In this episode, Ben exposes a hidden ingredient the FDA quietly approved that’s now damaging your gut, metabolism, hormones, and mitochondria: industrial seed oils. These oils are found in more than 80 percent of the U.S. food supply and create toxic compounds linked to inflammation, insulin resistance, obesity, fatty liver, cravings, and even altered gene expression. Ben breaks down:• The 8 seed oils to avoid and why they’re so harmful• How companies hide them under over 50 different names• The shocking 680-day half-life of these fats in your body• How they trigger metabolic slowdown, hormone disruption, and gut permeability• Healthier fats to use instead for energy, fat loss, and cellular healing• How to avoid seed oils at restaurants using Ben’s free allergy card• Why seed oils may be worse for insulin resistance than sugar• Clean product swaps and detox strategies to repair your metabolism faster You’ll also learn how to clean out your pantry, support your mitochondria, and rebuild your cell membranes using simple daily practices.

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down the 10 critical carnivore mistakes that keep people inflamed, tired, constipated, and stuck. After coaching more than 10,000 people through carnivore resets, Ben reveals why carnivore works beautifully for 30 to 90 days — but backfires when done incorrectly. You’ll learn: • Why long-term carnivore can lower thyroid function, reduce microbial diversity, raise stress hormones, and stall progress.• The proper metabolic preparation before starting carnivore (low carb → keto → carnivore).• The hidden inflammation caused by pasteurized dairy — and why goat, sheep, and raw A2 dairy are superior.• Exactly how to break carnivore without wrecking your gut, including the 72-hour reintroduction rule.• The difference between clean animal fats and inflammatory PUFA-heavy meats.• How to hit the right protein target to avoid muscle loss and metabolic slowdown.• The importance of nose-to-tail nutrition and where to source clean meats.• Why electrolytes are non-negotiable and the signs you’re depleted.• How stress, sleep, and cortisol determine whether carnivore works at all.• The reminder that carnivore is a tool — not the whole toolbox. Ben also answers listener questions about constipation, duration of carnivore, and why a minority of people truly thrive long-term. 🔥FREE GUIDE: Lose 10 Pounds in 7 Days - https://bit.ly/3KJEqAi  👉Magnesium: https://amzn.to/3Ux3AmY  👉Potassium:  👉Electrolytes: http://www.ketokampsalt.com  use code AZADI  👉Wild Pastures: http://benazadi.com/meat 👉Paleo Organ Meat Complex: https://paleovalley.com/store?pc=pvpartners&oid=25&affid=68  📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today http://www.metabolicfreedombook.com  ($997 Retail Value For FREE) 🔎 Find All Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals
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.

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. It’s creatine monohydrate… but only the right kind. 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. He also shares his exact dosing protocol, travel hack for jet lag, how to take it without breaking a fast, and answers listener questions about timing, sleep, and supplement stacking.

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.

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. These moves target the three systems that slow down after 40: Lymphatic flow (your body's drainage + detox system) Insulin sensitivity (your fat-storage switch) Mitochondrial activation (your metabolic engine) You’ll learn: • Why fat loss is harder after 40 (and what to do instead of “working harder”)• How cross-crawls stimulate lymph flow and full-body circulation• How a squat hold with mini pulses unlocks insulin sensitivity• How wall angels activate mitochondrial-rich postural muscles• Why hormones matter more than calories for sustainable fat loss• How to layer these movements with walking, breathwork, cold exposure, or your existing routine• Why doing them for 14 days straight can create visible changes• How to make the moves harder as your body adapts• Why these movements are especially powerful for those who are sedentary, insulin resistant, or over 40 🎁 Free 7-Day Fat-Burning Guide - https://bit.ly/4owXsYy 📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today http://www.metabolicfreedombook.com  ($997 Retail Value For FREE) 🔎 Find all of the Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship deals and coupon codes here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals
In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the earliest warning signs of kidney decline—signals that appear years before traditional labs detect a problem. He explains why kidneys can lose up to 80% of their function with no pain, what subtle symptoms to watch for, and how insulin resistance, inflammation, uric acid, dehydration, and NSAIDs silently damage the kidneys. Ben shares the 7 major early symptoms most people miss: foamy urine, fatigue, puffy eyes, lower back discomfort, metallic taste, itchy skin, and frequent nighttime urination. He then guides listeners through the Metabolic Freedom Kidney Reset Protocol, a research-backed plan to regenerate kidney health naturally. This includes the renal reset morning drink, removing fructose and seed oils, kidney-support supplements, fasting strategies, mineral support, and the daily “Vitamin G” gratitude practice. Ben also answers audience questions on hydration, protein intake, keto, and kidney stress.

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. He also shares the step-by-step daily plan: Day 1: Choose your fasting level, break your fast with the Liver Flush Plate, and follow the circadian liver reset Day 2: Morning ACV protocol, post-meal walks, and zero fructose Day 3: Liver Reset Meal and inflammation control You’ll learn the exact foods that stimulate bile flow, the nutrients that repair liver cells, what to avoid, and how to sync your meals with your circadian rhythm for maximum healing. This simple 3-day fix leads to less bloating, better digestion, improved liver enzymes, increased energy, deeper sleep, and noticeable fat loss — all by working with your body’s innate healing ability. If you’ve struggled with stubborn belly fat or unexplained metabolic issues, this episode gives you the blueprint to take back control in just 72 hours.

In this episode, Ben breaks down the right way to use apple cider vinegar for fat loss, gut health, and stable energy. ACV only works when taken at the correct timing, and most people unknowingly do it wrong, which leads to cravings, blood sugar crashes, and zero progress. Ben explains why 10–20 minutes before your biggest meal is the sweet spot for lowering blood sugar spikes, improving insulin sensitivity, reducing cravings, and activating your fat-burning pathways. He also covers the benefits for acid reflux, GERD, bloating, and digestion — and why low stomach acid is the hidden reason many people struggle with gut issues. You’ll learn the ideal dosage, the difference between liquid ACV and supplements, why many gummies are useless, and a minute-by-minute breakdown of what ACV does inside your body. Ben also answers the most common listener questions about fasting, warm water, morning routines, and long-term use.

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.

What if the future of fat loss and rapid recovery isn’t a supplement, a workout program, or a diet plan, but a molecule your body already knows how to use? In this in-studio episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. Robert Bello, chiropractor and founder of Bio Thrive Peptides, for an eye-opening conversation about peptides like BPC-157 and TB-4 Frag. They explore how these compounds accelerate healing, support fat loss, restore joint function, boost hormone signaling, and reduce chronic inflammation safely and naturally. Dr. Bello breaks down the science behind peptide therapy, dosing strategies, sourcing standards, safety considerations, and red flags to avoid when purchasing peptides. Ben also shares his personal experience using The Wolverine Stack and the noticeable improvements in strength, recovery, and energy. If you’re curious about peptides, longevity medicine, or solutions for chronic pain and inflammation, this episode is a must-listen. 🔗 Products & Resources Mentioned Grab BioThrive Peptides with 10% OFF here: http://www.benazadi.com/biothrive (Coupon FREEDOM is automatically applied) 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@BenAzadi 📕 Ben’s Book: Keto Flex https://www.amazon.com/dp/1736163711 📱 Follow Ben Azadi Website: https://www.benazadi.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebenazadi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/benazadi.coach LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benazadi TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@benazadi 🏥 Dr. Robert Bello Chiropractic Clinics Precision Upper Cervical (Waldwick, New Jersey) — https://precisionuppercervical.com/ Bello Family Chiropractic (Clifton, New Jersey) — https://bellofamilychiro.com/ 🔎 Find all of the Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship deals and coupon codes here:⁠ ⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals
