Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your Health

How Circadian Rhythm Shapes Gut Repair and Digestive Health

25 Oct 2025

Description

Your gut lining renews itself on a precise daily schedule controlled by your circadian rhythm, and disruptions to this clock weaken your intestinal barrier and slow repair Irregular sleep, late-night eating, and travel throw your gut and brain clocks out of sync, leading to digestive issues, nutrient absorption problems, and higher risk of leaky gut Gut microbes directly shape stress responses, mood, and sleep by signaling through nerves, hormones, and immune pathways, proving that a healthy microbiome steadies both mind and body Alcohol and ultraprocessed foods multiply the damage of circadian disruption, raising long-term risks of obesity, diabetes, and chronic inflammation Simple daily choices โ€” steady sleep, regular meal timing, morning light exposure, and whole-food nutrition โ€” reset your body's rhythm and strengthen your gut's natural defenses
