Season 2 – Episode 4: In and out of sync

Did you know that your body has many body clocks? Like
instruments in an orchestra, they each have a specific role to
play, but how do they stay in rhythm with each other? In today’s
episode, Dr. Laura Kervezee dives deep into the different body
clocks, who is the conductor that makes our body run in harmony,
and what happens when the rhythm goes out of sync.
