In this Transformation Tuesday episode, Ben Azadi and Alex go deep on the real reason you keep going back to the same unhealthy habits, even when part of you knows better. It comes down to the software that was installed in you before you were seven years old, and a set of invisible chains you have never questioned. They break down how to actually rewrite that programming so the change finally sticks. What we get into: The "paradigm" running your life on autopilot, and why it was set before you turned seven The chained elephant story that explains why you stay stuck when you could easily break free How food and pharma companies engineered your cravings on purpose Why being wired for addiction is secretly a superpower once you learn to channel it The number one regret of the dying, and how to make sure it never becomes yours Why you can't outperform your own self-image, and the simple index card practice Ben used to rewire his How to stop reacting to your past and start creating from your future One line to remember: You can't escape a prison if you don't know you're in one.

In this episode, Ben Azadi sits down with addiction specialist Bitten Jonsson, who has spent nearly 40 years treating sugar and carb addiction. She breaks down how sugar acts like a psychoactive drug that hijacks your reward center, why some people are wired to be far more susceptible than others, and how three forces inside the body quietly drive the cycle of craving, bingeing, and shame. This might be the most eye-opening conversation we've had on why "just eat less" almost never works. What we get into: Why sugar, flour, and starches all act as psychoactive substances, not just the white powder The three types of eaters, and how to tell an addict from a harmful user The three forces driving overeating: the reward center, the reptilian brain, and the pancreas Why sensitivity to sugar is actually a survival superpower, not a weakness How real addiction hides behind labels like anorexia and binge eating disorder Why keto and carnivore can heal the system when moderation keeps failing The role of purpose, energy, and gratitude (vitamin G) in lasting recovery One line to remember: You are not addicted to food. You are addicted to the psychoactive substances hiding inside so many foods.

In this episode, Ben Azadi and his business partner Alex Montalente get real about the true cost of "sleep when I'm dead" hustle culture, and why grinding harder is quietly wrecking your health, your relationships, and even the success you're chasing. Alex opens up about the night he fell asleep at the wheel and crashed his car into a cemetery, and Ben shares the panic attack that hit him right before a major launch after doing 65 podcast interviews in 60 days. Then they flip it and show you how to actually have it all: the health, the happiness, and the success. What we get into: A new definition of success that finally takes the pressure off The quiet warning signs your body sends before a full burnout How to work smarter, not harder, with the 3-day schedule high performers live by (performance, buffer, and free days) Why you actually get more done by doing less The Bob Proctor idea that rewires your whole relationship with work: you work for satisfaction, you provide services for money How to stop moving the goalpost so you finally feel like you're winning One line to remember: You get more done by doing less, and you earn more by chasing purpose instead of the paycheck.

Keto worked like magic in your 20s and 30s, but then perimenopause hit, and it stopped. Ben Azadi joins Andrea Donsky, author of Nourishing Menopause and 7x published menopause researcher, to explain why strict keto and fasting can backfire on shifting hormones, and how "flexing" instead of white-knuckling gets you back to results.Ben Azadi is back, and this time he's telling us why strict keto is the wrong move once you hit perimenopause.We talk through his revised book Keto Flex and why "flexing" in and out of ketosis, instead of staying in it forever, is the piece most women in this life stage are missing.What you'll learn:➡ Why doing keto and fasting too aggressively in perimenopause can backfire on your cortisol and adrenals➡ What cyclical ketosis (keto flex) actually looks like week to week➡ How ketosis may affect leptin, thyroid (T3), and testosterone, and why your labs can look "normal" while you still feel off➡ Why brain fog and memory issues might improve with a fat-adapted metabolism➡ Which fats to build meals around, and which seed oils to quietly dropBuy Keto Flex Revised: The Advanced Guide to Metabolic Flexibility, Fat Burning, and Hormone Health for Every Body at Every Stage https://amzn.to/44I6BWIChapters:0:00 Welcome Back: Ben Azadi Returns to Talk Keto Flex 3:08 What's New in the Keto Flex Revised Edition 6:00 The 4 Pillars of KetoFlex: Adapt, Fast, Phase, Flex 11:34 Why Strict Keto Backfires in Perimenopause 14:54 How Keto Flex Affects Leptin, Thyroid (T3), and Testosterone 21:00 Brain Fog, Memory, and Mitochondria After 40 24:40 Keto Flex vs. Fasting Mimicking Diet, Plus Protein and Whole Foods 31:20 The Truth About Seed Oils (and a Joint Pain Story)Send us Fan Mail ======Morphus: Menopause Reimagined

I'm delighted to reconnect with my dear friend Ben Azadi today, in honor of his newly revised book, Keto Flex. Ben is a leading authority on metabolic health, an international Keystone speaker, and the New York Times best-selling author of Metabolic Freedom. In today's conversation, we discuss why women fail on keto. We examine how women's menstrual cycles and various life stages influence both the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting, and the importance of coming out of ketosis and incorporating feast days. We explain what the Randall cycle is, why we need to be finely tuned to it, how to support healthy cortisol regulation, particularly the HPA axis, and tools to determine whether we are balanced within the autonomic nervous system, including heart rate variability, sleep, and whether our glucose and ketones are within range. We also explore the effects of anti-nutrients and elimination diets, and Ben shares his approach for women who feel keto hasn't worked for them, explaining why keto should be viewed as a process rather than a diet. This is, as always, a truly invaluable conversation with my dear friend Ben Azadi. Stay tuned, as we will also be offering giveaways to listeners of Ben's new book, Keto Flex. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Various factors that could influence how women respond to a ketogenic diet How women need to adjust keto and fasting according to their menstrual cycle, perimenopause, and postmenopausal years, rather than continuously following the same approach Why Ben encourages women to have intentional feast days instead of remaining in ketosis indefinitely  What a feast day looks like,  and how it differs from a cheat day Why fasting should be adapted to how well your body tolerates stress Factors that can help to determine whether fasting is working for you Why you should adjust your training intensity and focus more on recovery as you get older How a temporary carnivore elimination diet can help identify foods your body doesn't tolerate Why Ben views keto as a metabolic process rather than a diet, and why he prioritizes lifestyle before medication Bio: Ben Azadi Ben Azadi, FDN-P, is a leading authority on metabolic health, an international keynote speaker, and the New York Times bestselling author of Metabolic Freedom. After facing his own health challenges, Ben transformed his life in 2008—losing 80 pounds and stepping into metabolic freedom. That turning point sparked a global mission: to help 1 billion people break free from physical and mental obesity through education, not medication.

Get ready for another great show with Ben Azadi, author of the new book KetoFlex. Ben has an incredible story—after struggling with obesity and depression in his early 20s, he lost 80 pounds and completely transformed his health. Today he's helping people better understand metabolism, fasting, and the ketogenic diet by simplifying complex science and turning it into practical, actionable habits that don't feel overwhelming. We talk about why eating too close to bedtime can interfere with your body's biggest fat-burning window of the day, why Ben believes in making just one "tweak a week" instead of overhauling your life overnight, and why he says, "You don't lose weight to get healthy—you get healthy to lose weight." We also discuss metabolic flexibility, the role of hyperinsulinemia and seed oils in today's obesity epidemic, why keto isn't meant to be a forever diet, and the simple mindset shifts that make lasting change possible—including Ben's memorable reminder: "If you treat your health casually, you'll end up a casualty." Ben also shares the productivity habits that have helped him write multiple bestselling books while staying focused on his mission of helping others reclaim their health. Ben Azadi is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and functional diagnostic nutritionist known as "The Health Detective." After struggling with obesity and depression in his early 20s, he transformed his health by losing 80 pounds and reducing his body fat to 6%—an experience that inspired his mission to help others improve their metabolic health. Today, Ben is the founder of Keto Kamp, where he educates people on intermittent fasting, the ketogenic diet, and metabolic flexibility. He is also the host of the award-winning Metabolic Freedom podcast, which was named Keto Podcast of the Year at the 2022 Metabolic Health Summit. TIMESTAMPS: Ben Azadi explains in this podcast some complex scientific insights about sleep, about metabolic health, about how the body's supposed to burn fat while we sleep, about what's going on during the day and how to manage this global obesity epidemic. [01:05] Ben's story of being a very unhealthy depressed young man involves an 80-pound weight loss he experienced. This started his journey toward better health. He will explain the basics of the ketogenic diet. [04:55] If you treat your health casually, you'll end up a casualty. If you are 23 years old or 63 years old, your body will respond when you change the signals you're giving it. [10:10] What does it take to get motivated and inspired to take on the responsibility of managing your own health? [16:31] When you eat too close to bedtime, you're missing out on the most important window within a 24-hour period for fat loss and fat burning. [18:14] If you eat the same meal in the morning and evening with exactly the same calories and micronutrients, the insulin response is different. [22:44] When you are most insulin sensitive in the morning, is that a good time to fast? [28:40] If you put rules and guidelines into your life, that is a really nice method of succeeding. [32:34] Start with whole foods, start with good sleep, start with movement and then build from there. [37:33] Keto Flex is a spin on metabolic flexibility. It's do keto but don't do it forever. [38:22] When you're in ketosis, it signals to your body that you're going through kind of like a famine. It's a stressor to the body. [43:13] How did Ben lose 80 pounds in nine months? You don't lose weight to get healthy, you get healthy to lose weight. [48:54] Are seed oils promoting hyperinsulinemia or are there other things at play here that's interfering with our ability to burn stored body fat? [52:33] The definition of whole food is that it is a single ingredient food. [58:11] What kind of application does the consumption of exogenous ketones have? [58:42] Ben explains his KetoFlex plan here. [01:01:04] Ben shares some of his secrets of managing his busy life, writing books, teaching, podcasting and keeping that 80 pounds off.

Quantum Biology for Women over 40 and metabolic flexibility could be the missing keys to lasting fat loss, better hormones, and more energy.     In this episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa sits down with bestselling author Ben Azadi to unpack why staying in ketosis year-round may not be the healthiest strategy. Ben explains metabolic flexibility, how insulin resistance develops, why most Americans are stuck burning sugar instead of fat, and how cycling in and out of ketosis can improve long-term health.     They also discuss intermittent fasting, protein needs for women over 40, muscle preservation, GLP-1 medications, autophagy, insulin sensitivity, creatine, and why metabolic health matters more than simply losing weight. Ben shares his practical 5-1-1 Keto Flex protocol, beginner fasting recommendations, and simple strategies anyone can start using to improve hormone health, longevity, and body composition.    

Your body cannot release stored fat or heal itself when it perceives threat; gratitude is the measurable physiological switch that lowers cortisol, raises oxytocin, and allows metabolic transformation.DESCRIPTIONBen Azadi lost 80 pounds and reversed suicidal depression through metabolic healing. His father wasn't as fortunate—a preventable decline into type 2 diabetes, neuropathy, and stroke in 2014. That loss forged his purpose: reach one billion people and reverse type 2 diabetes in a million within a decade.But Azadi's message diverges sharply from the biohacking mainstream. While cold plunges and red light have their place, they're secondary. The foundation is unglamorous: gratitude, sunlight, grounding—all free, all measurable in blood work and heart rate variability.The science is stark: stress elevates cortisol; cortisol packs visceral fat around your organs. Gratitude does the inverse. Peer-reviewed research shows intentional gratitude practices reduce all-cause mortality by 9 percent and cardiovascular death by 15 percent.KetoFlex Revised, his new book, merges this psychological work with metabolic flexibility—teaching your body to burn fat instead of remaining locked into sugar dependence. His thesis: most people major in the minors, chasing complexity while overlooking what actually works.Ben Azadi Contact Info:https://KetoFlexBook.comSocial Media LinksInstagram: instagram.com/thebenazadiFacebook: facebook.com/thebenazadiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KetoKampTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebenazadiSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

If you've tried keto, fasting, or cutting carbs and felt like your body just won't cooperate the way it used to, you're not broken and you're not doing it wrong. You may just be missing the piece that makes it sustainable: flexibility.In this episode, Dr. Shivani Gupta sits down with returning guest Ben Azadi, FDN-P, New York Times bestselling author of Metabolic Freedom, to talk about his newly revised book, Keto Flex. Ben explains why keto isn't a diet at all, but a metabolic process nearly all of us are born knowing how to use, and why most people, especially in midlife, have simply forgotten how to access it. They dig into why the real question isn't "how do I lose weight," but "how do I lower inflammation and insulin," and why that shift changes everything.This conversation is for anyone who has felt like a walking science experiment with their own body: trying a plan, watching it work for a while, then hitting a wall with no clear reason why. Ben and Dr. Shivani talk through what makes this approach different for women, especially in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal years, and how to build metabolic flexibility gently instead of forcing it.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy keto is a metabolic process your body already knows, not a diet you have to forceThe real question to ask instead of "how do I lose weight": how to lower inflammation and insulin firstThe four-pillar framework (adapt, fast, phase, flex) and why the last pillar is where true customization beginsWhy fasting is a stress on the body, and how to tell if you're adapting to it or being harmed by itHow anti-nutrients like oxalates, tannins, and phytates can quietly block progress, even in "healthy" keto foodsWhy women in perimenopause and postmenopause need a different approach than men, and what to track along the wayRESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Inflammation Code (book)https://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas Supplements (use code CODE15 for 15% off your first order)https://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox Challengehttps://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/Work with Dr. Shivani — Free Discovery Callhttps://shivanigupta.com/ABOUT BEN AZADIBen Azadi is a leading authority on metabolic health and the New York Times bestselling author of Metabolic Freedom.

Why do some people have steady energy, maintain a healthy weight, and go hours without thinking about food, while others are constantly battling cravings, brain fog, energy crashes, and stubborn weight gain?   According to Ben Azadi, the answer has less to do with calories and more to do with metabolic health. In this episode, we explore why keto can be one of the most powerful tools for restoring metabolic function, but why staying in ketosis forever may actually limit your long-term progress.   Drawing from his new book Keto Flex, Ben explains why the real goal isn't permanent ketosis. It's metabolic flexibility: giving your body the ability to switch effortlessly between burning fat and carbohydrates depending on what life demands.    We discuss when keto works best, when to strategically bring carbohydrates back in, how fasting fits into the equation, and the biggest mistakes people make when trying to optimise their metabolism.  

"There's no such thing as a weight problem — it's a weight symptom." Ben Azadi joins Robert Lufkin MD to dismantle the calorie myth and reveal the metabolic root cause underneath stubborn fat, fatigue, and disease.Ben Azadi — functional health practitioner, founder of Keto Camp, and bestselling author of "Metabolic Freedom" — unpacks metabolic flexibility, diet variation, fasting, and why staying in ketosis forever can backfire. He previews his revised book "Keto Flex" (out July 21) and shares how he lost 80 pounds and rebuilt his metabolism from the inside out.Chapters:00:00 — Introduction01:30 — Ben Azadi's 80-Pound Transformation Story03:00 — What Was Actually Broken in His Metabolism06:00 — "You Don't Have a Weight Problem, You Have a Weight Symptom"07:30 — The 3 Percenters: Why 97% Chase Symptoms08:30 — Ask the Right Question: How Do I Lower Insulin?09:30 — Diet Variation: Why Cycling In and Out of Ketosis Works Better12:00 — Feast Day vs Cheat Day: Flexing to Healthy Carbs13:30 — Warning Signs You've Stayed in Keto Too Long15:00 — Hormesis, Stress, and the Post-Menopause Caveat16:30 — Using Heart Rate Variability to Dial In Your Stressors18:00 — The Carnivore "Toxin Terminator" and Plant Compounds22:30 — Chapter 9: A Customized Keto Plan for Women25:30 — Fasting, Autophagy, and mTOR Balance28:30 — How a 48-Hour Fast Resensitizes Your Dopamine Receptors30:00 — Where People Get Fasting Wrong (Don't Forget to Feast)33:00 — Metrics That Track Real Progress (Glucose, CGM, Oura)34:30 — AI, Wearables, and the End of One-Size-Fits-All Diets37:30 — What's New in the Revised Keto Flex40:30 — Metabolic Freedom vs Keto Flex: Which Book First?42:00 — Final Message: Identify the Interference, Let the Body HealKey takeaways:Weight is a symptom, not the problem — chase the root cause (insulin, inflammation, hormones), not the number on the scale.Metabolic flexibility beats rigid dieting: cycling in and out of ketosis with feast days keeps the body adaptive.Staying in ketosis indefinitely can backfire — watch for warning signs and build in strategic carb refeeds.Hormetic stressors (fasting, cold, exercise) help — but dose them to your recovery, tracked via HRV and tools like the Oura ring.A 48-hour fast can resensitize dopamine D2 receptors and reset reward signaling.Women often need a cyclical, customized keto approach — one-size-fits-all fails.Studies & sources:Fasting and dopamine D2 receptor availability — Dunn et al., Diabetes Care 2012 — diabetesjournals.orgKetogenic diet raises glutathione (hormesis / antioxidant defense) — Napolitano et al., Metabolites 2020 — pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.govBen Azadi's revised book "Keto Flex" (bonuses) — ketoflexbook.comDr. Lufkin's book "Lies I Taught in Medical School": robertlufkinmd.com/lies⭐ Enjoying the show?

Angela welcomes back Ben Azadi, author of the new book "Metabolic Freedom" to delve into the critical differences between metabolic freedom and the common state of metabolic prison, where individuals are trapped in a cycle of sugar burning and insulin resistance. Ben shares insights from his extensive research, stressing the importance of maintaining balanced blood sugar levels and the role of muscle mass in enhancing insulin sensitivity, while Angela recounts her personal journey with PCOS and how dietary changes transformed her health. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many individuals are trapped in a "metabolic prison," primarily burning sugar for energy, which can lead to insulin resistance and various health issues. In contrast, metabolic freedom allows the body to efficiently switch between burning sugar and fat, promoting better energy levels and overall health. High insulin levels are a precursor to metabolic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease. Regular testing of fasting insulin levels is crucial for assessing metabolic health, with optimal levels being in the single digits. Increasing muscle mass through strength training enhances insulin sensitivity and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Maintaining muscle as one ages can prevent metabolic slowdown and promote better health outcomes. Focusing solely on calorie counting can be misleading. Instead, prioritizing the quality of food—such as whole, unprocessed foods—can lead to better hormonal balance and overall health, making weight loss a natural side effect of improved health. Chronic stress can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which promote fat storage and hinder fat burning. Managing stress through various methods, including exercise and mindfulness, is essential for maintaining metabolic health and overall well-being. BEST MOMENTS "Unfortunately, most people are in a metabolic prison. They're handcuffed by food in order to have some short energy... when you are stuck burning sugar, it's not a fun way to live." "I think the misconception is that if we don't have good control of our metabolism, then we're going to look overweight. I certainly didn't... I was slim and fit and looked fine." "High levels of insulin... it's the first domino to fall that leads to all these metabolic diseases. It starts with high blood pressure, you start gaining weight, and then it's pre-diabetes." "We have a slight advantage insofar as we have a menstrual cycle and we can check what's going on... I think that maybe we're a little more conscious of our health because we get these signs."

I decided to give the carnivore diet a shot. I ate nothing but meat for 90 days in a row. I decided to get extensive lab testing done on day 1 and day 90. You will not believe my day 90 results. Why did I decide to do carnivore? The benefits of carnivore. The lab tests that were done: Comprehensive blood work Stool test  Other metrics tracked. Sleep HRV Resting heart rate Total weight Body fat % Digestion  Bowel movements  THE RESULTS…. Before I get into the specific lab results, I'll share these results. I lost 16 pounds of fat (show photos of me in front of mirror) in folder. 3 photos.  My sleep improved. HRV improved. Resting heart rate. Got up less times throughout the night. Digestion was great, minimal gas. I pooped less but not constipated.  Nothing substantial to report in regards to blood sugar, it was pretty stable, between 70-110 mg/dl throughout.
