Tero Isokauppila | Healing Adaptogens: Using Super Herbs and Mushrooms for Your Body's Restoration, Defense, and Performance KKP: 463

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Tero Isokauppila. Tero is the founder of Four Sigmatic, a nature-centric Finnish-American company specializing in functional mushrooms, superfoods, and adaptogens. Born in Finland to an agronomist father and nursing teacher mother, Tero was the 13th generation to grow up on the Isokauppila farm. There, he foraged for mushrooms and other wild foods while learning about nature at an early age. In this, he frequently channeled his middle name Tapio, the Finnish god of forests, animals, and mystics. Following his early education on the farm, Tero later completed a Degree in Chemistry and a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University. In 2006, he won a Finnish innovation award for discovering that the sought-after Japanese culinary matsutake mushrooms also grow in Finland. In 2012, he left a corporate position to start Four Sigmatic. Tero is a reputable source on superfoods, an expert on natural health, and has been a featured speaker, for example, at Summit Series, Wanderlust, Further Future, Culinary Nutrition Conference, and WME-IMG. In this episode, Tero Isokauppila speaks about how adaptogenic mushrooms improve human performance. Depending on your health goals, Tero breaks down how long you may need to try adaptogenic mushrooms to reap the health benefits. Whether you like it or not, we are all consuming fungi in some form or another. Tero reveals the best way to introduce plants into your diet, especially if you have gut issues. Tune in as we chat about the benefits of mushrooms on our sleep, mood, and stress levels.

[05:00] Adaptogenic Mushrooms and Improving Human Performance Soviet researchers were trying to find ways to improve human performance the next day without any letdown. After many studies, they found compounds that improve performance and recovery without the letdown in natural fungi, plants, berries, and roots. To be an adaptogen, they need to be safe and non-toxic. Also, adaptogens have to restore balance in the body. [11:40] How Long Will It Take To Reap Benefits From Adaptogenic Mushrooms? How long do you need to use something to reap benefits? Usually, people will say thirty days or something along those lines. In reality, it depends on the desired benefits in your body. If you have gut and autoimmune issues, you may be on a journey for a few years. You cannot heal gut issues within a month. Skin will heal itself in about thirty days. Energy production is instantaneous - if you want to increase energy, that can be done quickly. [15:50] What To Know About The Effects of Theobromine and Magnesium Theobromine is one of the main compounds in real chocolate or cacao. Theobromine is a sister compound to caffeine. Magnesium is one of the minerals that are critical for our body function. Many people think of supplements and diet as upper and downers; however, many things can be both simultaneously. For instance, green tea can have caffeine and a calming effect. Theobromine and magnesium are great for balanced energy and balanced performance. [18:35] Whether You Like It Or Not, You Are Consuming Fungi In Some Form There is no world where you’re not consuming fungi. Fungi is on your skin and your gut. Plus, you are breathing in fungi. Whether you want it or not, you will have fungi in your gut. When you want to reap the health benefits of fungi, you first need to fix your gut. Carnivore is a great launch point. Your gut is severely disrupted if you have indigestion and acid reflux. However, you shouldn’t run away from plants and compounds. [26:05] How To Do An Elimination and Reintroduction Diet With Plants Eliminating and reintroducing one plant at a time will help determine how your body responds to the plant. Once you get better at recognizing your body, you also start to spot symptoms when they're subtle. Intuitive eating is a great way to see how your body responds to plants. When introducing a plant, consume it on an empty stomach to see how you respond. [32:30] Will Mushrooms and Coffee Break Your Fast? If you want to do a pure fast, you’re giving your liver a complete break. If that’s the case, you shouldn’t consume mushrooms. If you’re still processing coffee and green tea, mushrooms wouldn’t break your fast. Mushrooms won’t spike your insulin if you’re just doing a water fast, but it’s technically breaking your fast since it is not water. Mushrooms are one more thing that your body must digest even though it doesn’t contain calories. [41:00] The Best Mushrooms For Deeper Sleep and Improved Mood Mushrooms and adaptogens will impact the mind. If you’re in a good mood, you will sleep better. Reishi mushrooms are great for sleep. Another mushroom that is famous for improving sleep is ashwagandha. Many adaptogens will improve your stress levels. When you’re stress levels are improved, your sleep will improve. If you want deeper sleep, reisihi and ashwagandha will help you immensely. [48:55] Chaga For Longevity: An Anti-Aging Powerhouse A healthy body is likelier to live a long time. Avoiding illness will help protect your body in the long run. Chaga mushrooms tend to be great for longevity. Chaga is an adaptogenic fungus with very high amounts of superoxide dismutase.

You’re Doing Everything Right But Still Not Losing Weight - The Hidden Toxin Link to Metabolism Fatigue and Insulin Resistance with Dr. Wendy Myers | #1243

What if your stubborn weight gain, fatigue, or blood sugar issues aren’t just about food or hormones, but the toxins your body has been accumulating for decades? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with detoxification expert Dr. Wendy Myers to explore how heavy metals, environmental chemicals, and everyday exposures may be silently disrupting metabolism, insulin function, and mitochondrial energy. Dr. Myers explains why many people do everything right with diet and exercise yet still struggle with fatigue, weight loss resistance, and metabolic dysfunction.

Weak Hands Are Not a Sign of Aging. They’re an Early Warning of Insulin Resistance, Inflammation, and Metabolic Breakdown | #1242

Weak grip strength is not a normal part of aging. It is often an early warning sign of metabolic dysfunction. In this episode, Ben explains how issues like insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, mitochondrial decline, and mineral depletion can weaken nerve signaling and muscle function, especially in the hands. Grip strength is one of the strongest predictors of longevity, independence, and overall metabolic health. You’ll learn why people can look fit yet still struggle with weak hands, cramping, or fatigue, and how these symptoms often appear years before serious disease. Ben breaks down the four main root causes behind grip weakness and shares a simple daily protocol to restore strength. The episode covers insulin resets, nutrition strategies, mineral support, protein intake, grip training, and the role of creatine in improving strength and muscle signaling. Ben also explains why chronic stress and inflammation accelerate metabolic decline and how gratitude can positively impact metabolism. This episode offers practical, actionable steps you can start today to rebuild grip strength, improve energy, and protect long-term metabolic health.

Why Yellow Teeth Are a Metabolic Warning Sign (And How to Whiten Naturally Without Damaging Your Enamel) | #1241

Why Yellow Teeth Are a Metabolic Warning Sign (And How to Whiten Naturally Without Damaging Your Enamel) | #1241

Yellow teeth are not just a cosmetic issue. They are often a metabolic signal linked to saliva pH, gut health, liver function, and mineral balance. Most whitening strips and bleaching products do not fix the root cause. They temporarily whiten teeth while weakening enamel, increasing porosity, disrupting the oral microbiome, and causing rebound staining over time. Teeth are porous, like a hard sponge. When saliva becomes acidic, stains bind more easily, enamel weakens faster, and whitening results do not last. Common internal drivers of yellow teeth include acid reflux or silent GERD, gut dysbiosis, liver congestion, mineral deficiencies, chronic dehydration, and inflammation. This episode breaks down a natural, root-cause whitening protocol that supports enamel instead of damaging it. Key strategies include using baking soda and activated charcoal safely once per week, oil pulling with coconut oil, and restoring saliva pH through nutrition and mineral intake. You will also learn which foods support healthy saliva pH, which foods and drinks actively damage enamel, and why frequent snacking worsens staining even with healthy foods. The core message: your smile is metabolic, not cosmetic. Fix the internal imbalance, and whitening becomes natural and long-lasting. 🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE - https://bit.ly/4tgoK96  FREE GUIDE: 5 Vegetables You Must Avoid To Lose Weight & Belly Fat HERE - https://bit.ly/4qXVtON  📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

#1239 Ozempic, Muscle Loss, and Metabolic Damage - The Hidden Truth Behind Rapid Weight Loss No One Is Talking About With Ben Azadi

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the hidden risks of Ozempic and GLP-1 weight loss drugs that are rarely discussed. While these medications may lead to quick weight loss, Ben explains why much of that loss comes from muscle, not fat, and how this can slow metabolism and increase long-term fat regain. You’ll learn the critical difference between weight loss and true fat loss, why muscle is essential for metabolic health, and how appetite suppression can quietly sabotage hormones, energy, and recovery. Ben breaks down the four real drivers of weight gain: insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, gut dysfunction, and nutrient depletion. This episode also covers why Ozempic is not a moral or willpower issue, but a metabolic signaling problem, and why obesity is a hormonal condition, not a personal failure. Ben shares a science-backed alternative approach focused on lowering insulin naturally, preserving muscle through resistance training, and healing the gut to restore hunger signals. If you or someone you love is using Ozempic or considering it, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a sustainable path to real metabolic health without dependency on drugs. 🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE - ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4tgoK96⁠⁠  FREE Fat Burning Reset Guide (Better Than Ozempic) HERE - ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3O0mtyH⁠⁠  📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

#1238 Back Pain Isn’t Just Pain - How Poor Posture Triggers Chronic Stress, Slows Fat Burning, and Shortens Lifespan With Ben Azadi

🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE - https://bit.ly/4kgxUhR Back pain is more than discomfort. It can be a warning sign linked to chronic inflammation, nervous system dysregulation, metabolic slowdown, and reduced lifespan. In this episode, Ben Azadi explains how poor posture sends a biological threat signal to the body, keeping it stuck in fight-or-flight mode and impairing fat burning, energy, and recovery. You’ll learn how modern habits like prolonged sitting, phone use, and stress create forward head posture (tech neck), shallow breathing, elevated cortisol, and reduced oxygen delivery to the brain. Ben breaks down why posture is a neurological pattern, not just a muscle issue, and how it can be retrained. This episode walks through a simple five-minute daily posture reset protocol that includes pelvic alignment, core activation, shoulder relaxation, head realignment, and an optional wall drill to retrain the nervous system. Ben also explains why stretching alone does not fix posture and why alignment must come before workouts or mobility work. If you’ve been dealing with back pain, fatigue, brain fog, or stubborn fat, this episode shows how correcting posture can improve breathing, nervous system tone, metabolic health, and overall longevity. 🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE - ⁠https://bit.ly/4tgoK96⁠  📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.
