Timing of Eating: Energetic Hypothesis (SNP32)
In the ongoing exploration of weight loss strategies, the timing of food intake has emerged as a fascinating area of study. While traditional advice often focuses on what we eat, growing evidence suggests that when we eat could also play a crucial role in weight management. This concept, known as chrononutrition, examines how our body’s internal clock influences the metabolic processes associated with food intake. Could adjusting meal times offer a new pathway to effective weight loss?
SNP#30: Melatonin, Meal Timing & Chrononutrition – Marta Garaulet, PhD
In this interview, we will explore the role of circadian biology in human health and metabolism. We will begin by examining circadian clocks, the internal mechanisms that regulate our daily physiological cycles, and how these differ from behavioral cycles, which are influenced by external factors such as light exposure and activity levels.
#495: Circadian Clocks in Muscle & Exercise as a Time Cue – Prof. Karyn Esser
This episode delves into the implications of “circadian clocks” operating within skeletal muscle tissue, with the esteemed Prof. Karyn Esser as this week’s guest. Her pioneering work has been instrumental in understanding the interplay between circadian rhythmicity and muscular physiology.
#488: Does Time of Day Impact Hunger, Appetite & Satiety?
In this episode, Alan and Danny take a look at the current evidence related to the connection between time-of-day, appetite, and energy intake. And what does this mean for how calorie distribution may affect dietary intake, body composition and health.
#470: Melatonin, Meal Timing & Glucose Tolerance
In this episode, Danny and Alan discuss the topic of meal timing and glucose tolerance, and the interaction with melatonin.
#469: Chrononutrition – New Findings & Updated Views
Chrononutrition is a research area that looks at the relationship between temporal (time-related) eating patterns, circadian rhythms, and metabolic health. In this episode, we look at recent research (including that from the Big Breakfast Project) and how understanding and conclusions from the field have shifted over time.
SNP12: The Big Breakfast Study
In October 2022, Ruddick-Collins et al. published results of a RCT looking at the impact of different calorie distribution across the day. This study was one from the ‘Big Breakfast Study’ project. In this episode, Dr. Alan Flanagan discusses.
#355: Is Time-restricted Eating Dead?: A Closer Look
Today’s Topic in Focus: Time-Restricted Eating [05:14] Lowe et al., 2020 – TREAT RCT Sutton et al., 2018 – Early Time-Restricted Feeding Improves Insulin Sensitivity, Blood Pressure, and Oxidative Stress Even without Weight Loss in Men with Prediabetes Hutchinson et al., 2019 – Time‐Restricted Feeding Improves Glucose Tolerance in Men at Risk for Type 2 […]
#296: Circadian Entrainment, Chronotypes & Chrononutrition
Guest BioAlan Flanagan, PhD Alan Flanagan is currently a researcher at the University of Surrey, UK. His research is in the general field of chrononutrition, with a specific focus on how calorie distribution and timing may impact health & energy balance. Alan has a Masters in Nutritional Medicine and a PhD in nutrition from the […]
