Extended References & Supporting Literature

This page provides the extended reference list supporting the concepts discussed in the poster presentation:

“Health and wellness emerge as downstream outcomes of sustained metabolic regulation supported by nutritional and environmental inputs.”

The references below reflect established research in circadian biology, metabolic regulation, mitochondrial physiology, sleep, stress, aging, and environmental influences relevant to metabolic health.
