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.
