Chronobiology Applications

Meaning

The practical implementation of the scientific understanding of biological rhythms—including circadian, ultradian, and infradian cycles—to optimize human health, performance, and therapeutic efficacy. These applications involve precise timing of behaviors, nutrition, exercise, and pharmaceutical or nutraceutical interventions to align with the body’s predictable internal biological clocks. In the hormonal domain, chronobiology informs the optimal administration of hormone replacement therapies and the timing of stress reduction techniques to synchronize with endogenous endocrine fluctuations.
