Circadian medicine

Circadian medicine is a field of healthcare that focuses on how our biological rhythms, particularly the 24-hour cycle known as the circadian rhythm, influence our health and well-being. These rhythms affect sleep, metabolism, hormone release, and various bodily functions. Circadian medicine emphasizes the importance of aligning medical treatments and lifestyle choices—like sleep patterns, meal times, and exercise—with these natural rhythms to improve health outcomes. By understanding and respecting our body's internal clock, we can enhance recovery from illnesses, manage chronic diseases, and promote overall wellness.
