Chronobiology - How Circadian Rhythms Can Control Your Health and Weight

Wasn’t that chemo data wild? Amazing! And if you are on blood pressure medications, please share this video with your physician to ask to see if your timing is optimized.

Thinking of my sweet sister, Sandy, who died at age 37 after losing her lungs to chemo and radiation. I wish her doctors were better able to treat her. So much information of which our family wasn't aware 13 years ago.

[@0rz0rz0rz0rz]

HTN meds taken at night increase the risk of hypotension since the natural fluctuation has a drop in blood pressure at night. This is a risk for glaucoma patients to have hypoperfusion in the eye and progress their disease. Another factor to consider for this group of patients in optimization

I told my doctor for two years that my blood pressure medication worked better if I took it at night, and he would always tell me to take it in the morning every time I saw him, even when I showed him my daily logs of how different my blood pressure was when I did it his way. Eventually, I changed doctors, went plant-based, and gradually got off the BP medication over 2 MORE years. Im so glad I listened to my body.

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

As a former substance abuser it had occured to me that starting with a substance early in the morning has the biggest effect, so I totally believe these theories.

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

No worries there like most hooked substance abusers once you took a hit, you;ll need to score at least every 2 hours after that to maintain the happy state. And the fact that using BP medicine in the morning lead to more deaths probably indicates the side effects are more pronounced, something that in recreational use probably translates to a better high...

[@sigissigis3174]

Eating a large breakfast in the morning turned out to be THE solution to my snacking problem. I simply do not snack anymore. It's a freaking miracle. I used to think that snacking was a psychological issue rather than a nutritional one, it blew my mind. I've been doing it for 3 years now.

[@KT-ed8hj]

Can you explain why he says it's better to take medication later at night when he says it's better to eat earlier in the day?

[@RhymesWithPorridge]

I'm going to reiterate my rule of thumb here, as Dr. Gregor provided the evidence to back it up: eat for what you're doing in the next ~4 hours. Going to work? Going to work out? Eat big. Going to sleep? Eat small. The hardest part, in my experience, is eating a small dinner at a restaurant while everyone else at the table is piling on.

[@josethevegan8923]

That happens often, be an example and others will follow! They'll notice your eating... and call you strong for being able to fight the temptation, you know better and are just preventing decease.

[@Cin9999]

Brucking Filliant Well it this evidence doesnt mean that timing makes 100% difference...its just a small thing to considder

[@trevorregay9283]

Really depends on who is paying....if you are on company expense account pile it on and fast later....if not....eat small and pad the wallet!!

Wonderful presentation as always. I will respectfully say that having you on screen and all the studies popping up did become a bit distracting and I personally am able to absorb more info when you simply do a voice over while highlighting all the great information. Perhaps doing intros and outros where you are actively on screen and then cutting away to the old format in between? Just a thought. So grateful for this channel either way of course and I learned allot today. I just kept looking at you and then trying to read but then you again before finish reading because you are quite charismatic lol.

[@ylonmc2]

AFTER KETO REHAB nonsense

[@carlosaugusto9821]

That is an essential meal switch you need to make. The thing is that breakfast has to be considered with care. It must not be the traditional American breakfast for example, but that might be too obvious. Most of people's health issues related to eating style have to do with the early and/or late meal of the day. The nutrition has to be concentrated on the daylight period, leaving the smallest and lightest part for dinner

Sleep early and wake up earlier. How exactly? Dont mind those details and numbers too much, and besides, any person under the modern lifestyle has bad sleeping habits compared to "traditional societies". So just think as: earlier than your current sleeping time. Secondly, doing it so you sleep just enough and wake before sunrise.

[@ChristineNavarroTV]

NutritionFacts.org - Dr. Greger, I have some feedback on the new video format I hope you take into consideration. First, I want to thank you for the research you do and the service you provide - I’ve valued it very much for several years. With that, I find your new video format extremely distracting, as do many others. And I’ll point out from what I understand, why. We process information on a 2-dimensional screen that is trapped within a small frame very differently than we process information in 3D life. Long-form, in-person lectures are very differently received than short-form, or even long-form on-screen presentations. That’s why Theater acting and on-screen acting are worlds-apart different. This is why TV anchors and actors are framed within certain specifications, and elicit little to very controlled movements and limited emotional range/ movement/ expression. In a movie or TV show, if there’s more facial and bodily expression, they zoom out and frame it differently, and for a certain amount of time. Otherwise, it’s too much information/ stimulation to process at once. If you see hand gestures, they’re not 100% natural, and are trained/ well-practiced. I understand this from behind the camera, as I took on-camera classes in the past, gaining that perspective from the director. If there’s a certain amount of movement that happens, it becomes distracting, overwhelming, looks overly dramatic and over-the-top, and it’s literally too much information to process for people watching it. This is something I hated as when I would act for on-camera. I was very expressive and intense, and I felt I couldn’t fully be myself. When you’d express something dramatic, you’d have to learn to concentrate it while expressing a lot of stillness. Lots of movement is always too much for those watching on a little or even big screen, because you’re trying to portray 3D life as truly as possible within a concentrated 2D frame. Then we have you on one area of the screen, very animated with lots of movement, then additionally we have research papers and other images sliding back and forth in and out of the screen from another area of the screen, and then other images sliding in from the bottom of the screen at different times. Then we have the quality of sound which is super-clean, that sounds like a dubbed-in voiceover effect while we’re watching you “live”. I feel a disconnect there, almost like it’s an animated version of you paired with dubbed-in voiceover. Plus, we have to concentrate on, the single-most important thing - the audio information you’re delivering to us. All of this combined is a recipe for overwhelm - it’s chaotic. The most important information to be delivered is the audio, then visuals (without there being too many) to support the information being delivered to help the information to sink in. That’s it - more than that becomes a distraction. It’s over-production. I know producing these videos is a ton of work, and I think doing less with it would work in your and the viewers’ favor. If you really want to stick to this format, I’d say refine it and observe what professional news anchors do, and observe the pacing of supporting visuals that are added in, and the pacing of delivering the information. I still think the old format is ultimately much better, possibly with other small refinements added in. It’s like an injection of anaesthetic - you need to take your time with it for the patient and for their system to assimilate it well, if you do it too quickly it hurts like hell and is a disservice to the patient. I was seeing some replies saying that it’s the problem of who’s watching if they feel overwhelmed, lecturing them to get off their phones, etc. No, it’s not. I’ve not owned a TV since 2005, nor have I watched much for years before that to begin with. I haven’t watched movies for a long time, I’ve not listened to the radio since the mid-late 90s, I’ve not been a fan of popular culture and commercial media outlets since I was in my early teens, and the over-stimulation and also lack thereof that our culture provides. I’ve always searched for media, information, people, etc. that deeply resonated with me, outside of the norm, and sometimes within it. It’s our natural circuitry that can only truly focus on one thing at a time, and when you have several inputs coming in and out at different times at once, no room remains for our brains to process any of it. I’m the one that wants to rip out every single TV screen out of the “health” club when I’m in there, when I have no control seeing flashing screens somewhere in my periphery or right in front of my face with the stupid screens turning on automatically. Even when I turn it off, I’m forced to stare at it without feeling like my experience has been severely violated and sacrificed, and I can’t concentrate on working out and having a good time. Sorry, just overwhelmed with the mindlessness and stupidity we’re all swallowed in from day to day from automatic flushing toilets that flush every 20 seconds that splash up at you and waste several gallons of water from one quick sitting, to automatic faucets that turn on even if you’re just standing in front of a mirror and just want to tie your hair, to countless other stupid sh*t invented for the sake of “convenience”. On a rant of deep frustration and not related to what you’re doing - sorry. Thanks again for the work, and hope you take the info into consideration, as I value your information in the search for balance and sanity in a world full of stupid and mind-numbing, human potential retracting mechanisms.

[@magicalsimmy]

No, your insomnia won’t kill you, but the stress of believing it will might. I am a regular insomnia sufferer. One thing that helps me sleep is putting on a university lecture or long and in-depth video essay or movie review (RedLetterMedia have a lot that are 45m-60m long). They put me to sleep every time. ASMR videos are good for that as well, you just need to be careful to get videos where the commercials are all at the beginning. Mid-video and end video commercials always wake me up.

[@bramasca]

@@magicalsimmy and your circadian rhythm? They light from screens afect the serotonin levels.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

You actually need to set up a whole night time ritual for a cleaner sleep. That is vital and very serious. Your food and drinks, the things you watch or listen to, all that will have to be carefully observed and adjusted after some time at night, depending on your routine. (One exception is drinking something with caffeine at evening, that is done not at night but will still have to be observed, but i believe it's too obvious). After some time at night (maybe near 9pm but It depends) put those screen filter stuff on your phone, reduce highly stimulating actions the most you can, even resort to strong calming teas or something (just not synthetic please), switch off most lights at home if you can, and keep lights off in your room all the time, only with a non blue light source If you need, and just read physical books instead of texts in eletronic devices If you can. This is not something to be followed rigorously the same way for the rest of your life, but in the beginning It is. There are some (Very effective) dietary suggestions as well but it's not something that is supposed to work well in first place as a random KZbin comment. It requires a personal research and professional consultation.

Work on improving your concentration span and focus. You are aware that for generations a real person has stood at the front of a school or college classroom, and delivered lectures? The new format is fine.

[@ChristineNavarroTV]

profd65, no it’s not fine. It’s extremely distracting. It’s different when you’re receiving information in person in a classroom in long format. On a screen, it’s excruciatingly distracting to see him and his very animated movements while different slides are moving in and out. It has nothing to do with any inferiority on people’s attention spans. I haven’t owned a TV since 2005, and rarely watched for several years before that...but think about why TV anchors and actors don’t portray a lot of the natural movement in hand gesturing and moving their bodies side to side, back and forth. And when there are hand gestures, they’re very controlled, formulated and practiced. Because a certain amount of movement and even emotional expression is painfully distracting within the context of seeing it on a screen. I also understand this because I’ve taken on-screen acting classes, and that was something I hated because your range has to be minimized or else you look over the top, and overly dramatic, and overwhelming. And that’s why TV anchors are framed the way they are. In the past basically mid-chest up, now maybe a little more, but seated to constrain arm and bodily movements. The new format is horribly distracting - it’s about the information, not the presenter. I’m hoping Dr. Greger realizes it and goes back to the old format.
