Dr. Rhonda Patrick

you know, dozens of people talking about this.

And, and it's kind of funny when you kind of get that reverse thing that you're looking at when you're, when you get the data and then something else kind of pops.

Wow.

So eating late at night seems to be disrupting people's sleep.

And that's, that's, that's a real thing.

Yeah, exactly.

I mean, it takes like, what, five, how many hours of digestion that's going on while you're asleep?

That's the one thing, sleep.

So you were talking about these fast causes of insulin resistance, inflammation, chronic stress, high cortisol.

Yeah.

and then the last one insulin right too much insulin where where does lack of sleep come into that because i have seen i've read studies and we were talking a little bit about this before before we you know started the podcast and that is first of all when i became a new parent and i was my just my sleep was entirely wrecked i mean just entirely wrecked i mean i aged like 10 years and like but for a good cause but a good cause i would do it all over again in a heartbeat um

My postprandial glucose, which is what I was monitoring at the time with my continuous glucose monitor, was... I mean, it was not my normal... I mean, I was pre-diabetic.

It was unreal.

And so I started looking into literature, and this was the most surprising thing.

When I wanted to wear a CGM, I was more like...

how is watermelon going to affect my glucose?

And I was more interested in the fruit and the, oh, look what a grape did.

This is insane.

And then it was like the disrupted sleep and everything else, nothing mattered anymore.

I was like, this is real.
