In this episode, Ben Azadi explores the crucial role of metabolism in transforming food into energy, essential for burning fat and overall well-being. He discusses the harmful effects of vegetable oils, which are more detrimental than sugar and smoking, and share a special drink recipe to help eliminate these bad fats. Dr. Cate Shanahan joins to explain how vegetable oils cause inflammation and chronic disease. Additionally, Ben details the unhealthy industrial process of making canola oil. He encourages listeners to make informed dietary choices for better metabolic health.
PLEASE NOTE: The best option is to avoid these damaged fats as much as possible! Eating an animal based diet focused on saturated fat and monounsaturated fat combined with fasting and exercise is the BEST way to remove these bad fats from your body.
The Special Drink for Fat Elimination
To combat the negative effects of harmful fats, Ben introduces a special drink designed to help eliminate them from the body. He outlines the ingredients and their specific benefits:
Ingredients and Benefits:
Psyllium Husk: A soluble fiber that forms a gel-like substance in the digestive tract, helping to bind to bile acids and dietary fats, promoting their excretion.
Flax Seeds: Act as a mild laxative due to their fiber content, aiding in smoother bowel movements. Ground flax seeds release mucilage, which lubricates the intestines and facilitates fat excretion.
Calcium and Magnesium: These minerals play a crucial role in binding to fatty acids and bile salts in the intestines, forming insoluble compounds that the body cannot absorb. This process helps lower bad cholesterol levels and supports weight management.
Recipe:
Mix psyllium husk, flax seeds, and a calcium-magnesium powder in water.
Consume this drink first thing in the morning to maximize its benefits.

Does cardio actually help with fat loss?
Yes! If you don’t make these 5 mistakes that sabotage fat loss.
If done right, you can use cardio to melt belly fat.
Let’s start with the first mistake…
#1 Overdoing Steady-State Cardio
Why it's a mistake: Spending too much time doing long, slow cardio (like jogging) can lead to a plateau, increased cortisol levels, and even muscle loss. While steady-state cardio can improve endurance, it’s not the most efficient way to burn fat or build cardiovascular health.
Fix: Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or alternate between steady-state and resistance-based cardio.
#2 Ignoring Strength Training
Why it's a mistake: Many people rely solely on cardio for fat loss, neglecting the benefits of muscle-building exercises. Without strength training, you miss out on the metabolic boost and long-term calorie burn that comes from increasing muscle mass.
Fix: Combine cardio with resistance training to maximize fat loss and metabolic health.
#3 Doing Too Much, Not Recovering Enough
Why it's a mistake: Jumping into intense cardio routines without building a foundation can lead to burnout, overtraining, or injuries.
Fix: Gradually increase the intensity and duration of your cardio sessions to allow your body to adapt and recover.
Track sleep, HRV and resting heart rate
Discuss hormesis
#4 Neglecting Nutrition
Why it's a mistake: People often overestimate how many calories they burn during cardio and underestimate how important recovery is. Overeating after a cardio session can offset fat-loss efforts, while inadequate recovery can lead to fatigue and reduced performance.
Fix: Focus on balanced nutrition (high-quality protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs) and prioritize rest, hydration, and sleep.
#5 Doing the Same Routine Repeatedly
Why it's a mistake: Repeating the same cardio workout leads to diminished returns as your body adapts to the routine. This makes it less effective over time.
Fix: Vary your cardio by mixing different types of exercises (cycling, rowing, running) and intensities to challenge your body and keep it progressing.

Today, I am blessed to host a conversation with Dr. John Kim, a functional medicine pharmacist. Dr. Kim shares his personal story of suffering a heart attack at 33 despite normal cholesterol levels, revealing the deeper causes like mold toxicity and environmental toxins. We discuss the significant impact of mold on health, chronic inflammation, and stress. Dr. Kim provides practical advice on addressing mold exposure, improving metabolic health through diet, and managing stress with heart rate variability and breathwork. This episode empowers listeners to take proactive steps towards better health and well-being.
Ben Azadi kicks off the episode by emphasizing the significance of metabolism and how it transforms food into energy, which is essential for overall well-being. He highlights the podcast's mission to provide listeners with insights from thought leaders in the field, aiming to empower them to enhance their metabolic health. The discussion covers various subjects, including biohacking, fasting strategies, and the importance of a self-healing body.
Dr. Kim shares his compelling story of suffering a heart attack at just 33 years old, despite having normal cholesterol levels. He recounts the confusion and disbelief he faced in the cardiac ICU, where doctors initially dismissed his heart attack due to his seemingly healthy lipid profile. Through extensive testing, he discovered that the root causes of his heart issues were not related to cholesterol but rather to chronic inflammation, mold toxicity, and a tick-borne illness called Bartonella.
He reflects on his upbringing in a moldy environment, where his family dealt with persistent leaks in their basement. This exposure, combined with his high-stress lifestyle and lack of sleep, contributed to his health crisis. Dr. Kim emphasizes the importance of recognizing the signs of inflammation and the body's signals, which he ignored until it was too late.
Actionable Steps:
Incorporate Healthy Fats: Include sources of healthy fats, such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish, in your diet to support cell membrane health.
Focus on Nutrient-Dense Foods: Prioritize whole, unprocessed foods rich in vitamins and minerals to nourish your body and support detoxification.
Support Gut Health: Consider supplements like sodium butyrate and probiotics to maintain a healthy gut microbiome and enhance detoxification.

In this episode, Ben Azadi, author of Ketoflex and host of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, outlines a seven-step diet plan to reduce visceral fat in 14 days.
The first step is to lower insulin levels by swapping carbohydrates for protein and fat. Ben emphasizes that carbohydrates cause the highest blood insulin response compared to protein and fat. He suggests replacing common high-carbohydrate foods, such as oatmeal, cereal, bread, fruit, and potatoes, with cauliflower rice, eggs, red meat, and vegetables.
The second step is to stop snacking between meals to avoid disrupting metabolism and preventing the body from burning visceral fat.
The third step is to incorporate sprints into a workout routine three times a week, as high-intensity interval training activates hormones that promote fat burning.
The fourth step is to eliminate or limit alcohol consumption, as alcohol prioritizes detoxification over fat burning and increases appetite.
The fifth step is to walk at least 7,000 steps a day, particularly after meals, to blunt blood sugar spikes and reduce insulin production.
The sixth step is to practice intermittent fasting on an 18/6 schedule to lower insulin levels, increase human growth hormone, and promote cellular cleaning through autophagy.
The final step is to get 90 minutes of deep sleep each night to activate fat-burning hormones and accelerate fat loss. Ben also recommends measuring visceral fat through a DEXA scan or, more accurately, an MRI.

Not all supplements are created equal—in fact, many of the ones on the market result in expensive urine. The key is to use high-quality supplements derived from whole foods versus synthetic supplements made in a lab. When you take synthetic vitamins, the human body recognizes this substance as a drug. When you take real food supplements, the human body recognizes this as nutrition. What results is something called “selective absorption,” where the body fills in any nutritional gaps and excretes the rest. Real food supplements are derived from concentrated, dehydrated forms of fruits, vegetables, and other natural sources, providing a complex blend of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients as they occur in nature.
You can easily spend your extra cash on supplements but the best question we can ask is…. What supplements actually work?

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 code that unlocks fat loss is lowering insulin.
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.
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).
This hormone is called insulin. Insulin is an energy sensor (amongst other things), and when you activate the insulin troops, your fat burning hormones are GONE. Insulin is the bully of the block.
You might be wondering, “How do you lower insulin?”
Great question!
Intermittent fasting!

Fatty liver disease, encompassing both non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic liver disease (ALD), is a prevalent condition in the United States. NAFLD affects approximately 24% of U.S. adults, translating to about 80 million individuals.

VO2 max is a critical measure of your body’s ability to utilize oxygen during intense exercise. It’s a strong predictor of cardiorespiratory fitness and overall health. Research shows that a low VO2 max is a significant risk factor for avoidable deaths, surpassing even smoking, diabetes, and obesity combined.
Why VO2 Max Matters
Longevity: Higher VO2 max levels are associated with longer life expectancy.
Health Span: Improved VO2 max enhances your quality of life by boosting energy levels and overall fitness.
Disease Prevention: Maintaining a high VO2 max can reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
What is REHIT?
Reduced Exertion High-Intensity Interval Training (REHIT) is designed to deliver effective workouts in a very short time frame. Unlike traditional high-intensity interval training (HIIT), REHIT focuses on maximizing benefits with minimal exertion.
How REHIT Works
Short, Intense Bursts: REHIT involves performing two all-out 22-second sprints.
Energy Demand Spike: These sprints create a significant spike in energy demand, simulating a fight-or-flight response.
Adaptation: This triggers the body to adapt and improve its fitness levels.
What is the CAROL Bike?
The CAROL bike is a specialized tool for performing REHIT workouts. It’s designed to optimize your workout by adjusting resistance automatically, ensuring you get the most out of each session.
Benefits of the CAROL Bike
Time-Efficient: Complete a full workout in under eight minutes.
VO2 Max Improvement: Studies show up to a 12% improvement in VO2 max within eight weeks.
Low-Impact: Safe for individuals with joint concerns.

Intermittent fasting is one of the best ways to lower inflammation and lose serious weight.
It turns out, you can significantly enhance the benefits of fasting with these 4 intermittent fasting drinks.
Apple Cider Vinegar:
Apple cider vinegar seems to be all the rage these days. The problem is, MOST people use it the wrong way.
In this video, I’m going to share with you the best time to drink apple cider vinegar to repair your metabolism, balance your hormones and BURN FAT!
Coffee with grass fed ghee:
Coffee’s most powerful polyphenol, chlorogenic acid, or CGA, tells your body’s fat cells to burn their fatty acids for fuel. This is the same mechanism that statin drugs use to lower your cholesterol, without potential side effects. CGA cuts cravings, suppresses appetite and activates the liver to produce more bile, aiding in detoxing your cells. It helps the liver to process fats and glucose more efficiently by lowering triglyceride levels and stabilizing blood sugars.
Green Tea with MCT oil:
Drink green tea with caprylic acid
Hydrogen Water:
Oxidative stress in the gut can disrupt cellular function and damage the gut lining, contributing to a condition known as “leaky gut.” Hydrogen, with its selective antioxidant properties, can help mitigate this oxidative stress, supporting the integrity of the gut barrier.
Since fasting can stimulate autophagy and cellular repair in the gut, adding hydrogen water may enhance this process by reducing oxidative stress and supporting the regeneration of healthy cells in the intestinal lining.

Stunning as it may sound, nearly half of Americans ages 20 years and up – or more than 122 million people – have high blood pressure, according to a 2023 report from the American Heart Association.
In this lesson I will share the worst blood pressure advice given to you from your doctor, the real cause of high blood pressure, and easy steps to naturally lower high blood pressure.
Most doctors will tell you high blood pressure is a result of a diet high in salt. The belief that salt consumption raises blood pressure is based on bogus science. It originates from French scientists more than 100 years ago, who 'based their findings on just six patients'.
Salt, emphasizing its role in maintaining proper hydration, supporting adrenal function, and enhancing nutrient absorption. Salt helps the body balance fluids, regulate nerve and muscle function, and maintain acid-base balance. For people who are active or on low-carb or ketogenic diets, salt intake is even more essential, as they can lose more sodium through sweat and reduced insulin levels. DiNicolantonio explains that salt can also improve blood flow, support cardiovascular health, and reduce cravings for sugar by balancing electrolyte levels.
What is the real cause of high blood pressure?
High levels and blood glucose and insulin!
Eating too many carbohydrates inhibits the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is responsible for vasodilation. When the blood vessels constrict because of the lack of NO, the heart has to work harder. This is what increases blood pressure!
How do you measure your blood sugar and insulin levels?
Fasting insulin
Fasting blood sugars
Post prandial glucose
CGM
KETO MOJO
5 ways to naturally lower high blood pressure.
Your first step is to replace insulin producing foods with foods that lower insulin. This will lower blood sugar levels and blood pressure levels.
The second step: Eat the 5 best foods proven by science to lower blood pressure,
The third step: eliminate snacking in between meals and practice time restricted feeding.
The fourth step: Consider supplementation
The fifth step: breath through your nostrils and hum/sing
