Reset Your Rhythm: How Circadian Health Transforms Sleep, Energy & Longevity – Deep Dive

The Animal Based Dad Podcast

Episode 2 in my 5-part mini-series with Roderick Lambert.

Is your internal clock out of sync…? And is this costing you your health…? In this week’s Deep Dive episode, we continue the mini-series with Roderick Lambert and Ricky Du Plessis, discussing circadian rhythms to explore how aligning your daily habits with your body's natural 24-hour cycle can lead to better your sleep quality, give you sharper focus, improved energy, and a longer, healthier life.

You’ll learn:

• What circadian rhythms really are, and why they matter for every cell in your body!
• How hormones like cortisol, melatonin, and adenosine influence your sleep-wake cycles!
• The hidden toll of shift work, late nights, and “social jet lag”!
• Simple strategies to sync your lifestyle with your biological clock!
• How aligning with nature’s rhythms boosts recovery, energy, and most importantly - your metabolic health!

This episode lays the groundwork for reclaiming your health by working with your biology, not against it—no supplements or fads required.
