<p>Our modern world is disrupting our bodies’ natural circadian rhythms – our phones ping throughout the night, we don’t get enough daylight and we never allow ourselves to switch off.</p>
<p>But did you know that smooth running of our circadian rhythms is vital to protect us from disease?</p>
<p>Or that disruption of our sleep can drastically lower our immune system?</p>
<p>According to Russell Foster, Professor of Circadian Neuroscience at Oxford University around 70% of individuals with Alzheimers are reported to have disrupted and fragmented circadian rhythms.</p>
<p>In this podcast we are going to discuss why we need to respect our body’s natural rhythms to improve brain health, our metabolism and even our life expectancy and how today’s modern world is pushing us out of sync. </p>
<p>Russell also busts a few myths when it comes to light blocking glasses, whether melatonin pills work and whether I can become a ‘Lark’ instead of an ‘Owl.’</p>
