Performance Around The Clock
Dr. Satchin Panda
This is a podcast that explores how to keep our bodies and minds operating at peak levels around the clock, hosted by Dr. Satchin Panda from the Salk Institute in La Jolla, CA. Here, we talk with experts from different fields to learn about science and how to leverage that knowledge to improve performance.
Dr. Panda is a leading expert on circadian rhythms and time-restricted feeding. His research has implications on metabolism, health, and aging and offers potential approaches to disease prevention and longevity.

Juleen Zierath - exercise and metabolic disease. Performance Around The Clock episode 2.
Episode 2 of Performance Around the Clock features Dr. Juleen Zierath who is a Professor of Physiology at the Karolinska Institutet and the University of Copenhagen. We discuss with Dr. Zierath about using exercise as medicine for metabolic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. This includes how exercise affects multiple organs and systems in the body, improving insulin sensitivity, bone density, cognition, and more. Dr. Zierath shares research on optimal timing of exercise for blood sugar control, showing benefits from afternoon exercise over morning for diabetics. We also cover personalized exercise prescriptions, prenatal and preconception exercise impacts, and the importance of societal support and public policy in enabling exercise. The episode provides some scientific evidence and advice for using exercise to boost health.Guest:Dr. Juleen ZierathProfessor of Physiology at Karolinska Institutet and the University of Copenhagen.X (formerly Twitter): @JuleenRZierathHost:Dr. Satchin PandaX (formerly Twitter): @SatchinPandahttps://twitter.com/SatchinPandaInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/satchin.panda/Links:Donations: https://panda.salk.edu/giving/Research: https://www.salk.edu/scientist/satchidananda-panda/More science: https://mycircadianclock.org/

Hiroki Ueda - Circadian Rhythms. Performance Around The Clock episode 1.
Dr. Hiroki Ueda, a circadian rhythm researcher at the University of Tokyo, sheds light on the intricate dance of our biological clocks. He dives into how circadian rhythms can influence gene expression and overall health. Dr. Ueda reveals groundbreaking genetic tools for studying sleep patterns and discusses novel non-invasive methods for tracking sleep cycles in animal models. He emphasizes the critical role of sleep quality, particularly deep and REM sleep, and highlights the implications of sleep disturbances on health and longevity. This conversation is a fascinating exploration of how timing and genetics shape our well-being.
