Reading about eating various foods, such as seasonal, and eating specific foods during specific times of the day can benefit symptoms such as high cortisol, hypoglycemia, diabetes, lipids etc..
The science of chronobiology consists of maximizing healing by eating the right food at the right time, synchronizing with diurnal, nocturnal, and the circadian rhythm.
Pharmacology journals, report time taking meds, food intake on that day, weather, temperature, as well as body temperature, overall diet, gender, weight, etc.. can affect the way we metabolize drugs.
Russian athletes take chrono-nutrition very seriously, applying same principle when to take their vits and supps.
Look up also Dr Emmanuel Revicci, who devoted much of his research between weather, temperature etc... association with cardiovascular events affected by temperature, pollution, atmospheric pressures fluctuations, EMF and so forth.. Some of Dr Reviccin's research explains "cycles" of symptoms.
Plenty of articles to read. For eg, instead of using synthetic drugs to address diabetes, chrono-nutrition would work just as well:

Abstract
The "nutrition" function is fulfilled by a succession of physiologic actions of which the first is eating and the last is the intracellular metabolism of nutrients. These actions involve not only sensory processes subjected to neurocentral regulation but also peripheral metabolic, and hormonal processes. The physiologic "nutrition" function involves a number of parameters for which fundamental rhythms have been demonstrated, such as eating behaviors, intra- and extracellular metabolisms, hormone secretions and their effects on target organs, and use of food and nutrients. Each of these rhythms can be demonstrated under physiologic conditions but can be modified by environmental factors (temperature, light, seasons, physical and mental activity), disease states (many diseases can produce profound alterations in nutritional regulation processes), and drugs. Interactions between these rhythms also exist; for instance, eating behavior rhythms can be modified by sociocultural pressures and this can, in turn, modify the fundamental rhythms of biologic parameters. The unit of time that allows the study of these rhythms varies: in addition to circadian and ultradian rhythms, weekly (cisaseptian) and annual (circannual) cyclical changes should be taken into account when investigating human nutrition.
