The Ben Azadi Show — Alternative Health
The Ben Azadi Show

Your body isn’t broken. It’s blocked.Twenty years ago Ben Azadi was obese, exhausted, and convinced something was permanently wrong with him. Nothing was. His cells weren’t getting the signal. Once they did, everything changed — and it’s stayed changed for two decades.

Ben is a 2x New York Times bestselling author (Metabolic Freedom, Keto Flex), international keynote speaker, and a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. But here’s what he’s learned after two decades and thousands of transformations: knowing what to do isn’t what changes your life. Becoming the person who actually does it — that’s what changes your life.

That’s what this show is built for. Three episodes a week, each with a job:

Metabolic Monday — Conversations with world-renowned doctors, researchers, and health experts on the latest breakthroughs in metabolic health and longevity. Fasting, insulin resistance, stubborn belly fat, hormones, mitochondria, blood sugar, gut health, ketosis, carnivore, and biohacking — translated into something you can actually run this week.

Transformation Tuesday — The mindset, habits, and daily practices behind following through. Paradigms, self-image, identity, and the inner work that makes results permanent instead of temporary.

Freedom Friday — Real conversations about freedom in every area of life. Not just metabolic freedom, but freedom with your time, your purpose, your energy, and the way you show up in the world.

If you’re over 40 and doing everything right while the scale won’t move — start here.

Ben’s mission is to educate one billion people. You’re one of them.

New episodes every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.
