This month's discussion:

## Why Meal and Sleep Timing Matters

In a world of shift work, late-night screens, and artificial light, our circadian systems are constantly disrupted. This group brings together the latest research to discuss how strategic meal timing can **mitigate those risks** and improve health.
We dive into how eating earlier in the day and maintaining regular meal patterns can support:

* **Better Cardiometabolic Health:** Improving insulin sensitivity and metabolic outcomes.
* **Hormone Regulation:** Keeping your hunger and satiety signals balanced.
* **Mental Health:** Supporting overall well-being and reducing risks associated with circadian disruption (even touching on exceptions for certain populations, like those dealing with nightmares/PTSD).

## Our Discussion Topics

Whether you're curious about Intermittent Fasting (IF), Time-Restricted Eating (TRE), or simply want to eat better for your body clock, join us to share insights and learn:

* How to effectively practice **Time-Restricted Eating** to boost metabolic benefits.
* Strategies for maintaining **circadian alignment** despite modern lifestyle pressures (like shift work or travel).
* The science behind nutrient absorption and timing of protein, fats, and carbs.
* Practical tips for achieving regular, predictable meal patterns.
