Ben explains that insulin is not the enemy. It is a hormone that signals the body to store energy. However, when insulin stays elevated for long periods due to frequent eating and high carbohydrate intake, it blocks fat burning and contributes to metabolic dysfunction. The episode walks through the three metabolic phases of a 72-hour fast. During the first 24 hours, the body mainly uses stored glycogen for energy while insulin levels begin to decline. Between 24 and 48 hours, the body shifts toward fat burning and ketone production, allowing the brain and body to run more efficiently on fat for fuel. By the third day, insulin levels drop significantly and deeper processes begin, including increased fat burning and cellular repair through autophagy. Ben also discusses the role of visceral fat, why it is strongly connected to insulin resistance, and how lowering insulin for extended periods allows the body to finally access these stubborn fat stores. This episode highlights how longer fasting windows can help restore metabolic flexibility, allowing the body to efficiently switch between burning glucose and fat for energy. 📚 🎁 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.
