Modern science calls it the circadian rhythm, the internal clock that governs every function of our body. But centuries before this term existed, Ayurveda had already mapped this wisdom through Dinacharya, the rhythm of aligning our daily actions with nature’s cycles. In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devraj reveals why true health depends not just on how long you sleep, but when you sleep. He explains how going against your body’s clock, staying up late, skipping meals, or waking at odd hours quietly disrupts hormones, digestion, and mental clarity. Learn how restoring this natural rhythm can awaken energy, focus, and longevity from within.


Episode Highlights:

Understanding your body’s natural 24-hour clock

How late nights, jet lag, and screen time can disrupt your body.

Surprising link between circadian rhythm & autoimmune issues

Dhinacharya and Ratricharya.

The Power of Brahma Muhurta
