Dr. Karan: The Science of Eating at the Right Time | Adriano dos Santos

Key Takeaways

• Eat with circadian rhythms: Align meals with daylight (earlier breakfast, earlier dinner) to sync gut microbiome and metabolic clocks.
• Prioritize fiber timing: Consume fiber-rich foods earlier in the day to optimize butyrate production and clock gene regulation.
• Avoid late-night disruptions: No meals/exercise close to bedtime—confuses liver clocks and triggers inflammatory signals.

Supplements & Protocols Mentioned

• Butyrate: Key short-chain fatty acid from fiber fermentation that regulates clock genes in liver/gut (take via fiber-rich diet).
• Lactobacillus strains: Specific probiotics shown in mice studies to improve circadian alignment (exact strains not specified).

Notable Quotes

“We have clock genes across our entire body… confusion in timing can translate to inflammation and oxidative stress.”

Bottom Line

Front-load fiber intake earlier in the day, finish eating 3+ hours before bed, and avoid late-night stimuli to synchronize your gut-clock axis.
