Introducing The Circadian Retraining Program...

The Forgotten Factor in Health and Wellness... An Instant Game Changer When Implemented Correctly!!!

Learn how to avoid the chronic disease of aging…

If you’re like me, you want to live a long and happy life.  The problem is, you see people around you, people you care deeply about, suffering in old age.  Suffering with the chronic diseases of aging like Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and Stroke.  These diseases not only shorten your life, they shorten the portion of your life you spend being healthy, called your healthspan.

 

Lifespans have increased dramatically over the last 50 years thanks to medical science, but healthspan has been getting worse.

 

Unfortunately, while you’ll live longer since you can goose out 10-15 more years after your heart attack or round of chemo, what ends up happening is you spend the last 10 years of your life in permanent disability.  Years you could spend dancing with your spouse, playing with your grandkids, or going out with your friends.But, you have quite a bit of control over this.

Why It's NOT Genetics

 

We used to think this was all about our genes but it’s not.  It turns out, people who live to 80, 90, or 100 have the same number of genes that put them at risk for these diseases as you do.  The way they get there and stay healthy is through a healthy lifestyle that includes optimizing circadian rhythms.

 

"...approximately 87% of men and 83% of women with prolonged survival delayed or escaped the most lethal diseases of the elderly population, despite the same number of harmful alleles as controls. Thus, the lifestyle of an individual, encompassing caloric restriction, regular daily rhythm, and physical activity, may be more relevant to one’s healthspan than harmful alleles."

 

 

 

Now, you may be asking yourself, what are circadian rhythms?

 

Simply put, circadian rhythms are changes in the way your body functions throughout the day.  Each organ or tissue in your body has its own peripheral clock that helps regulate how it functions, and each clock has its own rhythm.  When these rhythms are all in sync with one another, you hum along happy, healthy, and disease free.  But when your circadian rhythms are thrown out of sync, your body begins to fall apart as your organs can’t effectively communicate with one another.

 

"Just about everything that takes place physiologically is really staged along the circadian cycle," Leonard Guarente senior author of the paper says. "What's now emerging is the idea that maintaining the circadian cycle is quite important in health maintenance, and if it gets broken, there's a penalty to be paid in health and perhaps in aging."

Circadian Disruption and the Diseases of Aging

 

Circadian disruption is associated with all the chronic diseases of aging, and while you probably know what you should be doing, you may not be doing it at the right time.  And with circadian rhythms, timing is the most critical factor.

 

That’s why I developed The Circadian Retraining Program, to help you figure out when you should be doing things.

 

Circadian Rhythms and Sleep

 

Confused?

 

Think about it like this…A person with a healthy sleep cycle wakes up with energy in the morning and feels tired and ready to sleep at night.  This is accomplished by circadian rhythms in a stress hormone called cortisol and a sleep hormone called melatonin.

 

In the morning, cortisol should be high and melatonin low.  This wakes you up and promotes alertness.  At night, cortisol should drop and melatonin should rise, causing you to fall asleep.  Both these hormones are regulated by circadian rhythms, and your circadian rhythms are regulated by environmental factors such as light exposure, your feeding/fasting cycle, and physical activity.

 

The problem is that most of us are only hyper-focused on what and how much...

 

What type of food?

 

How many calories?

 

What type of exercise should I do?

 

How long should I exercise for?

 

You get the picture. So how do we currently address this problem?

 

Most people with sleep problems take an Ambien that knocks them out at night, but does nothing for their circadian rhythms so they wake up groggy and sluggish for the day.  And the people going the “natural” route by taking melatonin aren’t addressing the cortisol issue.  With sleep being so important for our health, half measures like this are unacceptable.

 

 

Circadian Rhythms and Gut Health

 

From the timing of bile output in to the small intestine to the rhythmic control of colon contraction, your entire digestive tract is under heavy circadian regulation.  Even the bacteria in your gut get in on the game, varying not only in composition throughout the day, but also helping to regulate the detoxification capacity of your liver.

 

“Circadian rhythms play a major role in regulating the digestive systems of many organisms. Cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and even structure vary as a function of time of day in many different digestive organs (i.e., stomach, gut, liver, and pancreas) and cell types, resulting in regionally specific temporal variations in protein and gene expression.”

 

In fact, the circadian clock in the gut is a prime example of how proper communication between multiple clock systems is necessary for proper function.  We use bile to help digest fats, absorb fat soluble nutrients, and help regulate the “leakiness” of our gut.  But optimal bile output and flow is dependent on syncing of multiple clocks.

 

Bile is made out of cholesterol in the liver.  Cholesterol output is regulated by the master clock in the brain, and we need the clock in the liver to convert that cholesterol to bile.  It then gets sent to the gallbladder which holds it until the gut needs it.  When we eat, bile is dumped in to the small intestine and circulates through our gut until it is reabsorbed and recycled back to the liver.  While the cortisol rhythm is regulated by the master clock in the brain, it's made and secreted by the adrenal glands above your kidneys.

 

So, this single aspect of digestion is dependent on proper syncing of the master clock in the brain, the gut clock, the liver clock, the gallbladder clock and the adrenal clock.

 

Oh yeah, and that microbial clock I was talking about earlier.

Circadian Rhythms and Cancer

 

Circadian rhythms are important at both the organ and cellular level.  At the cellular level, circadian rhythms dictate when cells should be used, when they should be repaired, and when cells too damaged to function properly should be removed and replaced.

 

This plays a critical role in preventing cancer.

 

“The circadian clock is the body’s molecular clock, a natural, roughly 24-hour cycle that regulates sleep, metabolism, the immune system, temperature, renal function, gene activity and other physiological and biochemical processes. Circadian rhythms occur in all the body’s organs, tissues and cells and are synchronized by a central pacemaker in the brain’s hypothalamus.There is considerable evidence that shift work, jet lag, light at night or other disruptions to the circadian clock can lead to cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, depression and other health problems. In 2007, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified shift work resulting in circadian disruption as a probable human carcinogen.” 

 

But this isn’t the only way circadian rhythms impact cancer, they can also play a big role in treatment.  Recent evidence points to optimal times of the day for cancer treatment to reduce side effects and optimize outcomes.

Circadian Rhythms, Detoxification, and Inflammation

 

Ultimately, circadian rhythms optimize your physiology to help you become successful at living in your environment.  For most systems, this means allocating resources that lead to an organ performing its function at a certain time of day and then reducing its activity so that it can be repaired during off hours.  It’s just like getting an oil change in your car, you don’t want to run the engine while you’re performing an oil change or you risk damaging your engine.  So, you must take it off the road for a bit, change the oil, and then you can start using it again. One process that exemplifies this principle is detoxification.

 

Detoxification involves a complex interplay between the gut and liver, and to a lesser extent the skin and lungs, so proper communication between all 4 of these tissues is integral to proper detoxification.  This makes sense, most of the toxins you are exposed to come in from the gut.  Since you have a limited ability to detoxify things as they come in to the body, naturally you want the greatest activity of detoxification enzymes to be when you are most exposed to toxins. Another good example is the immune system, specifically inflammation.

 

You’ve probably heard about the negative effects of Chronic Inflammation, and that’s because chronic inflammation puts the immune system on constant alert.  If we look at your immune system as the troops in a war against foreign invaders, think of inflammation as the orders from military command to ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK!

 

When the troops are on constant alert and not given downtime for repair, they continually accumulate damage and eventually perish.Both healthy detoxification and immune function are dependent on synchronization between clocks in multiple organs.  The 2 act like bouncers at the night club for your body, regulating who gets in and who gets sent packing.
