Circadian Rhythm and the Gut with Dr Laura Brown

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.
