I mean, that's one of the big ones.

You are on PST and I'm on EST.

When I travel to the West Coast, I stay on the East Coast time and I'll be out there next week and I will stay on East Coast time the entire time I'm out there.

And I look like a loon and I'm in bed early, but I do so much better.

But having said that, I think for anyone that's listening, things that disrupt circadian biology impact our health in very profound ways.

We talk about shift,

Shift workers are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease, poor metabolic health, certain types of cancers, all from the disruption of the circadian rhythm and alignment.

So when we're out of alignment due to jet lag or travel or stress or shift work, there are things that we have to do to kind of bring things back into alignment.

You know, some of my patients, I had them get off a night shift.

That was like the first thing that we did because it was wrecking their metabolic health.

It was wrecking everything about their lives.

So the microbiome actually adjusts to sleep.

So when you're not getting enough sleep, your microbiome shifts.

Sometimes it shifts in a way that you'll extract more calories from food.

Sometimes you have more inflammatory bacteria.

Sometimes it can interrupt the estrobilum, which is the estrogen processing center of the microbiome.

But when I think about very tangible things that everyone can do that don't require any gadgets, light exposure in the morning can help with circadian realignment, meal timing, so eating earlier in the day, not later in the day, getting exercise, wearing blue blockers.

So technically right now, because it's starting to, the sun's starting to go down, I should be wearing blue blockers because I'm under very bright lights right now, which is very stimulating, suppresses melatonin, increases cortisol to keep me alert.

I also think about hydration.

You know, for a lot of people, we underestimate the value of hydration, but dehydration can exacerbate just about anything.
