How Circadian Rhythms Influence Sleep, Hormones & Bio-Timing with Dr. Corey Schuler: RWP Episode 10
Sat Feb 07 2026
Corey Schuler is a holistic family nurse practitioner who discusses the circadian rhythm, the body's internal time clock, with host Dr. Ben Weitz. Both the central clock and peripheral time clocks control the metabolism of the body, our sleep, alertness, body temperature, and even our gene expression. Our modern lifestyle, lack of sleep, exposure to artificial and blue light, caffeine consumption, etc. has had a negative impact on our natural circadian rhythm and this may result in many negative health consequences. We discussed how stress, adrenal function, and the HPA axis impact our circadian rhythm.
