Buddha’s Diet by Tara Cottrell and Dan Zigmond
We’re excited to announce that research from our lab on time restricted feeding will be featured in a new book called Buddha’s Diet is coming out on September 6th (available for pre-order now)!

Minding your clock: Interview with long-time user of TRF
When Lynn was in high school, her dad wanted to lose weight. He began cutting out his late night snacks, and Lynn’s mom began cooking dinner earlier in the evening to help with the diet. As a result, Lynn usually had her last meal around 4:30pm each day, and she avoided snacks in the evening with the rest of her family. Without realizing it, Lynn had started a diet of time-restricted feeding (TRF).
Found My Fitness: Dr. Rhonda Patrick interviews Dr. Satchin Panda
Dr. Rhonda Patrick from Found My Fitness recently interviewed Dr. Satchin Panda to discuss circadian rhythms and time restricted feeding.
Caffeine
Caffeine is one of the most used stimulants in the world with over 80% of adults in the US consuming caffeine daily. Caffeine is most commonly consumed through coffee, tea, soda, or energy drinks, but foods such as dark chocolate also have high levels of caffeine. Given the wide spread consumption of caffeine, it is important to understand how it affects our physiology.
MyCircadianClock ‘How To’ Videos!
We are happy to announce that we now have ‘How To’ videos for how to log your food/beverage, sleep, and activity when using myCircadianClock!
A study of “n=1”: A Time Restricted Feeding fan goes all out for 6 months with amazing results!
For better health change WHEN you eat, not WHAT you eat. My personal 6 month Time Restricted Feeding (TRF) study, results, observations, recommendations, and how you can do it well.
Prolonged Snacking
A recent study published in Cell Metabolism September 2015, determined that most of us are eating longer than 15 hours a day. The eating duration of 15 hours is derived from when a person takes their first bite of nutrition or a sip of a beverage in the morning, to the very last bite or drink they have that day.
A Prized Life: A glimpse into the life of Nobel Laureate, Dr. Roger Guillemin
(LA JOLLA) – As part of our project to better understand healthy lifestyles in our society, we will be interviewing a wide variety of people that are living healthy lives. I am honored to have, as our first interviewee, Dr. Roger Guillemin, MD, Ph.D., a Nobel-laureate in endocrinology, artist, husband, father of six, grandfather, and still active 92 years old. In the interview, we talked about his life, his family, and his daily lifestyle (when, what, and how much he eats, sleeps, and moves). In order to understand his lifestyle, first, you’ll need to know more about his life.
Circadian Rhythms and Heart Attacks
We all know it can be stressful to transition from sleep to wake. Some mornings are worse than others. The alarm rings, we turn it off, and experience an overwhelming desire to go back to sleep. That transition from sleep state to wake state is governed by circadian rhythms. The biological clocks in our cells are shifting cellular function from reparative and restorative modes to active operational modes needed to send us out into the world for another day of survival challenges.
Health, Disease, and Biological Clocks
Welcome to my blog on circadian rhythms and their effects on cardiovascular and metabolic health! Hopefully I will be able to shed light (no pun intended!) on how all our body clocks work together to control many of the risk factors that lead to metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
