Metabolic Freedom: Addressing Cellular Health, Mitochondria & Mindset to Reverse Insulin Resistance, Burn Fat & Live a Long, Healthy Life with Ben Azadi
Manage episode 483717033 series 2901074
In this empowering episode, we sit down with Ben Azadi to dive into the key concepts behind his new book, Metabolic Freedom. Ben breaks down what it truly means to be metabolically flexible—the ability to efficiently switch between burning fat and glucose for fuel—and how this flexibility is a cornerstone of optimal health. We explore practical tools to assess your metabolic health, including the pros and cons of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) versus traditional blood tests. Ben also shares actionable steps to enhance your metabolism, from dietary strategies and fasting protocols to detoxifying your environment from hidden toxins that silently disrupt metabolic function. We close the conversation with how your thoughts and beliefs directly impact your biology, and why cultivating a positive, empowered mindset is essential for achieving true metabolic freedom. Whether you're just starting your metabolic health journey or looking to fine-tune your biohacking routine, this episode offers a wealth of insights and inspiration.
Ben Azadi, the founder of Keto Kamp, has over 17 years of experience in the health industry, and he's the author of four best-selling books, including his latest Keto Flex. Ben is the author of the upcoming book Metabolic Freedom, published with Hay House. Ben has been the go-to source for intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet since 2013.
He is known as 'The Health Detective' because he investigates dysfunction, and he educates, not medicates, to bring the body back to normal function. Ben is the founder of Keto Kamp; a global brand bringing awareness to ancient healing strategies such as the keto diet and fasting.
