Mini Mikkipedia - Why You’re Starving at Night (And What to Do)

If you feel in control all day but lose it at night, this episode explains why—and it’s not a discipline problem. Mikki breaks down the physiology behind evening hunger, showing how under-eating earlier in the day, low protein intake, and unstable blood glucose create a cumulative energy deficit your body is wired to correct. She explores the roles of key appetite hormones like ghrelin, leptin, GLP-1, and PYY, along with the impact of stress hormones, cognitive fatigue, and circadian rhythms. This episode reframes nighttime hunger as a predictable biological response, not a personal failure. Mikki also outlines practical strategies—like front-loading protein, structuring meals, and avoiding the “save calories for later” trap—to help regulate appetite and reduce evening overeating.
