Ultradian rhythms refer to the natural cycles of peak focus and alertness that occur throughout the day, typically lasting around 90 minutes. These cycles are driven by fluctuations in cortisol and other neurochemicals, and understanding how to leverage them can lead to enhanced productivity, learning, and well-being.
The podcast episodes AMA #1: Leveraging Ultradian Cycles, How to Protect Your Brain, Seed Oils Examined and More and Time Perception & Entrainment by Dopamine, Serotonin & Hormones both provide in-depth explanations of ultradian rhythms and how to structure your work and rest periods to align with these natural cycles.
