Body composition is ultimately the thing you are pursuing if you are working on your body…even if you don't know it yet.Body comp > weight scale numberOne is the bigger picture. The other doesn't even touch on the bigger picture. In this episode, I explain why body composition should always take precendence over simply looking at a number on the weight scale and running away with only that as a gauge of progress.DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualized advice for you!

What if your stubborn weight gain, fatigue, or blood sugar issues aren't just about food or hormones, but the toxins your body has been accumulating for decades? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with detoxification expert Dr. Wendy Myers to explore how heavy metals, environmental chemicals, and everyday exposures may be silently disrupting metabolism, insulin function, and mitochondrial energy. Dr. Myers explains why many people do everything right with diet and exercise yet still struggle with fatigue, weight loss resistance, and metabolic dysfunction. The conversation breaks down how toxic metals like arsenic, cadmium, iron, and mercury interfere with insulin signaling, damage cells, and contribute to conditions like pre-diabetes, fatty liver, and chronic fatigue. You'll also learn what real detox actually means, how to test for heavy metals, practical daily detox strategies, and emerging approaches like bioenergetic frequency tools. If you've hit a plateau despite healthy habits, this episode explores a powerful missing piece in metabolic health.

Working harder, not losing weight? If you're eating less, doing more workouts, and still struggling to lose weight, your metabolism may be the issue — not your effort. In this episode, we break down 5 mistakes that destroy your metabolism, including under-eating, over-exercising, skipping meals, relying on cardio, and always chasing fat loss. These habits make nutrition feel confusing, workouts feel exhausting, and consistency feel impossible. We talk about why eating too little slows your metabolism, how training smarter supports long-term results, and what to focus on instead if you want to lose weight without burning out. If you're ready to simplify your nutrition, build effective workouts, and create consistency that actually lasts, this episode will help you reset your approach and support your metabolism for real results.

I see 3 patterns that keep women stuck in the yo-yo cycle. 1. Adding more instead of fixing the one thing that's actually holding them back. 2. Only tracking the good days and wondering why the maths doesn't add up. 3. And treating restriction like a badge of honour when it's the exact thing causing the binges.

Thriving through Menopause with Fitness, Fat Loss and a Focused Mind
Are you exhausted from starting over with weight loss… again? If belly fat feels stubborn, your energy is low, and your body just isn't responding like it used to, this episode is for you. Today, I'm sharing a different approach to losing weight in midlife—one that doesn't rely on pressure, panic, or fixing yourself. Because for so many women over 40, the real issue isn't discipline. It's imbalanced hormones, elevated stress, and a body that needs safety, rhythm, and wisdom in this season. In this episode, we'll talk about why belly fat is hormonal (not a personal failure), how stress and cortisol impact your waistline, and why consistency now matters more than intensity. I'll walk you through five truths every midlife woman needs to know to lose weight with peace instead of pressure—and how to work with your body, not against it. This is about steady hearts, simple strategies, and hope for what's still possible—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If you're ready to stop striving and start moving forward with clarity and confidence, press play.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicked off with a State Department warning doubling down on U.S. citizens in Iran: anti-government protests have claimed over 600 lives, with security crackdowns, internet blackouts, and suspended flights raging across the country. Americans were urged to “leave Iran immediately,” via commercial or land routes like Turkey or Armenia, with the U.S. embassy stressing limited consular assistance and emphasizing the danger of arbitrary arrest—especially for U.S.–Iran dual nationals. Next, Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker's divorce has escalated from quietly filed last November to heated legal warfare. Kandi claims Todd has failed to contribute to mortgage or child-related expenses while traveling abroad, and she’s pushing for child support and a defined parenting schedule. Todd has countered—challenging the prenup and requesting primary custody and alimony; he’s also resisting Kandi’s efforts to seal court files. In a lighter shift, Dr. Ian Smith joined to discuss his new book, The Last 15. He emphasized metabolic resetssearch15, protein prioritization, carb cycling turn, workouts as keys to advisory emphasizes re-stimulating weight loss after the body. Finally, pastor and gospel singer Donnie McClurkin faces civil sexual-assault allegations filed by a former assistant spanning from 2003 to 2015. The lawsuit outlines purported grooming, unwanted sexual contact during “pray the gay away” sessions, and an alleged 2013 apology email in which McClurkin reportedly calls himself a “desperate dirty old man.” McClurkin has vigorously denied the claims, calling them “categorically false,” and has pledged full cooperation as the case moves forward.

What are the real reasons why women struggle to lose weight in midlife? I see this pattern constantly: women doing all the “right” things and still feeling stuck, frustrated, and blamed by their own bodies. In this episode, I break down why the old weight-loss rulebook stops working in midlife and what's actually driving fat loss after 40. Once you understand how muscle, protein, blood sugar, stress, hormones, and gut health interact, you can stop fighting your metabolism and finally start working with it. What you'll learn: (02:25) Why auditing protein intake, calories, and ultra-processed foods is the first step before blaming your metabolism. (04:35) How age-related muscle loss slows metabolism. (05:08) Why undereating protein drives hunger, overeating, and stalled fat loss. (06:03) How unstable blood sugar and high insulin block access to stored body fat. (08:16) Why walking or strength movements after meals help regulate blood sugar. (09:06) How chronic stress and poor sleep raise cortisol and promote fat storage. (10:24) What happens to metabolism, sleep, and fat distribution during perimenopause. (12:58) Why tracking biofeedback data replaces willpower as the key to sustainable fat loss. Love the podcast?

In this insightful episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini sits down with Holly Toscanini, a former weight loss expert turned intuitive living coach, to dismantle the "someday" myth. Holly shares her powerful pivot from running medical weight loss programs to realizing that chasing a number on the scale was actually shrinking her life, not expanding it. Together, they pull back the curtain on the toxic business model of the diet industry, discuss why waiting to be "thin enough" is actually a form of self-abandonment, and how women can reclaim their confidence through self-trust and intuitive eating—especially while navigating the changes of midlife and menopause.SHOW NOTES: Click hereFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behind_the_bite Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

You can follow every rule, every plan, every diet…and still struggle with weightloss if the voice in your head is TOTAL BITCH. In this episode, I explain why negative self-talk hits your body like stress, why it makes you overeat, and why you keep quitting the second you make a mistake. You'll learn how to notice that voice, what it's really trying to do, and how to talk to yourself in a way that helps you lose weight instead of quitting. If you've ever felt hopeless or defeated after one mistake…if you've every thought "why bother" or "see, I can't lose weight," then this episode will help.
