Why meal timing matters

With Andrew McHill, PhD, Associate Professor and Director of the Sleep, Chronobiology, and Health Laboratory at OHSU.

About the Lecture

“Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.”

For decades, health and diet professionals have focused on what and how much you’re eating as a means to a “healthier you.” However, the timing of when you eat, particularly as it relates to your sleep-wake cycle, may be just as important for health, including metabolic function, hormone regulation, and heart function.  In this lecture, returning Science Pub speaker and sleep specialist Dr. Andrew McHill will uncover why the timing of your meals is important and take a look at recent trends in intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating.

Science Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region, recommended for ages 10 and over.
