Welcome to the Dr. Gabriel Lyon Show, where I believe a healthy world is based on transparent

conversations.

In today's episode, I have the great privilege to sit down with Dr. Sotchen Panda.

This episode was eye-opening for me. We talk all

about the impact of light, both artificial and natural light on human biology and human

physiology. We talk about what circadian biology is and what it's not. We talk about how circadian biology influences a

woman's ability to get pregnant. This was just a fascinating conversation. In addition, we talk

about food and meal timing. Does it actually really matter? Does it matter when we exercise?

We cover a lot of ground in this episode.

I think that you're really going to like it. Dr. Sachin Panda is an incredible scientist. He is a

professor at the Salk Institute in California, where his research focuses on the circadian

regulation of behavior, physiology, and metabolism in

model organisms, and most importantly, from our perspective, in humans. So how is his work being

translated to human performance and human health? Dr. Panda discovered, yes, discovered a blue light sensing cell type

in the retina that entrains our master clock. It affects mood and regulates the production

of the sleep hormone melatonin. He is a world-renowned scientist. I'm so grateful that he spent

time with us. I think you're going to love

this episode. And as always, if you like it, please share it, rate it. We look at all your feedback

and leave us a review. Thank you again so much. And let's dive in. Special thank you to one of the sponsors of the show

and that is Element during the podcast and right before people are always asking me, what are you

drinking? Well, you know, we don't really give away a water at this house, but we do give away

water with element in it. An element is an electrolyte drink with a thousand milligrams of sodium,
