time clues – lengths of phases of their days have changed. But great talk anyway!
Regarding the last experiment at 8:55 where one mouse eats at night and the other eats at both night and day – which is the one he is saying is healthier?
"I truly believe that circadian rhythm has untapped potential to prevent, manage, and cure many of the chronic diseases that affect billions of people." Satchin Panda, 'Health lies in healthy circadian habits'.
If the newly discovered light receptor is for blue light, maybe wearing blue light blocking lenses at night might help keep from interrupting the circadian rhythms.
Does this mean that actually staring at your phone in the morning is beneficial, as the blue light from the screen will activate the melanopsin?
Nice
I thought earphones would make his accent more clear. I was wrong.
So is it better to have chemo early or later? Don’t bring it up then not answer it!! Wtf. I had to take chemo early I hope I got the right time gezzz
I have laid in bed for hours and can’t sleep so got something to eat then easily fell asleep. What gives?
The best on the planet!!
Ever!!
So much important knowledge about our own bodies!
9:15 you can some good examples of people who doesn't have good circadian clock. Luckily they made the fist good step by attending this conference
I'm proud that you are Indian to research this.
if we drink only water in the night so will it be considered as end point of diet window
Wonderful research, thanks Doctor!
It's already being practised by followers of jain religion science thousand of years, here in india.

My circadian clock is literally upside down. I fall asleep at 6:00 am to 9:00 am and wake up anywhere from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Snake diet guy sent me here.
Excellent information and well delivered. This is data at its finest. Love it! Untapped potential!
Great video, I’m sold on only eating within an eight hour window of the day.

amazing and evidence-based! I would like to learn on circadian rhythms of our organs as well, and how we can adjust the time of taking supplements

watching this on a screen at night
Good stuff.
Thanks for the great talk!
Evidenced-based. Period. I'm sold. I'm in.
Ancient auyerveda talks about it … pride that scientists are discovering our ancient scientific wisdom

Amazing
intermittent fasting! amazing.

But great talk anyway!
My mind is blown! I knew about the light, but the food? Wtf!
Neat.
wow fabulous insight, thank you
Fascinating topic. Excellent speaker.
Regarding the last experiment at 8:55 where one mouse eats at night and the other eats at both night and day – which is the one he is saying is healthier?
It’s easy. Grounding. Sunlight. Whole Foods. Circadian biology. Fasting.

Satchin Panda Sir….Proud to be an Odia
So fasting really is a thing. Great new information!
Incredible! Really earth-shattering!
Nice name
I'm going to start spending 20 minutes outside first thing. Great talk!
