In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, we dive deep into the science of fasting and what happens inside your body during a 36-hour fast. From lowering insulin and tapping into fat-burning mode, to activating autophagy (cellular cleanup) and boosting brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), this fasting timeline unlocks powerful metabolic benefits. We explore:
✅ The first 14 hours: Lower insulin, burn glycogen, and experience energy diversion.
✅ 16-hour mark: Autophagy kicks in, clearing out damaged cells and enhancing fat burning.
✅ 24-hour mark: Digestive system reset with an intestinal stem cell reboot.
✅ 30-hour mark: BDNF production surges, improving brain function and mental clarity.
✅ 36-hour mark: Significant fat loss, increased ketone production, and a metabolic reset.
Ben answers common fasting questions, including muscle loss concerns, what to drink, exercise during fasting, and the best way to break a 36-hour fast. Plus, hear about the longest fast ever recorded!
