Performance Around The Clock (Dr. Satchin Panda)

In episode 9 of Performance Around the Clock, we are delighted to talk to cardiologist, Dr. Elizabeth Sage Epstein again. Dr. Epstein and Dr. Panda discuss the role of cholesterol in cardiovascular disease risk. The conversation covers topics such as the absorption of fat and cholesterol in the body, the impact of LDL particles on plaque formation in coronary arteries, and the use of advanced cardiology techniques, such as NMR LipoProfile and calcium scoring, to assess cardiovascular health. Dr. Epstein emphasizes the importance of understanding cholesterol levels and how they contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease, and also highlights the potential for lifestyle changes to reverse plaque development.

In episode 6 of Performance Around the Clock, host Professor Satchin Panda interviews Dr. Horacio de la Iglesia, a sleep and circadian expert from the University of Washington. We discuss how circadian rhythms affect nearly every aspect of human physiology and behavior, from hormone levels to sleep-wake cycles. Dr. De la Iglesia shares insights from his research on ancestral populations like the Toba who live without electricity, as well as modern teenagers and the impact of light exposure, sleep deprivation, and delayed school start times. We discuss the need to educate the public and medical community about circadian health. The episode highlights how circadian biology can inform public policy and simple lifestyle changes we can make, like increasing natural daylight exposure, to improve health.

In this episode of Performance Around the Clock, host professor Satchin Panda interviews Dr. Hiroki Ueda, a circadian rhythm researcher at the University of Tokyo medical school and the RIKEN research institute in Japan. We discuss Dr. Ueda's pioneering work using genomics and imaging techniques to study how genes that regulate circadian rhythms turn on and off at different times of day in various tissues and organs. This research helps explain how disrupted circadian rhythms negatively impact human health and performance. Dr. Ueda also describes his development of novel genetic tools and microscopic imaging methods to analyze sleep/wake cycles and diseases in animal models. He emphasizes the importance of sleep for optimal brain function and shares new approaches his team is taking to make sleep measurements more practical and scalable for clinical use. Overall, the episode highlights Dr. Ueda's groundbreaking research expanding our understanding of circadian biology and sleep to improve human health.

Episode 19 of the Performance Around the Clock podcast comes from the 2024 Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR) biennial meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  We have the honor to talk with one of the pillars of the circadian field - Dr. Joseph Takahashi.  Dr. Takahashi pioneered the use of forward genetics and positional cloning in mouse as a tool to discover genes that underlie neurobiology and behavior.  His discovery of clock genes led to a description of a conserved circadian clock mechanism in animals. In this podcast, we hear about how his lab discovered and cloned the mouse circadianClock gene.  In addition, we find out how circadian alignment of feeding, daily fasting and caloric restriction can combine to increase longevity.

Dr. Takahashi has authored more than 300+ scientific publications and the recipient of many awards and distinctions including:

The Honma Prize in Biological Rhythms Research

NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award

Coming from the 2024 Gerontology Society of America (GSA) Annual Scientific Meeting in Seattle, we are excited to welcome Dr. Nathan LaBrasseur for the 31st episode of the Performance Around the Clock podcast. Dr. LaBrasseur is the director of the Robert and Arlene Kogod Center on Aging at the Mayo Clinic and an expert on senescence and aging. He's an author of the book "Mayo Clinic on Healthy Aging: An Easy and Comprehensive Guide to Keeping Your Body Young, Your Mind Sharp and Your Spirit Fulfilled" an updated guide on healthy aging. In this episode, learn about the latest in aging and senescence particularly therapeutics for senescent cells - senotherapeutics. Senotherapeutics can be broken down into senolytics which selectively kill senescent cells and senomorphics which suppress senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) to reduce the negative effects of senescence.

In episode 5 of the PATC podcast, ophthalmology expert Dr. Kajuha Shubota discusses key research on how light affects vision and overall health with host Dr. Satchin Panda. He explains how lack of time outdoors and violet light exposure is increasing myopia rates in children, and eyeglasses may exacerbate the issue. He shares how dry eye is linked to stress and lifestyle factors. For presbyopia, he discusses potential drug and lens replacement solutions to improve near vision. Throughout, Dr. Shubota emphasizes how the eye offers valuable insights into aging and diseases like Alzheimer’s, as improving ocular blood flow with light may boost brain function. He remains optimistic that innovations in glasses design and lighting can profoundly improve vision and wellbeing across all life stages.

Dr. Peterson is the principal investigator of numerous clinical trials on TRE, including the largest randomized controlled trial of intermittent fasting in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Her research combines chronobiology, nutrition, and metabolism and aims to develop dietary interventions to combat cardiometabolic diseases.  Learn all about her research in this episode.

Episode 18, the final episode from the Cell Symposia meeting on Exercise Metabolism in Lisbon, features Dr. Bret Goodpaster. As the Scientific Director at AdventHealth's Translational Research Institute, Dr. Goodpaster is a leading expert in exercise physiology and metabolism. In this episode, he shares his insights on exercise, muscle, aging, and the athlete’s paradox. We also delve into two major scientific projects - HealthABC (Health, Aging Body and Composition) and MoTrPAC (Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium). HealthABC explores risk factors for functional decline in older adults, including muscle aging. MoTrPAC is a large consortium created to understand the molecular mechanisms of physical activity on health benefits. We hope you will find this episode intellectually stimulating. Thank you for listening.

Welcome to the Performance Around the Clock podcast. In episode 23, we are joined by Dr. Emily Manoogian, one of the foremost experts on Time-Restricted Eating (TRE), to discuss her latest research on TRE in adults with metabolic syndrome. We will explore how to implement TRE and its various benefits. Dr. Manoogian will also share insights on using the myCircadianClock app in her clinical trials to track TRE and other circadian metrics. For more information, you can visit the myCircadianClock website at www.mycircadianclock.org. If you are interested in participating in a Type 2 Diabetes and TRE study, please get in touch with Dr. Manoogian at preventivecvresearch@health.ucsd.edu. Her latest study was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine: (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39348690/). Thank you for tuning in.

Episode 17 of the Performance Around The Clock podcast comes from the Cell Symposia meeting on Exercise Metabolism in Lisbon. We were honored to host Dr. Bente Klarlund Pedersen and to talk about her brilliant career from her seminal research on myokines to "exercise as medicine". Dr. Pedersen also tells us about how she uses her knowledge of exercise to educate the public and effect policy changes.Guest:Dr. Bente Klarlund PedersenDirector of Centre for Physical Activity Research (CFAS)https://www.inflammation-metabolism.dk/X (formerly Twitter): @benteklarlundphttps://x.com/benteklarlundpHost:Dr. Satchin PandaX (formerly Twitter): @SatchinPandahttps://x.com/SatchinPandaInstagram: @satchin.pandahttps://www.instagram.com/satchin.panda/Links:Donations: https://panda.salk.edu/giving/Research: https://www.salk.edu/scientist/satchidananda-panda/More science: https://mycircadianclock.org/

In episode 3 of this podcast, sleep and circadian rhythm expert, professor Frank Scheer discusses how our internal body clocks regulate physiology and behaviors in a 24-hour cycle. He explains how measures like dim light melatonin onset and cortisol rhythms provide insights into circadian timing. The discussion covers how factors like light exposure, meal timing, and sleep impact circadian rhythms and health. Dr. Scheer shares research on misaligning behaviors and physiology through social jet lag, night shifts, and mistimed eating. He suggests strategies like optimizing meal timing and light exposure to realign circadian rhythms. Overall, the discussion highlights how adjusting daily behaviors can improve circadian alignment, metabolism, mood, and wellbeing. Enjoy.
