In today’s episode, we dive deep into insulin resistance, late-night eating, circadian metabolism, low-carb living, and why eating after 6pm can completely derail weight loss, energy, sleep, blood sugar, and your overall metabolic health.

Most people focus on food choices, but the science says the timing of your meals has a massive impact on insulin, glucose control, fat-burning, hormone balance, and healthy aging — especially during the holiday season when eating patterns get chaotic.

We break down:
✅ Why late-night eating raises insulin for 6–10 hours
✅ Why you can wake up insulin resistant even if you didn’t eat overnight
✅ The “dawn effect” and why morning glucose spikes get worse with age
✅ Why intermittent fasting done wrong can damage your metabolism
✅ Why skipping breakfast and eating at night is the worst pattern
✅ How nighttime carbs vs. nighttime protein vs. nighttime fat affect insulin
✅ Why older adults become more insulin resistant in the evening
✅ How meal timing affects metabolic flexibility, weight loss, and inflammation
✅ How to enjoy holiday food without wrecking your progress
✅ Why WHEN you eat may matter more than WHAT you eat

If you’ve ever wondered why low-carb or intermittent fasting sometimes “stops working”… or why mornings feel harder as you age… this episode connects the dots.

We reference research on circadian biology, glucose metabolism, aging, cortisol, insulin signaling, and the metabolic slowdown that happens at night — and how shifting your meals earlier can dramatically improve your health.

This is the missing holiday hack.
This is the metabolic reset you didn’t know you needed.
This one concept can change your health:
It’s not just WHAT you eat — it’s WHEN you eat.
