Circadian Rhythm and the Gut with Dr Laura Brown

The SIBO Doctor Podcast

The human intestinal circadian rhythm influences gut movement, nutrient absorption, metabolism, and cell regeneration. Abnormal sleep-wake cycles and disruption of zeitgebers aggravate the circadian rhythm and make intestinal cells more vulnerable to injury. Chronic circadian rhythm disruption is linked to gastrointestinal diseases such as IBS and colorectal cancer.
