-
- Alternative Health
This week Meg & Kylie sat down with Functional Nutritionist Sarah Marlette, who focuses on circadian rhythm regulation in her work. She has her Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. Her philosophy is all about nourishment - not deprivation; she calls it: realistic nutrition. She focuses on creating a flexible routine that allows her to enjoy life while still feeding her cells and nourishing her body, and does the same with each one of her clients. Tools, not rules
Sarah has a 21 circadian rhythm reset program to help balance and reset rhythms. This program is group based and led by Sarah. You can connect with Sarah on IG at @nourishthriveglow !
TLDL action steps:
1. Follow Dr Andrew Huberman @hubermanlab on IG for more info on circadian rhythms and their impact on health
2. Circadian rhythms are basically the bodies routines of functioning (i.e. digestion, hormone regulation, heart rate, etc); ideally these functions are on regular schedules or routines, but when those routines become disrupted, they can cause symptoms or even health problems
3. Common circadian disruptors are blue light (yes you scrolling on your phone at night), not enough exposure to sunlight and irratic meal patterns
4. Sarah's recommendations to regulate your circadian rhythms and improve a vast range of health issues (including digestive problems, sleep issues, anxiety or other mental health issues like ADHD- even muscle mass loss (sarcopenia)) include: a) getting morning sunlight (or daytime) exposure within 1 hour of waking up every day; b) delaying caffeine intake and c) limiting scrolling time before/while in bed
5. Heart rate variability can be a great marker for assessing your nervous system functioning as it is closely associated with circadian rhythm regulation
