The behavior and physiology of most organisms are temporally coordinated and aligned with geophysical time by a complex interplay between the master and peripheral clocks. Disruption of such rhythmic physiological activities that are hierarchically organized has been linked to a greater risk of developing diseases ranging from cancer to metabolic syndrome. Herein, we summarize the molecular clockwork that is employed by intestinal epithelial cells to anticipate environmental changes such as rhythmic food intake and potentially dangerous environmental stress. We also discuss recent discoveries contributing to our understanding of how a proper rhythm of intestinal stem cells may achieve coherence for the maintenance of tissue integrity. Emerging evidence indicates that the circadian oscillations in the composition of the microbiota may operate as an important metronome for the proper preservation of intestinal physiology and more. Furthermore, in this review, we outline how epigenetic clocks that are based on DNA methylation levels may extensively rewire the clock-controlled functions of the intestinal epithelium that are believed to become arrhythmic during aging.
