For 24 years, Ben Azadi was told “everything's fine” by doctors while battling fatigue, depression, and weight gain. In this raw and eye-opening episode, he exposes how the healthcare system is designed for profit, not healing—and how he took his power back. Ben shares the truth about medical gaslighting, the lack of nutrition training in medicine, and why 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy. He reveals the exact steps that helped him lose 80 pounds, reverse his symptoms, and create the Fat Loss Academy—a proven system for sustainable fat loss and metabolic freedom. You'll learn how to read your labs the right way, what foods to eliminate to reduce inflammation, and how fasting, real food, gratitude, and mindset can heal your body naturally.

You're eating cleaner than ever…No sugar. No junk.You're cooking 90% of your meals from scratch — because you care about your health.And yet…The scale won't budge.Your jeans still feel tight.The bloating, the exhaustion, the cravings? Still there.And now you're left wondering:“What more can I do?”“Why isn't this working?”Here's the truth no one is telling you:

kim's story is a full-body exhale for anyone who still thinks carbs = chaos. from fearing fruit to fueling with sourdough and building actual muscle definition, she learned the hard way what most women never get taught: carbs aren't earned, they're essential. years of diet culture made her world smaller—and how lifting, smart fueling, and brick-by-brick consistency rebuilt her body and her mindset.take one minute and voice note how you talk about your body—then listen back. what version of you is driving?this episode dives into the psychological load of dieting—the guilt, the fear of more food, the way restriction becomes your identity. kim opens up about the mindset spiral that came with under-eating and the physical transformation that followed when she finally gave herself permission to fuel, train, and enjoy the process.what if the fat‑loss plateau, the cranky afternoon slump, and that nagging scale‑stall all share one root cause—chronic under‑fueling? in this episode i sit down with kim, a former carb‑phobe (who has type‑1 diabetes) turned diet fatigue into a deadlift party. we rip apart the rules that kept her living on chicken, broccoli, and boredom, and show you how timing carbs around strength sessions can flatten insulin spikes, spike confidence, and finally shrink measurements you care about—jeans, not kilos.we unpack why the scale sabotages motivation, how progress photos can freeze you in perfectionism, and why “stage‑lean” bodies are a metabolic bait‑and‑switch. expect real talk, eye‑roll moments at diet culture, and practical swaps you can steal today: think pre‑lift toast + honey, post‑lift rice + chicken, plus a mindset reframe that turns missed workouts into single bricks—not house fires.if you've ever counted grapes, feared fruit, or apologised for bread, this convo is your permission slip. kim and i dissect the myths that made her world smaller—“carbs store fat,” “keto cures everything,” “cardio is queen”—and rebuild a plan that lets her travel greece guilt‑free, lift heavier every quarter, and drop insulin units while eating sourdough. we cover the brick‑by‑brick method to sustainable recomposition, stress as the silent macro killing progress, and why pumping iron trumps pounding treadmills for anyone over thirty‑five who's tired of feeling soft.win # 1: set a five‑minute timer and list yesterday's meals—notice how low the carbs actually were.win #2: grab a pen and list every food you've felt guilty for eating—then draw a line through the carb-based ones.win #3: after listening, choose one lift you'll measure this week instead of your weight—tag me with the number.want to share your own carb‑comeback story—or need help writing yours? dm me or hit the consult link below. let's chat.find me @transformxruby on instagramapply for a free consult:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqaxMDfbPYPYVui3BgSClnDXTj4BWjRvPkbBHuK5CP7SQsIw/viewform?usp=sf_linkdirect link to dm me on ig: https://ig.me/m/transformxruby

If you've been struggling to lose stubborn fat, no matter how much you diet or exercise, then I've got the perfect solution for you… Today, I'm sharing 7 powerful ingredients that you should consume 1 tablespoon of every day to activate fat-burning at a cellular level. These ingredients all have one thing in common… They work with your mitochondria to create mitochondrial uncoupling, a process that boosts metabolism and helps you burn more fat—without extra effort. And yes, this is backed by science!

If you have extra fat around your belly that you just cannot seem to get rid of, I'll be sharing with you a 7 simple step protocol that will allow you to lose stubborn fat within 14 days. Each step is linked to the next step, so be sure to follow this protocol the way it is laid out.. No, you don't have to suffer. No, you don't have to even count calories. No, you don't have to rely on willpower.  In fact, this will be easy.  Let's start with the first step… Step #1: The 3 exchange diet…  A simple 3 dietary exchange…. Exchange 1: Remove The Following Insulin Spiking & High Plant Toxin Foods Wheat All grains Brown rice Millet White Rice Oats (Includes oatmeal) Barley Corn Soy Pasteurized Cow Dairy Spinach Kale Tomato Almonds & Almond flour Eggplants  Peanuts & Peanut butter Replace With Following Insulin Friend & Low Plant Toxin Foods Cauliflower rice Squash rice Cabbage rice Sheep & goat dairy Coconut milk (unsweetened) Macadamia nut milk (unsweetened) Walnuts Pecans Pili Nuts Macadamia nuts  Arugula Asparagus  Exchange 2, replace inflammatory fats with healthy fats Remove The Following Bad Fats… Canola Oil (Rapeseed oil in the UK) Corn Oil  Cottonseed Oil Safflower Oil Sunflower Oil Soybean Oil Rice Bran Oil Refined Peanut Oil Grapeseed Oil  Fish Oil  Replace With The Following Stable Fats (Saturated & Monounsaturated Fats)  The Best Fats For Cooking at High Temps Are The Following Animal Fats: Butter Ghee Beef Tallow Duck Fat Lard (non hydrogenated from pastured pigs) The Best Fats For Salad Dressings, Drips & Low Heat Cooking Are The Following Fruit Based Fats:  Coconut Oil Avocado Oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil The 3rd exchange is to replace sugar and artificial sweeteners with healthier choices. Remove the following Raw Sugar Processed Sugar Fruit Juice Evaporated Cane Juice Agave Nectar Sucralose (Splenda) Aspartame  Replace these with the following safe and healthy sugar alternatives… Stevia Monk Fruit Allulose Xylitol Erythritol  Raw Honey (limited) Step #2:  Practice this meal timing schedule to lower the fat storage hormone insulin.. You have hundreds of hormones inside your body. Hormones are chemical messengers. Some hormones activate fat burning, some hormones help with energy, some hormones help with longevity, but ONLY ONE HORMONE causes fat storage (and shuts off fat burning).

In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, we dive deep into the science of fasting and what happens inside your body during a 36-hour fast. From lowering insulin and tapping into fat-burning mode, to activating autophagy (cellular cleanup) and boosting brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), this fasting timeline unlocks powerful metabolic benefits. We explore: ✅ The first 14 hours: Lower insulin, burn glycogen, and experience energy diversion. ✅ 16-hour mark: Autophagy kicks in, clearing out damaged cells and enhancing fat burning. ✅ 24-hour mark: Digestive system reset with an intestinal stem cell reboot. ✅ 30-hour mark: BDNF production surges, improving brain function and mental clarity. ✅ 36-hour mark: Significant fat loss, increased ketone production, and a metabolic reset. Ben answers common fasting questions, including muscle loss concerns, what to drink, exercise during fasting, and the best way to break a 36-hour fast. Plus, hear about the longest fast ever recorded!

Alright, Magic Makers, it's time for some tough love wrapped in a big ol' permission slip to make your life EASIER! If chasing your goals feels like a never-ending battle and you're constantly playing tug-of-war with yourself, no wonder you're stuck in the same loop. The problem isn't YOU—it's the way you're setting yourself up. In this episode, we're getting real about: ✅ Why loose goals might be your missing link to success ✅ How tracking your wins (instead of your failures) is a total game-changer ✅ Why I will never hand you a meal plan and send you on your way ✅ The “Big Rocks” strategy—because not all habits are created equal ✅ How flexible goals create consistency (without the all-or-nothing stress) Struggling harder doesn't mean you're doing it right. Let's build self-trust, ditch the punishment, and start winning at this game for real.

In this episode, Eve Guzman, a nutrition educator and business coach, joins us to dive into the key factors behind stubborn weight loss and the importance of functional medicine testing and treatment. We discuss when it's time to consider functional medicine testing, why accuracy in nutrition and tracking is the biggest reason many women struggle to lose weight, and how to optimize your approach for real, lasting results. We also discuss the nuances with functional medicine testing and why it's not always recommended for all women.

There's really only one way to achieve sustainable weight loss. It's simple to understand but not that easy to apply.  It's not about calories. It's not about willpower. It's not about suffering or restricting yourself. It's about cellular inflammation.  It's simple. If you have too much cell inflammation, your fat burning hormones cannot do their job! In this lesson I'll share the biggest culprits that cause cell inflammation, so you can remove them, and burn fat! Excessive glucose and insulin spikes from carbohydrates, and eating frequently.  Bad fats. Toxins Poor sleep Poor thoughts RESOURCES MENTIONED:

In today's episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we discuss using fasting as a tool for better health and wellness, sharing their personal transformations and offering actionable advice. We question the effectiveness of Body Mass Index (BMI) in measuring health and advocate using the Body Roundness Index (BRI) and waist-to-height ratio as better indicators of visceral fat, which is linked to higher health risks. We emphasize tapping into long-term fat stores through fasting rather than calorie restriction, which often keeps insulin levels high and doesn't target stubborn fat effectively. We encourage listeners to consistently implement fasting strategies, use more accurate health metrics, and potentially join their programs for support in achieving health goals.

I'll be sharing with you how to lose the last 10 lbs of stubborn fat in 10 days with 7 easy steps. It's important to understand that survival is the number one priority for the human body. Weight loss is a threat to survival, since we are genetically hardwired to perceive times of famine, so the body will hold on to fat as much as possible.  The key is to create hormonal adaptations, which keeps the body adapting, kickstarting your fat loss efforts. Essentially, this is metabolic confusion we are pursuing.  Similar to muscle confusion from a great workout routine.  We are doing this with your metabolism.  The 7 steps are all outlined to achieve 3 primary goals. Mix things up to keep the metabolism guessing Lower insulin Lower cell inflammation  Let's start with the first step in your protocol… “Fasted” Cardio first thing in the morning. The second step is an 18/6 early time-restricted schedule.

[04:09] Metabolic Flexibility and Macronutrients Carbohydrates and fats are two of the four major fuels for the body and are often referred to as macronutrients. Many people struggle to process and burn carbs and fats efficiently, frequently favoring one fuel source over another. Metabolic inflexibility refers to the body's inability to process both carbs and fats effectively, whereas metabolic flexibility refers to the body's ability to burn both carbs and fats efficiently. The Met Flex Diet is a six-week program that teaches the body how to effectively burn both fuels by exposing it to carbs and fats and incorporating keto and carb-loading elements. According to scientific evidence, cyclical keto cycling (alternating between periods of ketosis and carbohydrate consumption) can help improve metabolic flexibility. [08:07] Intermittent Fasting: Achieving Metabolic Flexibility Intermittent fasting helps to shift the body into fat-burning mode. Fasting depletes the body of energy from food and glycogen, allowing it to use stored fat as an energy source. By depleting energy from food and glycogen, intermittent fasting attempts to use stored fat as an energy source. A simple approach for beginners or those new to fasting is to wait a few hours after waking up before eating the day's first meal. Sleeping is a form of fasting because no food is consumed during that time. Extending the fasting period after waking up allows for more fat-burning time. [15:04] How do Fasted Cardio Workouts Enhance Fat Burning Fasted cardio involves working out on an empty stomach, usually without eating before the workout and for about an hour afterwards. Fasted cardio may not be appropriate for everyone, so pay attention to your body's signals and adjust accordingly. With depleted stored glucose (glycogen) and no food energy available during a fast, the body relies on fats for energy during the workout. The energy demand during exercise is significantly increased, prompting the body to draw even more energy from fat stores to meet the increased energy requirements. [18:51] Balancing Sleep and Workouts for Fat Loss Sleep is necessary for metabolic flexibility, hormonal rhythms, and body restoration. For optimal health and weight management, it is critical to maintain good sleep hygiene and prioritize adequate sleep. Morning workouts are appealing because they provide the benefits of endorphin release and fewer distractions. However, if morning workouts interfere with your sleep, consider switching to an afternoon workout or finding alternative times that work best for your schedule. Eating a high-calorie meal before bedtime causes excess calories stored as fat. Avoiding late-night eating allows the body to draw energy from fat stores while sleeping. The body is more likely to use fat as an energy source overnight if there is a gap between eating and sleeping. [23:09] Metabolic Boosters: Protein and B12 Consumption Increased protein consumption can boost metabolism due to the increased work required by the body to digest protein. Although lean protein is preferred, plant-based proteins such as beans and legumes are also beneficial. Protein from natural food sources is more bioavailable than protein supplements, ensuring that the body can use a higher percentage of the protein. The difficulty of breaking down protein signals the body to increase metabolic activity. Adequate B12 levels promote optimal metabolism and health. Prioritizing natural, protein-rich foods and getting enough B12 can improve metabolic function and help you lose weight. [33:17] Focusing on Food-Based Nutrition The desire to obtain nutrients through food stems from the belief that natural nutrients are more bioavailable and safer for the body than synthetic products. Natural nutrients in their natural state contain additional beneficial compounds and a more complete nutrient package than whole foods. While some supplementation may be required, caution should be exercised due to the market's proclivity for over-supplementation. Before beginning any supplementation regimen, individuals should thoroughly read and comprehend product labels. AND MUCH MORE!
