Dr. Satchin Panda-The Circadian Code

Dr. Satchin Panda is a professor at The Salk Institute, California. His lab studies how circadian rhythm in metabolism is an integral part of metabolic health and longevity. In preclinical animal models, he discovered that consuming all calories within a consistent 8-12 hours or time-restricted feeding can sustain daily rhythms in anabolic and catabolic metabolism. Such temporal regulation of metabolism can prevent or reverse chronic diseases and increase lifespan. To translate his preclinical findings to improve human health, his lab has developed an app-myCircadianClock. This app is being used to study the epidemiology of daily pattern of activity, sleep and food intake and to run parallel interventional studies to test the impact of time-restricted feeding on various chronic diseases.
