What Happens If You Drink Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Before Bedtime? | Dr. David Sinclair
In this in-depth presentation, Dr. David Sinclair breaks down the real science behind apple cider vinegar and why timing matters more than most people realize. This is not folk advice or wellness hype. This is a mechanism-driven explanation of how apple cider vinegar influences digestion, insulin sensitivity, fat oxidation, gut microbiome health, and long-term metabolic resilience. Dr. Sinclair explains why taking apple cider vinegar before meals, in the morning, or before bed produces very different physiological effects, and how each timing targets a specific metabolic pathway. You will learn how acetic acid activates cellular energy sensors, improves blood glucose regulation, supports digestive enzyme cascades, and mimics certain benefits of caloric restriction. The video also covers evidence-based dosing strategies, safety considerations, who should avoid certain timings, and how to integrate apple cider vinegar into a longevity-focused lifestyle. This talk is especially valuable for anyone concerned about insulin resistance, elevated fasting glucose, digestive dysfunction, or optimizing healthspan through simple, low-cost interventions grounded in biochemistry and physiology.
