Join Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile as they interview Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, a pioneering scientist in circadian biology and a global expert on the health effects of light exposure. With over 40 years of groundbreaking research on circadian rhythms, Dr. Moore-Ede has transformed our understanding of sleep disorders, fatigue, and the links between artificial light exposure and chronic diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

A former professor at Harvard Medical School (1975–1998), Dr. Moore-Ede led the team that discovered the suprachiasmatic nucleus—the brain’s master biological clock that regulates sleep and wake cycles. His research revolutionized our knowledge of how human physiology adapts to 24/7 work schedules, influencing workplace health, safety, and productivity. He is the author of the best-selling books The Clocks That Time Us and The Twenty-Four Hour Society, which explore the impact of circadian disruption in our modern world.

As the founder of CIRCADIAN®, a global consulting firm dedicated to optimizing workforce performance and safety, Dr. Moore-Ede has advised Fortune 500 companies worldwide. His work on the harmful effects of artificial lighting led him to establish the CIRCADIAN Light Research Center and later CIRCADIAN ZircLight, where he developed evidence-based circadian lighting solutions to promote better health and well-being.

Dr. Moore-Ede has authored 10 books and over 180 scientific papers on circadian physiology, fatigue, and the consequences of circadian disruption. He has testified before Congress, served on international advisory committees, and has been featured in major media outlets, including CNN, The Today Show, Good Morning America, NPR, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.

In this episode, Dr. Moore-Ede shares his insights on the critical role of circadian rhythms in human health, the dangers of modern lighting, and how we can realign our biology with natural light cycles to improve sleep, productivity, and overall well-being.
