In episode 4 of the podcast, Dr. Tinh-Hai Collet, a physician and principal investigator at Geneva University Hospital, discusses with Dr. Satchin Panda his experience combining lifestyle interventions like meal timing and circadian rhythms with medicine to manage chronic conditions in patients. We discuss Dr. Collet's research on time-restricted eating, including a 6-month randomized controlled trial in Switzerland. We also discuss implementing lifestyle changes like intermittent fasting under medical supervision, potential side effects, impacts on conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and the importance of spreading circadian health knowledge among more physicians. Overall, this conversation highlights the potential for optimizing meal timing and circadian rhythms, alongside medication when needed, to improve health outcomes.
