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.

Show notes

Today, I am blessed to dive into a fascinating discussion with Mario Brainovic, a leading researcher on water and its profound effects on health. We explore the critical role of hydration and the quality of water consumed, introducing the concept of "coherent water." Mario explains how coherent water, structured in a liquid crystalline state, enhances cellular energy, brain function, and overall well-being. We discuss studies showing increased ATP production and improved microbiome health from coherent water, emphasizing its potential to combat brain fog, fatigue, and other health issues.

Mario introduces a special wand that can create coherent water. This wand contains "mother water," which has undergone a unique process to maintain its coherent state. By swirling the wand in a glass of water for about 30 seconds, you can align the water molecules, making them more effective at hydrating the body.

This episode serves as a reminder of the critical role that water quality plays in our health. Through engaging discussions and compelling research, Ben and Mario highlight the importance of being mindful about hydration and the types of water we consume. By understanding the science behind coherent water and its effects on our bodies, listeners are encouraged to take proactive steps toward improving their hydration practices for better health outcomes.

#889 Constant Fatigue? - Here's Why You're Tired All The Time with Ben Azadi Oct 24, 2024

Show notes

Approximately 43% of Americans report experiencing fatigue regularly. That’s almost half of the population!

Constant fatigue is debilitating. It negatively impacts your relationships, work and overall well being.

If you struggle with constant fatigue, I am going to explain the cause, and most importantly the easy steps for you to have natural energy throughout the entire day.

Let’s first start with the cause of fatigue.

The only reason why you are tired is because of mitochondrial dysfunction.

The mitochondria are way more than mindless energy factories, they have an intelligence to them.

The word “mitochondria” derives from the Greek terms “mitos” and “khondrion.” They mean “thread” and “little granule” and together refer to the shape of the organelle as grain-like.

Mitochondria’s biggest job for our bodies is via oxidative phosphorylation where a series of chemical reactions use a coenzyme called NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) to extract energy from food. Once loaded up with energy, NAD reacts with proteins in the inner membrane to drive the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and ATP is the rockstar energy that powers our bodies.

The top 5 ways to improve mitochondrial health to have MORE energy!

Tip 1: Movement

Tip 2: Ketosis

Tip 3: Fasting

Tip 4: Two specific antioxidants and copper, magnesium, vitamin a rich foods

Tip 5: How you feel drives changes in your mitochondria

#886 You Might Think Twice Before Eating Oatmeal with Ben Azadi Oct 18, 2024

#884 5 Bizarre Symptoms Of Vitamin D Deficiency You Need To Know! with Ben Azadi Oct 16, 2024

Show notes

This is crazy! After working with thousands of people over the past 17 years, and running lab tests on them, I’ve discovered that 75% of them had low Vitamin D levels.

What’s really fascinating is that most of them presented these bizarre symptoms which were all linked to Vitamin D deficiency.

This is something you need to know. I’m about to reveal these 5 bizarre symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency, plus the best ways to naturally raise Vitamin D, the one hormone that blocks vitamin d when elevated, the optimal ranges for Vitamin d, my thoughts of vitamin D supplements and much more.

Vitamin D is not only a Vitamin, but also a steroid hormone. When it’s low, your body will communicate with you through symptoms.

Symptoms are not bad, and we should not mask them. Symptoms are your body’s checking engine light. We should be grateful for them. The body is always communicating with us, let’s pay attention.

Let’s start with the first bizarre symptom…

#1 Chronic fatigue and exhaustion

#2 Depression and mood changes

#3 Hair loss

#4 Brain fog

#5 Getting sick all the time

#882 The 5 Golden Rules I Used To Lose 50 Pounds In 3 Months! with Ben Azadi Oct 11, 2024

Show notes

If you are looking to lose serious weight, as much as 50 pounds in 3 months, I have 5 golden rules of fat loss to share with you today.

Some of these may be controversial, but as a former obese man who went from 250 pounds to 170 pounds, and 34% body fat to as low as 6% body fat, they work.

I’ve applied this to thousands of students and it works for all walks of life.

Let’s start with the first golden rule.

1. Calories in vs. Calories out is a myth

2. Snacking all day does not revv up your metabolism, it destroys it! Snacking is aging you faster

3. Fat adaptation is key

4. Test your insulin levels. Avoid frequent insulin spikes

5. Ancient healing strategies over modern quick fixes
