What is “metabolism” really? Not a magic switch, but your body’s engine, powered by resting energy expenditure.
Even light movement after meals keeps it ticking better than you think.

“Does eating after 8 p.m. make you fat?” 🍽️
The short answer — not really. The effect is mild — about 5 to 10% slower calorie burn at night, not the end of the world.

Question: “Dr Ben, if I have diabetes, must I stop eating sugar completely?”
It sounds logical — if sugar raises blood glucose, then cutting it should fix the problem.
But here’s the truth: diabetes isn’t caused by one spoon of sugar. It’s caused by how your body handles all forms of energy — carbohydrates, fat, and protein — over time.

Quick Answer
No, you don’t have to cut sugar out completely.
The goal isn’t zero sugar. The goal is stable blood sugar.
What matters most is how your meals are balanced, how much you move, and whether your body can process the fuel you give it.

Question ”when I sweat buckets at the gym, does that mean I’m burning more fat?”
Quick answer — no. Sweat doesn’t mean you’re burning fat. It just means your body’s cooling itself down.

It’s easy to see why people think that. You finish a workout drenched and think, “That’s fat leaving my body.” But what you’re really seeing is your air-conditioning system at work. Sweat helps stop you from overheating — not proof that you’ve melted any fat.

So don’t chase sweat — chase consistency. A steady workout that keeps you moving longer burns far more fat over time than one that just leaves you soaked.

“Should I wash my husband’s work clothes separately?”
The short answer — no. Ordinary detergent and a normal wash are enough.

Bend It with Dr Ben - Intermittent Fasting (full episode)

Does Intermittent Fasting Really Work?

We’ve all heard about intermittent fasting (IF) — but does it actually boost your metabolism and help you lose weight… or is it just another health trend?

In this episode of Bend It with Dr Ben, I break down what science really says about fasting. From short-term studies to major research trials, we’ll explore how much of IF’s benefits come from when you eat — and how much comes from how much you eat.

Here’s what we cover:
✅ What intermittent fasting really does for your body
✅ What research says about metabolism, insulin, and heart health
✅ Why structure and mindfulness matter more than timing
✅ Who should be careful before trying IF

Intermittent fasting isn’t a magic fix — it’s a tool that works best when combined with consistency, balance, and medical guidance.

Stay curious. Stay informed. And keep bending those health truths until they finally make sense.

Bend it With Dr Ben - Metabolism with age (full episode)

“Does your metabolism really slow down with age?”
Think your metabolism crashes after 30? Think again.

In this episode of Bend It with Dr Ben, we uncover one of the biggest myths in health and ageing. Research shows your metabolism stays remarkably steady through your 30s, 40s, and even 50s — so if losing weight feels harder, the reason might not be biology... it’s lifestyle.

Less movement, less muscle, more sitting — those small shifts make a big difference.

The fix? Build and maintain muscle. Move more. Keep your body’s engine burning strong.

Learn why your metabolism isn’t “broken” — it’s just waiting for you to hit the accelerator again.

Dr Ben breaks down the science in simple terms and helps you separate fact from fitness fiction.

📺 Watch, learn, and keep bending those health truths until they finally make sense.
