“The gut-brain axis may hold more clues about cognitive decline than previously realized, with some evidence suggesting that gut microbial populations might influence brain health and cognitive function.”

“Levels of NAD+ vary according to nutrient intake, activity, and even time of day. In fact, the body's circadian rhythms, which control nearly 15 percent of gene expression in the body, are subject to NAD+ levels, which drive the body's master "clock."”

“Light is a major regulator of circadian rhythm, especially in children, whose eyes are more photosensitive. Previous research demonstrates that exposure to bright light suppresses melatonin (the sleepiness hormone) production twice as strongly in children as in adults.”

“They also found that time-restricted eating altered amino acid, fat, and glucose metabolism and re-aligned the circadian rhythms of the animals' organs. These findings suggest that time-restricted eating influences gene activity in mice.”

“A person's chronotype – their innate tendency to sleep at a particular time during a 24-hour period – is based on genetically determined circadian rhythms. Disruption of a person's chronotype schedule can influence mood, productivity, and disease risk.”

“Reducing sedentary time and stabilizing work schedules could help workers achieve healthier sleep patterns, ultimately improving well-being and overall health. Learn how shift work and other aspects of modern lifestyles influence sleep and health by altering circadian rhythms in this clip featuring Dr. Satchin Panda.”

“How much sleep a person needs is largely dependent on their chronotype – an individual’s innate tendency to sleep at a particular time during a 24-hour period. Chronotypes are based on circadian rhythms and are genetically determined, making it difficult to identify proper controls for sleep studies.”

“Interestingly, the presence of many of these proteins is regulated by circadian rhythms that are synchronized with the infant's needs. "Emerging evidence suggests that some of the immune and health benefits that infants acquire during breastfeeding may be lifelong.".”

“Sirtuins utilize NAD+ to perform the process of deacetylation to control the activation of genes involved in energy metabolism, autophagy, circadian rhythms, DNA repair, cell survival, and more.”

“00:40:52 - How the body's fight-or-flight mechanism is amplified in people who have insomnia. 00:45:57 - The role of daylight during the day and darkness during the night in improving sleep and circadian rhythms and strategies for using this to our advantage.”
