Disciplines:
health
biology/circadian biology
time-restricted eating
sleep

Summary

Satchin Panda's 2019 guide to aligning behavior with circadian rhythms — explaining the science of circadian clocks in every body cell and providing protocols for timing eating, light exposure, exercise, and sleep to optimize health.

Core Contribution

Creates the circadian health protocol framework — The Circadian Code translates Panda's research (that every cell has a molecular clock, that eating, light, and activity patterns must be consistent to keep these clocks synchronized, and that desynchronization causes metabolic disease) into practical daily protocols.
