#1182 The Hidden Hormone Driving Belly Fat, Stress, and Metabolic Slowdown — And the 30-Day Protocol That Fixes It With Ben Azadi

2025-12-1122:10

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the real reason stubborn belly fat won’t budge — and why calories, harder workouts, and longer fasts aren’t solving the problem.The culprit is cortisol, the stress hormone that tells your body to store fat — especially visceral fat around your organs, the most dangerous kind. Ben breaks down the science doctors rarely explain: how cortisol rhythms, circadian biology, and fat tissue hormone receptors determine where you store fat and how resistant your fat becomes. You’ll discover the 6-step cortisol fix that has helped thousands melt visceral fat naturally: Why fasted running increases belly fat — and what type of morning movement to do instead How to reset the cortisol awakening response with sunlight, delayed caffeine, and screen-free mornings How stress keeps fat cells inflamed — and how breathing, downtime, and “Vitamin G” lower cortisol instantly Why over-fasting backfires — and how protein-focused meals stabilize hormones The strength-training and sprint protocol that builds cortisol-resilient muscle Habits that reduce long-term stress load so your body finally feels safe to burn fat You’ll also get Ben’s 30-Day Cortisol & Belly Fat Reset Plan — the exact week-by-week blueprint he gives his private clients to shrink their waist, lower inflammation, stabilize mood, and reverse metabolic dysfunction. He closes with listener Q&A on testing cortisol, the truth about fasted cardio, alcohol’s impact on fat loss, TOFIs (thin outside, fat inside), and the best ways to track real progress.

2025-12-1022:05

In this episode, Ben reveals the most researched, safest, and most effective supplement for lowering inflammation, shrinking visceral fat, boosting strength, and upgrading brain energy — and it isn’t a fat burner.

Ben breaks down how creatine protects your mitochondria, reduces inflammatory markers, increases lean muscle at any age, and improves memory, mood, and cognitive performance. You’ll learn why most store-bought creatine is contaminated or underdosed, what to look for instead, and why creatine deficiency — not aging — may be behind low energy, stiffness, and stubborn fat.

#1180 The Hidden Hormone Imbalances Behind Neck and Shoulder Pain That Most Doctors Miss — And How to Fix Them Naturally With Ben Azadi

2025-12-0923:15

Most people blame posture for their neck and shoulder pain, but research shows the real root cause is often hormones, not mechanics. In this episode, Ben explains how cortisol, thyroid hormones, sex hormones, insulin, and even growth hormone can lock your muscles into chronic tension and why most doctors miss these connections. You’ll learn how stress hormones alter pain pathways, increase inflammation, and create tight traps, stiff necks, and burning shoulders. Ben breaks down a simple daily Cortisol Calm Protocol using breathwork, post-meal walking, a no-stimulation hour, and gratitude to quickly shift your body out of fight-or-flight. He then exposes the deep link between an underactive thyroid and muscle aches, frozen shoulder, fatigue, and chronic stiffness — plus which full thyroid panel to request from your doctor (not just TSH). Next, he explains why women 40–60 experience sharp increases in joint pain during perimenopause and menopause due to changes in estrogen that affect lubrication, cartilage, strength, and inflammation. You’ll also hear why people with insulin resistance or diabetes are five times more likely to develop frozen shoulder. High insulin creates stiff connective tissue and slows healing. Ben gives practical metabolic strategies: lower carbs, test fasting insulin, walk after meals, strength train, and use intermittent fasting. The episode closes with the overlooked role of deep sleep and growth hormone in tissue repair. Poor sleep dramatically reduces recovery, while fasting and strength training boost growth hormone naturally.

#1178 Better Than Ozempic - The Science of How a 24-Hour Fast Melts Visceral Fat, Heals Your Organs, and Reboots Your Metabolism — With Ben Azadi

2025-12-0722:17

In this episode, Ben breaks down why a simple 24-hour water fast can outperform Ozempic for fat loss, metabolic health, and longevity. While Ozempic forces weight loss through slowed digestion and appetite suppression, it also causes muscle loss, reduced metabolism, and hormonal disruption. Fasting, on the other hand, works with your biology to burn fat and heal your body at the deepest cellular level. Ben walks through the hour-by-hour changes that happen during a 24-hour fast — from insulin dropping within the first four hours, to visceral fat mobilizing at fourteen hours, to autophagy and growth hormone peaking at twenty-four hours. He explains how fasting naturally boosts metabolism, protects muscle, reduces inflammation, supports mitochondrial function, and repairs the gut and digestive system. You’ll learn the exact protocol for a safe 24-hour fast, what to drink, how to break it properly, and the common fasting mistakes to avoid. Ben also answers listener questions about stress, supplements, nausea, cold sensitivity, and the best time of day to start a fast for maximum results. The message is clear: Ozempic suppresses. Fasting heals.This episode shows you why fasting is one of the most powerful — and completely free — metabolic tools available.

In this episode, Ben reveals three stupid-simple movements that activate fat loss in under five minutes a day — no gym, no sweating, no burpees.

2025-12-0322:35

In this episode, Ben reveals the 3-day science-backed protocol that rapidly reverses fatty liver — one of the most overlooked drivers of weight gain, fatigue, bloating, cravings, and insulin resistance. One in three people have fatty liver and don’t know it, but research shows you can transform your liver and metabolism in as little as 72 hours with a simple, free, strategic approach. Ben breaks down three powerful human studies showing how fasting switches the liver into fat-burning mode within hours, activates AMPK to reduce inflammation, improves insulin sensitivity, and lowers liver fat fast.

2025-11-2922:12

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down a powerful 14-day protocol designed to melt visceral fat without exercise. Even people who eat clean and work out can still store dangerous fat around their liver and organs due to high insulin, liver inflammation, and sluggish mitochondria. Ben explains how this step-by-step plan lowers insulin, unclogs the liver, boosts bile flow, and reactivates mitochondrial fat burning. Listeners will learn how to use a daily insulin reset window, protein-first eating, carb sequencing, the Liver Flush Cup, nitric oxide activation before meals, and a protein-forward day. Ben also covers how to use a mini 20-hour fast, a 10-hour eating window, fat-loss coffee made with olive oil, bitter liver-supporting foods, and nighttime cortisol-lowering rituals. The protocol finishes with a 24-hour fast followed by a strategic carb-refuel to restore leptin sensitivity and break plateaus. By day 14, you can expect better insulin control, reduced liver fat, improved metabolic flexibility, more energy, clearer thinking, and measurable decreases in visceral fat. Ben also answers listener questions about repeating the protocol, how to modify it for keto/carnivore, coffee alternatives, olive oil intake, and why alcohol slows results.
