Light runs one clock in your body. Food runs a completely different set of clocks — in our gut, our liver, our metabolism. And when those two signals misalign, we can negatively influence our health.
This episode digs into meal timing through the lens of chrononutrition: the real science behind when we eat, what it does to the gut microbiome, and why a late-night dinner isn't just a calorie decision. Plus: what happens to your gut's rhythm after a disrupted week, and my own decades-long, still-imperfect evolution of meal timing and the pitfalls I mostly can now avoid!
