David, it has been a joy having you on the program.

Thank you for your time.

Scientists have done it.

They've computed the exact time before bed that you should stop eating.

So midnight snackers, brace yourselves because you'll learn why bedtime pizza is bad for your health.

Midnight Snackers, brace yourselves.

There's new research that suggests your late night romantic relationship with your fridge might be messing with your heart.

Turns out when you eat could matter almost as much as what you eat.

Wait, are you telling me that bedtime pizza is medically suspicious?

I am here with someone to discuss just this.

Her name is Jess Cording.

She's a dietician, health coach, and author.

Jess, welcome to the program.

I feel like eating before bed is something I don't do only because I brush my teeth.

And after I do that midnight teeth brush, it's my natural food cutoff.

But a lot of people do it.

Is there anything wrong with it?

Like, would health advice tell you to not snack before bed?

And what sort of thing is it all created equally?

Like if I eat a bag of chocolate versus, I don't know, a handful of kale, is bed eating or midnight eating bad no matter what you eat or is different things hit you differently?
