Chronobiology

The current dogma for the cause of the obesity epidemic in western society today is that people are eating too much and exercising too little. This makes sense because if you look at how society has changed in the last 30 years since the obesity epidemic began there has been a clear increase in sedentary lifestyles accompanied by an increase in consumption of food and fatty processed foods in particular.


However there is a crucial third component in the cause for obesity that the public is unaware of and not commonly spoken about. This third factor in the cause for obesity is the disruption to our circadian rhythm, known as CD or “chronodisruption”. Chronodisruption is an interesting idea not known by the general public because of its complex ideas and scientific knowledge required to understand it. You may know it as “staying up late is bad”, but why? I will go into the importance of sleeping at the right times for the right amount of time and simplifying the concept of circadian rhythm to help the non-scientist understand it and use it to accelerate their weight loss and prevent gaining fat tissue.
