We’ll talk about cultural breakfast traditions, dawn phenomenon, how medications play a role, and why some people genuinely feel better eating later. We’ll also walk through the signs that morning fasting isn’t supporting you, plus gentle options for people who aren’t hungry in the morning but still need fuel.

    Mar 11 2026

We’re diving into resistant starch, what it is, how it forms, and why it acts a little like fiber in the body. We’ll talk about the science behind how this can aid with gentler glucose rise, break down a recent study on resistant starch, and share easy ways to add resistant starch into your meals.
