Huberman Lab
The book was repeatedly highlighted for its guidance on using circadian timing and intermittent fasting to improve metabolism, liver and brain health, and to enhance exercise outcomes. Andrew Huberman introduced it in several episodes, noting its comprehensive coverage of feeding windows, light exposure, and hormone regulation. He consistently described it as an excellent and highly recommended resource for listeners interested in optimizing sleep, energy, and weight management.
Episode: Dr. Satchin Panda: Intermittent Fasting to Improve...
Dr. Panda has authored several important books on the topic of intermittent fasting, including this one which was described as providing information on how intermittent fasting can benefit various aspects of health.
Those books include the circadian code and a more recent book, the circadian diabetes code, both of which we've provided links to in the show note captions.
Episode: Dr. Samer Hattar: Timing Your Light, Food, & Exerc...
Dr. Huberman mentioned this book by Dr. Panda and highlighted its content about the importance of having a period of each 24-hour day in which we are not eating anything.
Such in we're referring to such in pandas where he wrote a beautiful book called the circadian code maybe Samar with with some luck you'll write a book as well um meaning the world would be lucky to have that book but such in data really strongly pointed the fact that liver health brain health metabolic factors and endocrine factors in various systems in organs all seem to benefit from having a period of each 24 hour day in which we are not eating anything and then eating it very regularly sometimes let's talk about eating in meal times and let's move a little bit away from the the science for the moment although we will return to it and talk a little bit more about your experience with eating in meal times so you're looking at shape lately thank you I know you've been putting work into it yeah we talk a lot and you've been exercising and you've been eating well meaning quality food you just came back from Jordan where I didn't assuming the food is amazing it's the food is amazing and honestly usually I gained a lot of weight in Jordan but this time I didn't gain any weight which was really nice so yeah you've you've when I met you you were probably about a hundred pounds heavier than you are now yeah 275 pounds I'm 219 that's crazy yeah you had a lot of vigor then and you have a lot of vigor now but I know that you undertook a very specific protocol in order to lose the weight based on your understanding of the circadian system and of light and appetite and mood maybe you could just tell us a little bit about what that schedule looks like and we realized that this is not a prescriptive for everybody but you found what worked for you yeah maybe just to describe those
I agree with such in spandas work that try to avoid eating when your system is supposed to be relaxing when you're supposed to be at non active time so you know limit your eating to the active time of your of your cycle and that seemed to be and Jo Takaash is doing some beautiful stuff on this that seems to be incredibly important for aspect of the circadian and for health and for health yeah I mean such in we're referring to such in pandas where he wrote a beautiful book called the circadian code maybe Samar with with some luck you'll write a book as well um meaning the world would be lucky to have that book but such in data really strongly pointed the fact that liver health brain health metabolic factors and endocrine factors in various systems in organs all seem to benefit from having a period of each 24 hour day in which we are not eating anything and then eating it very regularly sometimes let's talk about eating in meal times and let's move a little bit away from the the science for the moment although we will return to it and talk a little bit more about your experience with eating in meal times so you're looking at shape lately thank you I know you've been putting work into it yeah we talk a lot and you've been exercising and you've been eating well meaning quality food you just came back from Jordan where I didn't assuming the food is amazing it's the food is amazing and honestly usually I gained a lot of weight in Jordan but this time I didn't gain any weight which was really nice so yeah you've you've when I met you you were probably about a hundred pounds heavier than you are now yeah 275 pounds I'm 219 that's crazy yeah you had a lot of vigor then and you have a lot of vigor now but I know that you undertook a very specific protocol in order to lose the weight based on your understanding of the circadian system and of light and appetite and mood maybe you could just tell us a little bit about what that schedule looks like and we realized that this is not a prescriptive for everybody but you found what worked for you yeah maybe just to describe those
Episode: Maximizing Productivity, Physical & Mental Health...
This book describes how engaging in physical exercise while fasted can amplify the effects of that exercise, not just for sake of increasing the percentage of things like body fat burned et cetera, but for cellular health, liver health and the health of other organs.
He wrote a wonderful book called The Circadian Code.
Episode: How Hormones Control Hunger, Eating & Satiety
It was highly recommended by Andrew Huberman for its insights into circadian rhythms, retina neurons, and the relationship between feeding windows and health.
He has a book that's excellent called the circadian code that I highly recommend.
