#1167 The 36-Hour Fast That Reboots Your Metabolism: How Autophagy, Ketones, and HGH Transform Your Body From the Inside Out With Ben Azadi
In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down the science and real-life experience behind a 36-hour fast, explaining why this specific fasting window creates a powerful metabolic, hormonal, and cellular reset.
Ben walks listeners through the hour-by-hour stages of the fast — from digestion, to fat burning, to deep autophagy — and explains how fasting transforms the body at every level. He covers increases in human growth hormone, gut repair, ketone production, mitochondrial upgrades, and the mental clarity that comes from elevated BDNF.
He also answers the most common questions about long fasts:• What drinks or supplements break a fast• Whether women should modify fasting based on their cycle• How often to repeat a 36-hour fast• What symptoms are normal vs. concerning• Whether fasting impacts muscle• How to eat before and after a long fast for best results
Ben also explains who should not attempt a 36-hour fast and how to break the fast without losing the benefits. He emphasizes that fasting is not starvation — it’s a biological event designed for healing, fat loss, and metabolic restoration.
