About RhythmAndFood

An independent educational resource examining the science of eating rhythms and their relation to body weight and energy balance.

Our Purpose

RhythmAndFood was created to provide accessible, objective information about the science of daily eating patterns, circadian rhythms, and metabolic health. This resource synthesizes concepts from chronobiology, nutrition science, and metabolism research into explanatory content for general readers.

The field of chrononutrition examines how biological timing systems interact with nutritional intake. As research in this area evolves, we aim to present key concepts and findings in a clear, balanced manner without overstating conclusions or making unsupported claims.

Who We Are

This educational resource is developed by science writers with backgrounds in health communication and research synthesis. We are not clinicians, nutritionists, or medical practitioners. Our role is to explain scientific concepts and research findings, not to provide personalized advice or recommendations.

Our content draws from peer-reviewed scientific literature, though we present information in an accessible format rather than an academic style. We aim for accuracy and objectivity while acknowledging the limitations and ongoing debates within the field.

Our Approach

We focus on explanation rather than prescription. Our goal is to help readers understand the scientific concepts behind eating patterns and metabolism, not to tell them what they should do. We recognize that many valid approaches to organizing eating patterns exist, and that individual circumstances, preferences, and needs vary widely.

The content on this site describes research findings and scientific concepts without making promises of specific outcomes. We emphasize context, nuance, and the complexity of metabolic health rather than promoting simplified solutions.

What This Resource Is Not

RhythmAndFood is not a commercial service, program, or methodology. We do not sell products, services, or consultations. We do not offer personalized nutritional advice, meal plans, or health recommendations. We do not claim that specific eating patterns will produce particular results for individuals.

This resource does not replace qualified healthcare professionals. Decisions about eating patterns, nutritional intake, or lifestyle modifications should be made in consultation with doctors, registered dietitians, or other appropriate healthcare providers who can consider individual circumstances and health status.

Content Standards

We strive to present information that is objective, research-based, and appropriately qualified. We acknowledge areas of scientific uncertainty and avoid overstatement of current evidence. We do not cherry-pick studies to support predetermined conclusions.

Our content is reviewed for accuracy and clarity, though it should not be considered a substitute for direct consultation of primary scientific literature or professional guidance.

Ongoing Development

The science of chrononutrition continues to evolve as new research emerges. We aim to update content periodically to reflect current understanding while maintaining our educational, non-prescriptive approach.

We welcome feedback about content accuracy, clarity, or potential improvements. See our contact page for information on reaching us with questions or comments.
