Learn how your biological clock or circadian rhythm tunes physiology, metabolism and brain function. Dr. Satchin Panda's research shows thousands of genes in every cell turn on and off at specific times of the day. This gene orchestra dictates the optimum times for everything from athletic performance, shaving, taking medicine to cramming for an exam.

Satchin Panda, PhD is a scientist and researcher at the Salk Institute in San Diego.

TEDxYouth@SanDiego is an independently organized TEDx event designed by youth, for youth to bring the power of big ideas to the youth of San Diego -- and the world. www.TEDxYouthSanDiego.com

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Such an amazing session i just read about circadian cycle in my 11th ncert and i searched about it and found this informative session amazingly explained every student should watch this

    Very interesting.  A friend of mine is an extremely competitive athlete that routinely engages in things I never would, like ultra-marathons, 100 mile bike rides, etc.-- and he told me that if I wanted to lose weight or trim up, all I really needed to do was to not eat after 7pm.  And in case where there must be an exception, it could not include carbs.  His advice (which I know came from his own personal experience) seems to correlate well with this video.

    He’s on to something here but honestly I believe the circadian rhythm is a sync up of your sleeping and eating patterns. So time restricted eating and proper sleeping patterns help facilitate the rest of the bodily functions

    I loved this TedTalk with professor Satchin!! Such an interesting topic to watch and know during this hard time.
  • @kaushal09able
    It is very nice to see your lecture on such a huge platform like TedxYouth. As a viewer, I am much more educated as a server of chronobiology.

    Very well descriptive and easy to understand talk. Great Dr. Panda. My friends had developed "My Circadian Clock" app.

    alot of things are left out here. by fasting ie eating controlled and thereby automaticly fasting more during sleep woulf create a state for ketosis. shifting between ketosis fat burning and glycosis is key to proper body functions.

    Why is Circadian Rhythm "Synced" with the cycle of the rotation of the earth? Generally speaking, we become conscious or "rise" with the suns appearance, and we hibernate with its disappearance. Is it purely from light stimulation being that the sun is out, thereby stimulating consciousness? Light photon induced consciousness.
