About This Site

CircadianMeals.com is run by Tyson Gaylord. It exists because meal-timing advice online splits into two unhelpful camps: influencers selling time-restricted eating as a miracle fat-loss hack, and skeptics who write the whole thing off. The truth is more useful and more boring. When you eat genuinely changes how your body handles food, the effect is clearest for blood sugar and sleep, and it is oversold as a weight-loss trick. This site publishes that honest middle, with the evidence attached.

How the Content Is Built

The guides are assembled from published research: Satchin Panda's circadian biology work at the Salk Institute, the TREAT and New England Journal of Medicine trials that tested time-restricted eating head to head, the melatonin-and-glucose studies on late eating, and the night-shift eating research. Where the evidence is strong I say so. Where it's thin or oversold, I say that too. When new research moves a claim, the pages change.

Gear pages compare published specs, current prices, and warranty terms. Prices are checked at publication and dated, and they move, so I flag them as such. I don't accept payment for placement, and recommendations regularly point at the free or cheap option because it's regularly the right one.

How the Site Makes Money

Affiliate commissions on some gear and book links, disclosed on every page that carries them and detailed on the affiliate disclosure page. The guides, the FAQ, and the printable protocol are free and carry no product placement.

Related Sites

This site is one half of a pair. CircadianMeals covers the food side of your body clock. Its sister site CircadianBulbs.com covers the light side, which is arguably the stronger signal. Morning light anchors the clock that makes early eating work, and blue light at night undoes it. If you're fixing your rhythm, fix both.

A Word on Medical Advice

Nothing here is medical advice. Meal timing interacts with blood sugar, medication, and real medical conditions. If any of that applies to you, work with your doctor. See the health disclaimer for the full picture.
