Why You Wake Up at 2–3 A.M. The Hidden Cortisol Spike Causing Belly Fat, Low Testosterone, and Poor Sleep and How to Fix It Naturally With Ben Azadi | #1263

About this episode

If you wake up in the middle of the night alert and wide awake, it’s likely a nighttime cortisol spike, not insomnia. When blood sugar drops overnight, your adrenal glands release cortisol to raise it, shutting down melatonin and waking you up. This can lead to: Poor sleep quality Increased belly fat Lower testosterone Higher inflammation Most people are deficient in magnesium, the key mineral that helps regulate cortisol. Protocol: 300–400 mg elemental magnesium 60–90 minutes before bed Use glycinate, threonate, or taurate forms Also: Get morning sunlight Eat dinner 3 hours before bed Avoid heavy carb spikes at night This isn’t a sleep problem.It’s a hormone timing problem. Fix the mineral. Stabilize blood sugar. Anchor your circadian rhythm. 🔥CLICK to Get Your Magnesium (20% off code FREEDOM) HERE → https://bit.ly/473E7rO FREE GUIDE: The 5 Step Egg Rules To Speed Up Fat Loss HERE - https://bit.ly/3Mpy8Xy 📚 🎁  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.
