In this episode of The Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi reveals the science-backed nighttime protocol to unlock your body’s natural fat-burning potential while you sleep. If you’re waking up tired, anxious, or stuck at the same weight, your evening habits—not your workouts—are likely to blame. Ben shares nine simple steps to lower cortisol, balance hormones, and enhance deep, restorative sleep for faster fat loss and better energy. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Fat loss happens at night, not in the gym. A stable nighttime routine balances cortisol, insulin, and melatonin. The Salt & Honey Rescue helps stop 2–4 a.m. wake-ups by stabilizing blood sugar. Apple cider vinegar after dinner blunts glucose spikes and activates fat burning. Finish eating 3–5 hours before bed to drop insulin and boost growth hormone. Mouth taping  promotes nasal breathing for deeper rest. Use cold exposure and dim lighting to activate your parasympathetic nervous system. Digital detox: avoid screens 1 hour before bed, or wear VivaRays blue-light blockers  Practice gratitude (“Vitamin G”) to lower cortisol and improve sleep quality.

You’ll learn how to prepare safely, when to fast, and how to break it properly for maximum healing.
