The Circadian Diabetes Code - by Satchin Panda (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Avoid, manage, and even reverse diabetes and prediabetes just by changing when--not what--you eat with this authoritative guide from the author of The Circadian Code, now updated with the latest guidance about optimizing new medications including Ozempic and Wegovy.

Today, one in ten Americans is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and more than one in three already has prediabetes. Many prescription medications used to treat this chronic disease have unwanted side effects. What's more, the restrictive dieting protocols used to manage diabetes are difficult to maintain over time.

Yet the latest science shows that a simple approach that aligns your daily lifestyle--when you eat, sleep, and exercise--with your body's inherent circadian rhythm can be just as effective. This is also the ideal method to enhance the effects of groundbreaking GLP-1 agonists and semaglutides including Ozempic and Wegovy. Best of all, following this program can enhance every other aspect of your health, from losing weight to boosting immunity.

In The Circadian Diabetes Code, senior Salk Institute researcher and internationally acclaimed author of The Circadian Code, Satchin Panda, PhD, shares his groundbreaking program. He shares the best way to adopt intermittent fasting, the worldwide phenomenon that started in Dr. Panda's lab, which has been used as an effective weight-loss strategy for almost a decade. Now, you can use this same strategy to optimize your blood glucose response and naturally lower your risk for developing "the sinister friends of diabetes"--heart disease and obesity.

The truth is, intermittent fasting is much easier that you think. You will learn how to:

• Identify your optimal eating zone
• Plan your meals according to your circadian rhythm
• Exercise at the right time to control blood glucose levels
• Get the best night's sleep to reset your brain and body
• Optimally time medication, as needed
• And much more
