#974 3 Days, Zero Food: What a Water Fast Does to Your Brain, Belly & Energy Levels with Ben Azadi
In this video, we're breaking down the benefits hour by hour at critical milestones—14, 16, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 72 hours—so you can understand the science of fasting and how it helps you burn fat, boost brain health, and reset your metabolism. Now, let’s jump into the timeline! ⏳ 14 Hours: Fat Storage Hormone (Insulin) Drops 📉 At 14 hours, your insulin levels start dropping, which is huge for fat loss. 🚀 Insulin is your fat-storage hormone—when it's high, you store fat instead of burning it. 🔥 After 14 hours of fasting, insulin begins to fall, and your body starts using up its stored glycogen (sugar) reserves for energy. Wallet analogy vs bank account What you’ll notice: ✅ Feeling lighter 💨 ✅ Mental clarity kicks in 🧠✨ ✅ First signs of fat burning 🔥 ⏳ 16 Hours: Cellular Cleanup (Autophagy) 🧹 At 16 hours, your body activates autophagy—its self-cleaning mode. Think of it like a little Pac-Man 🟡 going through your body, eating up damaged cells, toxins, and cellular junk. This process: ✔️ Removes weak, inefficient cells ✔️ Prevents diseases like cancer & Alzheimer's ✔️ Repairs mitochondria for more energy ⚡ Garage analogy with a bunch of junk. 💡 Autophagy is the ultimate anti-aging hack! ⏳ 24 Hours: Digestive Reset + Growth Hormone Skyrockets 🚀 By 24 hours, two MAJOR things happen: 🔄 1️⃣ Digestive System Gets a Break! Your body stops using energy for digestion and instead focuses on: ✅ Healing the gut lining (great for leaky gut & bloating!) ✅ Reducing inflammation in the intestines ✅ Producing intestinal stem cells for gut repair 🌱 If you struggle with acid reflux, bloating, or digestive issues, this is a game-changer! ⚡ 2️⃣ Human Growth Hormone (HGH) SURGES! 💥 By the 24-hour mark, studies show a huge increase in HGH: ✔️ Up to 2,000% in men ✔️ Up to 1,300% in women ⏳ 30 Hours: Brain Supercharge (BDNF) ⚡ Here’s where things get next level… 🚀 At 30 hours, your brain starts pumping out BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor)—basically miracle-grow for your brain. 🎯 What happens? ✔️ Brain fog disappears ☁️➡️☀️ ✔️ Memory, focus & learning improve 📚 ✔️ Feels like a spiritual reset ✨ No wonder fasting is a key practice in almost every major religion! ⏳ 36 Hours: FAT-BURNING GOES FULL BLAST 🔥 At 36 hours, you enter deep fat-burning mode. Here’s why: 🔻 Insulin is at rock-bottom levels 🔥 Body fat gets mobilized for fuel 🩸 Your liver converts fat into ketones, which fuel the brain & body Links and Resources: 🎁📚 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Gary Brecka, Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

If you have extra fat around your belly that you just cannot seem to get rid of, I’ll be sharing with you a 7 simple step protocol that will allow you to lose stubborn fat within 14 days. Each step is linked to the next step, so be sure to follow this protocol the way it is laid out.. No, you don’t have to suffer. No, you don’t have to even count calories. No, you don’t have to rely on willpower. In fact, this will be easy. Let’s start with the first step… Step #1: The 3 exchange diet… A simple 3 dietary exchange…. Exchange 1: Remove The Following Insulin Spiking & High Plant Toxin Foods Wheat All grains Brown rice Millet White Rice Oats (Includes oatmeal) Barley Corn Soy Pasteurized Cow Dairy Spinach Kale Tomato Almonds & Almond flour Eggplants Peanuts & Peanut butter Replace With Following Insulin Friend & Low Plant Toxin Foods Cauliflower rice Squash rice Cabbage rice Sheep & goat dairy Coconut milk (unsweetened) Macadamia nut milk (unsweetened) Walnuts Pecans Pili Nuts Macadamia nuts Arugula Asparagus Exchange 2, replace inflammatory fats with healthy fats Remove The Following Bad Fats… Canola Oil (Rapeseed oil in the UK) Corn Oil Cottonseed Oil Safflower Oil Sunflower Oil Soybean Oil Rice Bran Oil Refined Peanut Oil Grapeseed Oil Fish Oil Replace With The Following Stable Fats (Saturated & Monounsaturated Fats) The Best Fats For Cooking at High Temps Are The Following Animal Fats: Butter Ghee Beef Tallow Duck Fat Lard (non hydrogenated from pastured pigs) The Best Fats For Salad Dressings, Drips & Low Heat Cooking Are The Following Fruit Based Fats: Coconut Oil Avocado Oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil The 3rd exchange is to replace sugar and artificial sweeteners with healthier choices.
