Why meal timing matters
With Andrew McHill, PhD, Associate Professor and Director of the Sleep, Chronobiology, and Health Laboratory at OHSU.
About the Lecture
“Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.”
For decades, health and diet professionals have focused on what and how much you’re eating as a means to a “healthier you.” However, the timing of when you eat, particularly as it relates to your sleep-wake cycle, may be just as important for health, including metabolic function, hormone regulation, and heart function. In this lecture, returning Science Pub speaker and sleep specialist Dr. Andrew McHill will uncover why the timing of your meals is important and take a look at recent trends in intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating.
Science Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region, recommended for ages 10 and over.

Dr. Andrew McHill is the Director of the Sleep, Chronobiology and Health Laboratory and an Associate Professor within the School of Nursing and Oregon Institute of Occupational Health Sciences at Oregon Health & Science University. He received his PhD at the University of Colorado Boulder and completed his post-doctoral fellowship training at Harvard Medical School and the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Dr. McHill is interested in understanding the contributing mechanisms by which the mistiming of behaviors (i.e. shiftwork or jetlag) and chronic insufficient sleep lead to adverse health and poor cognitive performance outcomes. Outside of working late nights in the lab, Andrew enjoys hiking the Oregon trails, watching all the PNW sports teams, and adventuring with his wife and two young sons.Â
