[10:05] Your Health is Your Wealth · Conventional medicine in America is often called "health care," but it's "sick care" because it only focuses on treating symptoms and doesn't teach people how to be healthy. · Wake Up and Aikido camp teaches people how to be healthy and is an example of health care. · Eating clean and caring for your body is important for optimal health and can lead to a smaller, less leaky gut with fewer toxins seeping through. · It's okay to occasionally eat less healthy foods if your gut is healthy and able to handle it. · The goal is progress, not perfection, and developing metabolic flexibility is important for long-term health. [17:15] What to Look For When Buying Red Meat · Labels on meat products can be misleading and is often a selling tactic. · Consumers should be aware of the terms used, such as "natural," "no hormones," "no antibiotics," "grass-fed," "vegetarian fed," etc. · Most cows are fed inflammatory foods like grains, which can lead to health problems for the cows and the consumers who eat their meat. · Some cows are even fed candy bars to fatten them up for more profit. · High-quality meat is important for better nutrition and anti-inflammatory properties. · Grass-fed and finished is the best option, as it means the cow has eaten grass from start to finish of its life. [22:05] The Worst Artificial Sweeteners vs The Best Sugar Replacements Some inflammatory artificial sweeteners are sucralose and brown rice syrup. At the same time, some recommended sugar replacements are Coconut Sugar (less refined, lower glycemic index), Pure Maple Syrup, Non-GMO Monkfruit, Dates (and date syrup), and Raw Honey. · Brown rice syrup may be perceived as healthy but is often found in products with other inflammatory ingredients. · The recommended sugar replacements are less refined and often have better nutritional value than artificial sweeteners. · Stevia is disliked due to the harsh chemicals used to extract it, which can cause gut disruption for some people. · Monk fruit is a better alternative, as it has a zero glycemic index and does not cause the same issues as stevia. · Many people have noticed positive digestion and overall health changes after eliminating stevia from their diets. [28:50] Is Oatmeal Actually Healthy For You? · Oats can be considered in the gray area of healthy foods due to their pros and cons. · Most oats are sprayed with glyphosate, a pesticide that promotes inflammation and can harm health. · Oats are high in phytic acid, an anti-nutrient that prevents the body from absorbing necessary nutrients. · Too much phytic acid can lead to gut issues, inflammation, arthritis, and brain fog. · Organic and sprouted oats are better options for consuming oats. [47:55] The Top 5 Most Commonly Asked Questions About Food Labels · Consume high-quality protein from grass-fed beef, mackerel, and fish instead of relying on protein bars. Read the labels on coffee creamers carefully and choose cleaner options like Three Trees almond milk, which contains only water and almonds, cashews, or walnuts. Eating real, whole foods to improve health and well-being. Notice how certain foods make you feel and adjust your diet accordingly. Liposomal vitamin C is better absorbed into the body and can be more effective than traditional vitamin C supplements. Many people avoid bread while dieting, but it's not necessary. However, keep in mind to avoid grains and pseudo-grains. AND MUCH MORE!

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the real reason aging accelerates after 40 and the free 10-minute ritual that reverses visible aging from the inside out. Instead of creams, injections, or prescriptions, Ben explains how activating your body’s natural nitric oxide (NO) production can restore youthful energy, boost fat-burning, improve collagen, sharpen the brain, and recharge your mitochondria. Ben breaks down what nitric oxide is, why production drops up to 60 percent by your 40s, and how this decline leads to wrinkles, fatigue, stubborn belly fat, and poor sleep.

Guest expert Dr. Nathan Bryan, one of the world’s leading nitric oxide researchers, explains exactly how NO controls blood flow, cellular energy, mitochondrial function, longevity, and disease prevention. Ben then expands the protocol with two powerful add-ons:• 20-second sprints to boost human growth hormone by up to 450 percent• Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) to increase ATP, collagen, and nitric oxide signaling He closes with a rapid-fire Q&A about blood pressure, age 60+, sauna vs. cold plunge, combining stacks, and timing.

#1162 Doctors Lied About Sugar: THIS Is Why You Still Can't Burn Belly Fat

#1162 Doctors Lied About Sugar: THIS Is Why You Still Can't Burn Belly Fat

This episode features highlights from Ben’s live keynote presentation, revealing why sugar is not the true cause of obesity. The real driver is cellular inflammation. When the cell membrane becomes inflamed, hormones cannot communicate, fat-burning shuts down, and chronic disease begins to develop. Key Points From the Keynote • Obesity is not genetic. It is epigenetic and driven by lifestyle choices. • Seed oils are the biggest trigger of cellular inflammation and mitochondrial damage. • These inflammatory fats remain in the body for years. The half-life of linoleic acid is 680 days. • One french fry cooked in vegetable oil can create aldehydes equivalent to 25 cigarette drags. • Weight gain is a symptom, not the root cause. You do not lose weight to get healthy. You get healthy first, then weight loss follows. • Thoughts influence metabolism. Negativity increases inflammation while gratitude supports healing. • Self-image shapes behavior. You cannot outperform the identity stored in your subconscious. • Purpose and clear goals improve longevity. People live longer when they have something meaningful to pursue. • Vitamin G (gratitude) reduces cortisol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and strengthens the immune system. Takeaways • Remove seed oils to reduce inflammation and restore hormonal signaling. • Upgrade thought patterns and self-image to break self-sabotage cycles. • Purpose and gratitude are two of the most powerful metabolic tools available. 🔎 Find all of the Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship deals and coupon codes here:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals
