NCT05628012

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to learn more about how the time in which participants consume their meals relative to their personalized circadian rhythm influences their overall cardiometabolic health and weight. The investigators are hoping to discover if a circadian-based time restricted eating intervention will improve cardiometabolic health and decrease weight. The protocol is a 46 day prospective cohort study that includes both field and in-laboratory data collection in overweight and obese individuals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

  • Dim-Light Melatonin Onset

    Saliva samples will be collected during baseline week and will be assayed for melatonin using standardized assays. Dim-light melatonin onset will be calculated using the linear interpolated point in time in which each participant's melatonin crosses and remains elevated above a 4pg/mL threshold.

    7.5 hours

  • Changes in Blood Pressure

    Changes in resting blood pressure will be measured every \~30 minutes via ambulatory blood pressure machines for up to 48-hours during weeks 0, 1, 5, 10, and 16. Blood pressure patterns during the day and night will be assessed, as well as a contrast of day and night time blood pressure levels. Examined using planned comparison dependent t-tests between the baseline and the five-week visit. These data will be used to calculate mean differences and standard deviations between the control and experimental group for future experiments.

    46 days

  • Changes in Heart Rate

    Heart rate will be measured every \~30 minutes via a blood pressure cuff. Examined using planned comparison dependent t-tests between the baseline and the five-week visit. These data will be used to calculate mean differences and standard deviations between the control and experimental group for future experiments.

    46 days

  • Changes in Hemoglobin A1c

    Changes in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) will be measured during weeks 1, 5, and 16. Examined using planned comparison dependent t-tests between the baseline and the five-week visit. These data will be used to calculate mean differences and standard deviations between the control and experimental group for future experiments.

    46 days

  • Changes in Total Cholesterol

    Changes in total cholesterol will be measured during weeks 1, 5, and 16. Examined using planned comparison dependent t-tests between the baseline and the five-week visit. These data will be used to calculate mean differences and standard deviations between the control and experimental group for future experiments.

    46 days

  • Changes in LDL and HDL cholesterol

    Changes in HDL and LDL cholesterol will be measured during weeks 1, 5, and 16. Examined using planned comparison dependent t-tests between the baseline and the five-week visit. These data will be used to calculate mean differences and standard deviations between the control and experimental group for future experiments.

    46 days

  • Changes in Triglycerides

    Changes in triglycerides will be measured during weeks 1, 5, and 16. Examined using planned comparison dependent t-tests between the baseline and the five-week visit. These data will be used to calculate mean differences and standard deviations between the control and experimental group for future experiments.

    46 days

  • Changes in Glucose

    Changes in glucose will be measured during weeks 1, 5, and 16. Examined using planned comparison dependent t-tests between the baseline and the five-week visit. These data will be used to calculate mean differences and standard deviations between the control and experimental group for future experiments.

Study Arms (2)

Circadian Based Time Restricted Eating

EXPERIMENTAL

Personalized restricted eating protocol approximately \~4h before DLMO or sleep onset.

Behavioral: Circadian Based Time Restricted Eating

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Continue with normal dietary habits and behaviors.

Interventions

Personalized schedule to restrict eating based on DLMO, approximately \~4h prior to DLMO or sleep onset.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 40 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • \. Healthy, overweight or obese individuals.

You may not qualify if:

  • Participants must have a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 27 kilograms per meter squared.
  • No history of drug or alcohol dependency. Must be current non-smokers, and are required to have a history of less than 5 pack years of smoking.
  • No history of working irregular day and night hours, regular night work, or rotating shift work for the 1 year prior to the study. In addition to this, individuals must not have traveled across more than 1 time zone during the 3 months prior to the study.
  • Chronobiologic and sleep disorders.
  • Diseases of the cardiovascular system.
  • Hypertension. Individuals will be allowed to be normotensive (resting systolic blood pressure of \<140/90 mmHg, measured on more than one occasion) or uncomplicated stage 1 hypertension (systolic BP between 140 and 159 mmHg or a diastolic BP between 90 and 99 mmHg).
  • Disorders of the respiratory system.
  • Pre-diabetes/Diabetes. For participants who have a fasting blood glucose level that is greater than or equal to 100 mg/dL, the investigators will measure hemoglobin A1c to exclude for diabetes (HbA1c\>5.7%).
  • Disorders of the kidney and urinary tract.
  • Infectious diseases.
  • Disorders of the gastrointestinal system.
  • Disorders of the immune system.
  • Disorders of the hematopoietic system.
  • Neoplastic diseases.
