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.

#861 The #1 Mistake Women Make With HRT and How You Can Get Your Metabolism Back with Kristin Johnson & Maria Claps Sep 09, 2024

Show notes

Today, I am blessed to have Kristin Johnson & Maria Claps here with me. Their personal and clinical experiences have taught them that midlife is a pivotal time in a woman’s life, often accompanied by unique challenges. They recognized a gap in specialized care for women over 40 and have made it their mission to fill it. While there's an abundance of health advice for women in their teens, 20s, and 30s, the messaging becomes unclear as women enter their 40s. Kristin and Maria believe that generalized health information isn’t sufficient—and in some cases, can even be harmful—for midlife women. Their goal is to empower women over 40 to take control of their health, ensuring that the next chapter of their lives is their best yet.

Kristin and Maria emphasize that menopause is far more than just the loss of fertility and menstruation. They argue that menopause signifies a deeper metabolic change in the body that affects over 4,000 physiological processes, not just the commonly known symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings. Even women without symptoms are impacted by hormonal shifts and need to address them proactively. Their work offers a comprehensive deep dive into hormone replacement therapy (HRT), debunking myths and urging women to take control of their health during this life stage. They advocate for personalized, multi-faceted health approaches rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, emphasizing the importance of understanding hormonal changes.

Kristin and Maria emphasize that many women are harming their bodies through excessive cardio, under-eating, and stress, perpetuating a cycle of catabolic damage. They highlight the importance of nourishment, stress management, sleep, and strength training for maintaining health, particularly as hormone levels decline with age. While optimizing hormones can help, it’s not a standalone solution; addressing the underlying stress is crucial for hormonal balance. They also discuss the need for a tailored approach to hormone therapy to not only alleviate symptoms but also reduce chronic disease risks, challenging the limited, symptom-focused perspective of mainstream menopause treatment.

Tune in as Maria and Kristin emphasize that progesterone plays a significant role in women’s health; its effectiveness is tied to the presence of progesterone receptors, which fluctuate throughout the ovarian cycle and are mainly influenced by estradiol levels. They caution against relying solely on progesterone hormone replacement therapy, especially in perimenopausal women, where estrogen decline reduces the number of receptors, leading to symptoms like anxiety and mood dysregulation. They advocate for a more holistic approach, managing stress, balancing hormones, and incorporating oxytocin to ensure well-being and metabolic freedom.

#857 How To Burn Belly Fat & Lose Flabby Skin Extremely Fast! - Do These 5 Things ASAP with JJ Virgin Sep 02, 2024

Show notes

Today, I am blessed to have JJ Virgin here with me. As a triple-board certified nutrition expert and Fitness Hall of Famer, JJ is a passionate advocate of nutrition’s healing power and is mission-driven to ignite a movement of women choosing to age powerfully. After decades of watching women strive to shrink themselves, JJ is urging women to step into their power—physically and personally. Using her principles of powerful aging, she inspires women to get strong, bold, and get what they want in life.

In this episode, JJ emphasizes that many people focus on minor details, like specific diets or exercises, instead of prioritizing the big rocks—the major actions that make the biggest impact. First and foremost, she advises prioritizing protein at meals, especially eating it first. Protein is metabolically expensive to digest, helps manage hunger, reduces cravings, and is crucial for building muscle.

A comprehensive approach combining resistance training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and consistent movement is essential to optimize body fat loss and overall fitness. Full-body workouts outperform split routines for body composition, while HIIT is particularly effective at reducing visceral fat. A foundational practice is tracking daily steps, aiming for at least 8,000 steps, gradually progressing to higher intensity by adding resistance, like a rucking vest.

#856 The 30 Day Protocol To Lose 20 Pounds of Fat (#1 Method) with Ben Azadi Aug 31, 2024

Show notes

I’m going to share with you a 30 day protocol to lose up to 20 pounds of stubborn fat within 30 days…

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!

After I personally went from being obese at 250 pounds with 34 percent body fat to 170 pounds and 6 percent body fat, I cracked the fat loss code.

The cool thing about having the combination to a code is that it unlocks no matter what!!

I tested this out with over 5,000 of my students with great success.

#855 The #1 Deficiency Rapidly Aging You! - FIX THIS To Reverse Aging & Live Longer with Dr.John Lieurance Aug 30, 2024

Show notes

Today, I’m fortunate to have Dr. John Lieurance, a great friend of the show, joining us again; he’s been a frequent guest, sharing his expertise over the years. John Lieurance, ND, DC, RMA, BS, DABCN (Board Eligible), is a chiropractic neurologist and naturopath who has been in private practice for 25 years. He works at Advanced Rejuvenation, a multidisciplinary clinic focused on alternative and regenerative medicine, naturopathic medicine, chiropractic functional neurology, Functional Cranial Release (FCR), Lumomed, Lyme disease, mold illness, and various other neurological conditions. He also travels internationally, teaching other doctors.

In this episode, Dr. Lieurance emphasizes the benefits of melatonin, particularly its influential role in stress resilience and anti-aging. Beyond its well-known effects on sleep, melatonin is produced in every body cell, acting as a protective mechanism against oxidative stress. As we age, melatonin levels drastically decline, which impairs our ability to repair at a cellular level. Dr. Lieurance highlights that supplementing with melatonin can extend our capacity to handle stress, promote deep relaxation, and support healthy aging.

Also, we explore the fascinating properties of methylene blue, a vivid blue salt with a unique affinity for the mitochondria. This compound enhances the body's ability to absorb and utilize red and near-infrared light, which is crucial for cellular energy production. Methylene blue supports the mitochondria, improving their function by approximately 30% and acting as a neuroprotective agent. Dr. Lieurance emphasizes how the body can harness energy from photons, not just food, by absorbing light into the mitochondria.

Tune in until the end of this show with Dr. Lieurance as he dives into how supporting your circadian rhythm, especially through sun exposure, can profoundly impact melatonin production. He shares insights on the power of sungazing, nitric oxide's critical role, and even melatonin's surprising benefits in detoxifying the brain. Plus, Dr. Lieurance speaks about his journey in developing advanced cranial treatments and stem cell therapies that span decades, incorporating innovative techniques from around the world, including regenerative medicine with adipose-derived stem cells that offer groundbreaking potential for conditions like tinnitus, hearing loss, and orthopedic injuries.

#853 "These Superfoods Are Poison!" - Healthy Foods You May Never Eat Again After This with Sally Norton Aug 26, 2024

Show notes

Today, I am blessed to have Sally K. Norton here with me. Her book, “Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick-and How to Get Better” is available everywhere books are sold. Her latest book, the Data Companion to Toxic Superfoods, was just released in May 2024 and is available at https://sallyknorton.com/toxic_superfoods/data_companion. For more information, visit SallyKNorton.com or follow Sally on YouTube and social media. She’s @sknorton and @toxicsuperfoods_oxalate_book (on Instagram), @BeFreeToThrive (on Facebook), and @BetterLowOx (on X).

In this episode, Sally emphasizes that several foods commonly considered healthy, such as nuts, dark leafy greens, sweet potatoes, quinoa, and even bran, may actually be harmful due to their high oxalate content. Oxalates, particularly oxalic acid found in plants, can disrupt cellular function by causing oxidative stress, inflammation, and damage to tissues. The accumulation of calcium oxalate can interfere with metabolism, vascular health, and electrolyte balance, leading to various health issues like digestive problems, joint pain, urinary tract infections, and kidney stones. Sally also explains that our modern, non-seasonal diet exacerbates this issue, as we consume these foods year-round without giving our bodies time to recover.

Sally says that tea significantly contributes to oxalate intake due to its fully soluble oxalic acid content, making it both quickly absorbed and harmful. However, Sally mentions that in moderation, tea can be used medicinally to help the body manage oxalate release from tissues. She advises that dietary changes should be gradual, allowing the body time to adjust to avoid overwhelming it. She emphasizes that dealing with oxalate accumulation is a long-term process influenced by individual nutrition and lifestyle factors.

Sally advises that low oxalate carbs, such as white rice, are generally well-tolerated, especially for those with gut inflammation. She notes that white rice has resistant starch, which may be problematic for those with severe digestive issues. Cutting out fiber can also reduce pain and inflammation, making a carnivore diet appealing to some. Sally also highlights that juicing fruits, especially those high in oxalates like raspberries and pomegranates, can significantly reduce their oxalate content. She recommends eating nutrient-dense animal foods, taking breaks from constant grazing, and returning to traditional meal times for metabolic freedom.

#852 9 Warning Signs You're Not Eating Enough Protein! - Fix This ASAP with Ben Azadi Aug 24, 2024

Show notes

Protein is arguably the MOST important macronutrient for fat loss and longevity.

Approximately 40% of American adults are not meeting their protein needs.

There are early warning signs that begin to appear when you’re not eating enough protein, in this video I’ll be sharing all 9 of them.

I will also address the most common questions about getting enough protein, and of course the solution to making sure you get enough of this important macronutrient.

The first warning sign is cravings for junk food.

Theprotein leverage hypothesis states that human beings will prioritize the consumption of protein in food over other dietary components, and will eat until protein needs have been met, regardless of energy content,[1] thus leading to over-consumption of foodstuffs when their protein content is low. This hypothesis has been put forward as a potential explanation of the obesity epidemic. Empirical tests have provided some evidence to confirm the hypothesis with one study suggesting that this could be a link between ultra-processed foods and the prevalence of obesity in the developed world. In 1995, Australian researcher Susanna Holt developed the concept of satiety value, a measure of how much a given food is likely to satisfy the hunger of someone. High protein foods have been found to have high satiety values, more so than carbohydrates.

When you eat enough protein you activate hormones and chemicals that signal to your brain and body… you’re full! This prevents you from overeating junk food, and snacking in between meals. Helping you of course lose weight.

These hormones that get activated with protein are Cholecystokinin, leptin, peptide yy.

Here’s how this works. Analogy of eating steak and then the dessert tray rolls by.

There are more reasons why lack of protein leads to junk food binges…
