Aliquot #99: The Science of Meal Timing: Can the Clock Influence Nutritional Impact? (TRE Series Part 2)
Time-restricted eating involves consuming meals within a specific daily time window. However, choosing the optimal time frame for that window is influenced by many factors, the most important of which is circadian rhythmicity, which alters our body's metabolic responses to food. Adjusting our meal times to align with these regular rhythms may optimize our metabolic health. In this Aliquot, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses meal frequency and timing and their implications for human health.
