#1221 7 Herbs That Shut Down Cortisol at Night, Melt Stubborn Belly Fat, and Help You Fall Asleep Faster Than Ever With Ben Azadi

If you are struggling with stubborn belly fat, poor sleep, anxiety, or nighttime restlessness, the issue may not be calories, carbs, or willpower. The real culprit is often elevated cortisol, especially at night when it should be low. In this episode, Ben explains how chronically high cortisol blocks fat loss, disrupts sleep, increases inflammation, and accelerates aging. He breaks down how cortisol is meant to follow a natural daily rhythm and why modern stress, screen time, caffeine timing, and under-eating can keep it elevated at night. You’ll learn about seven powerful herbs that help lower cortisol naturally, calm the nervous system, improve sleep quality, and support fat loss indirectly by restoring hormonal balance. Ben explains how each herb works, when to take it, and common mistakes people make when using supplements. The episode also covers what does not work for cortisol and sleep, how to safely stack herbs, how long to use them, and who should be cautious. Ben answers common listener questions about cortisol testing, fasting, melatonin, medication interactions, and long-term use. This episode is a practical, science-backed guide to helping your body exit survival mode so it can heal, burn fat, and sleep deeply again. 👉 Four Sigmatic Calm Organic Elixir Mix - https://bit.ly/4qXdLiN  🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE - https://bit.ly/3Lp0oZQ  📚 🎁  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.
