Circadian Health Regulation and Optimization for Rejuvenation Outcomes
Sponsor: Salk Institute for Biological Studies
Summary
In this single arm intervention trial, the investigators will assess the impact of a personalized lifestyle plan, centered on supporting biological rhythms, on blood sugar levels, physical, cognitive and immune function in older adults with a habitual eating window of 12 hours or more, and elevated blood glucose levels. All participants will be provided with a personalized circadian rhythm optimization plan (CRO) centered on improving (1) diet, (2) exercise (3) sleep habits based on their body's natural rhythms. The study includes a 2-week screening/baseline assessments, with follow-up health assessments at 2-months.

Circadian Rhythm Optimization
Participants will follow a Mediterranean diet while consuming all calories within a personalized 8-10 hour daytime window. They will increase daytime light exposure to at least one hour per day, engage in a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise each week (including at least two sessions lasting no less than 60 minutes), maintain a consistent 7-9 hour sleep schedule, and take supplements as recommended based on individual needs. Participants will also record all food and beverage intake, as well as exercise, using the myCircadianClock app.
