The Ben Azadi Show

#1035 The Science-Backed Truth About Meal Timing, Nighttime Fasting, and Hormone Optimization With Ben Azadi


Listen Later

Eating close to bedtime may seem harmless, but it can spike insulin, disrupt melatonin, and block fat burning overnight. In this solo episode, Ben Azadi breaks down what happens when you don’t eat for 3, 5, and 8 hours before bed – and how each window impacts fat loss, inflammation, sleep quality, and anti-aging.

💥 Key Topics Covered:

  • How food before bed blocks melatonin & fat loss

  • Why insulin and cortisol spike with nighttime eating

  • 3h, 5h, and 8h eating cutoffs — and what changes in the body

  • Boosting autophagy, HRV, and REM sleep

  • Best late-day meals to support overnight fasting

  • Why skipping dinner won’t ruin your metabolism

  • Herbal teas, electrolytes & supplements: what’s okay after the cutoff

  • Combining this strategy with keto, low carb, or carnivore

    🔥 Learn the science. Apply the protocols. Wake up leaner and more energized.
