In This Episode:
Most people think of apple cider vinegar as a daytime wellness habit—but timing may be everything. In this episode, I explain why taking apple cider vinegar before bed can trigger powerful changes in your gut, metabolism, and sleep while you’re doing absolutely nothing.
If you’ve been looking for a simple habit with outsized benefits, this one deserves a closer look.
What Happens in Your Body While You Sleep
In this episode, I break down how acetic acid supports mitochondrial health inside your intestinal cells.
This process helps your body clear out damaged mitochondria, burn fat more efficiently, and lower inflammation overnight—without adding stress to your system.
The Gut–Sleep Connection You’re Probably Missing
You’ll also learn how strengthening the gut lining at night can improve sleep quality, stabilize blood sugar, and support a healthier microbiome. These internal shifts often show up the next morning as better energy, mental clarity, and a more refreshed feeling overall.
If you want to understand why this works—and how to do it correctly without damaging your teeth—this episode walks you through the science and the strategy behind one of the simplest nighttime habits you can try.
