The Science Of Circadian Rhythms And How Melatonin Really Works
46:36 - 56:47 (10:11)
Taking melatonin could have dramatic effects on the timing and course of puberty, especially in supraphysiological levels. It's best to use light and temperature, and exercise to control your circadian rhythm, which is far more reliable than taking melatonin, an expert in the field shared on this podcast.

Melatonin inhibits the production of GnRH, LH, testosterone, and estrogen, making it a key factor in seasonal breeding and reproduction in animals.
46:36 - 50:20 (03:43)
Summary
Melatonin inhibits the production of GnRH, LH, testosterone, and estrogen, making it a key factor in seasonal breeding and reproduction in animals. High levels of melatonin can lead to decreased fertility in both male and female animals.

Summary
Taking supraphysiological levels of melatonin, such as those present in many supplements for developing children, may have significant effects on timing and progress of puberty. No study has been done on this topic yet. The best way to adjust one's circadian clock is through light, temperature, and exercise.

Summary
Manipulating temperature and light exposure can help to optimize the circadian rhythm, with cold showers or ice baths causing a rebound increase in body temperature and phase advancing the body clock. Additionally, timing meals and light exposure also play a role in boosting circadian rhythm.
