"Circadian Rhythms and Intermittent Fasting and Their Roles in Promoting Healthy Lifespan" Event Recap

The 3rd Annual LEE Tuh-Fuh & Ruby LEE Wang Zu-Ming Endowed Lecture, held on October 21, 2025, was a tremendous success, bringing together nearly 200 attendees both in-person and virtually. This year’s featured speaker, Dr. Satchin Panda of the Salk Institute, delivered an engaging presentation titled “Circadian Rhythms and Intermittent Fasting and Their Roles in Promoting Healthy Lifespan.” His talk offered fascinating insights into how aligning daily routines with the body’s internal clock can optimize metabolic health and promote longevity.

The event sparked meaningful discussion and reflected the growing community interest in science-based approaches to healthy aging. Attendees participated in an interactive Q&A session following the lecture, exploring practical applications of circadian biology and lifestyle timing for long-term well-being.

The Stein Institute for Research on Aging extends its heartfelt gratitude to Dr. KB and Linda Lim for their generosity in establishing and supporting this endowed lecture series. Their vision and commitment to free community education continue to make it possible for the public to access world-class, evidence-based information on health, aging, and wellness.

For over four decades, the Stein Institute has been dedicated to advancing education and outreach in healthy aging. Through meaningful collaborations with donors like the Lim Family, the Institute continues to expand its reach and impact across the community, fostering lifelong learning and engagement around wellness and longevity.

The Stein Institute also thanks the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UC San Diego for their ongoing partnership and co-sponsorship of this event. The lecture will be available soon on UCTV.
