The Power of Eating to Support your Circadian Rhythms: Reset in Spring

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO RE SET IN SPRING

Our bodies function on a circadian rhythm, a 24-hour internal clock that governs everything from sleep and energy levels to metabolism and hormone production. Research by Professor Satchin Panda, a leading expert in circadian biology, has shown that when we eat is just as important as what we eat.

By following Time-Restricted Eating (TRE)—aligning meals with our body’s natural rhythms—we can enhance energy, support digestion, balance hormones, and even improve longevity.

Why Eating at the Right Time Matters

Your body is designed to metabolise food most efficiently during the day, when metabolism, digestion, and insulin sensitivity are at their peak. Once evening starts our melatonin levels increase which slows down the digestive processes and inhibits our ability to digest food. Eating late at night or extending your eating window can disrupt the delicate balance, leading to hormonal imbalances and metabolic dysfunction.

1. Insulin & Fat Storage

Eating late in the evening can increase insulin resistance, making it harder for the body to regulate blood sugar and burn fat efficiently. This can lead to:

·      Increased fat storage

·      Higher risk of type 2 diabetes

·      Energy crashes and sugar cravings

Optimal Eating Window: Start eating within 1-2 hours of waking and finish meals at least 2-3 hours before bed.

2. Melatonin & Digestion

As evening approaches, the body releases melatonin to promote sleep. However, melatonin also reduces insulin sensitivity, meaning food eaten late at night is more likely to be stored as fat rather than used for energy. This can cause:

·      Poor digestion and bloating

·      Increased inflammation

·      Disrupted sleep cycles

 Best Practice: Stop eating at least 2-3 hours before sleep to support natural melatonin production.

3. Cortisol & Stress Eating

Cortisol, our stress hormone, follows a natural rhythm—rising in the morning to wake us up and falling in the evening to help us unwind. However, eating outside your natural circadian window (especially late at night) can disrupt this cycle, leading to:

·      Increased stress and anxiety

·      Poor sleep quality

·      Uncontrolled hunger and cravings the next day

Solution: Align meals with daylight hours to support healthy cortisol levels.

The Benefits of Time-Restricted Eating (TRE)

·      Balances hormones – Supports insulin, melatonin, and cortisol regulation

·      Enhances metabolism – Encourages fat-burning and energy efficiency

·      Boosts energy levels – Reduces inflammation and supports mitochondrial health

·      Improves sleep – Helps melatonin function properly for deep rest

·      Reduces cravings – Prevents late-night hunger and unnecessary snacking

How Regenerate & Cellular Calm Complex Support TRE & Hormonal Balance

To fully optimise the benefits of Time-Restricted Eating, supporting cellular health, circadian rhythms, and stress response is key.

Regenerate by Rejuvenated

·      NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) – Boosts NAD+ levels, helping to regulate circadian rhythms, energy production, and cellular repair.

·      Resveratrol – Activates sirtuins, which enhance metabolism and support longevity.

·      Antioxidants & Adaptogens – Combat oxidative stress and inflammation, supporting overall vitality.

Cellular Calm Complex

·      L-Theanine – A powerful amino acid that reduces stress and anxiety by modulating cortisol levels, promoting a calm and relaxed state.

·      Ashwagandha – An adaptogenic herb that supports adrenal function, helping to stabilise stress hormones and improve sleep cycles.

·      Rhodiola Rosea – Enhances mental resilience, reduces fatigue, and helps reset the body’s natural circadian rhythm.

Together, Regenerate and Cellular Calm Complex work synergistically to align the body’s internal clock, reduce stress-related disruptions, and promote optimal hormonal balance.

How to Implement TRE with Rejuvenated’s Supplements

Eat within a 8-10 hour window (e.g., 8 AM - 6 PM) for optimal metabolic function.

Avoid eating late at night to prevent insulin resistance and fat storage.

Take Regenerate in the morning to kickstart NAD+ production and cellular energy.

Take Cellular Calm Complex in the evening to support relaxation and circadian alignment.

Prioritise whole, nutrient-dense foods to fuel your body effectively.

By aligning your eating habits with your natural circadian rhythm and supporting your body with Regenerate and Cellular Calm Complex, you can enhance energy, reduce stress, and unlock better metabolic and hormonal health.
