We often think of circadian rhythms only in the context of sleep, but research shows that they relate to – and influence – so much more when it comes to our health and well-being. In this episode of the Business Group on Health podcast, we speak with Professor Russell Foster about what circadian rhythms are, the factors that influence these rhythms, and how the timing of activities like eating, exercising, and even taking medication can impact health outcomes for the better… or worse.
Listen to this wide-ranging conversation to hear about how individuals and employers can apply research from the field of circadian rhythms to improve health and quality of life.
