#1021 The 7 Foods That Reverse Muscle Loss & Strengthen Your Legs FAST with Ben Azadi

Did you know that poor sleep can stall fat loss—no matter how perfect your diet and workouts are? Why Sleep is the Master Switch for Metabolism: sleep is more important than diet and exercise when it comes to metabolic health. Think of your metabolism as a symphony—sleep is the conductor. Without it, everything falls apart. 4 Ways Poor Sleep Wrecks Your Fat-Burning Ability 1️⃣ Increases Blood Sugar & Insulin Resistance After just one week of poor sleep, blood sugar levels mimic prediabetes. Hunger hormones (ghrelin & leptin) go out of whack, leading to overeating. 2️⃣ Slows Down Metabolism Poor sleep lowers resting metabolic rate (RMR) and reduces fat-burning capacity. It also elevates cortisol, increasing fat storage, especially belly fat. 3️⃣ Toxic Buildup in the Brain The glymphatic system clears toxins during deep sleep. Without it? Buildup of beta-amyloid (linked to Alzheimer’s). Poor sleep is associated with brain fog, mood disorders, and accelerated aging. 4️⃣ Circadian Rhythm Mismatch = Shortened Lifespan Night shift work & erratic sleep increase the risk of metabolic diseases and even cancer. The WHO classifies night shift work as a probable carcinogen. 🔹 7-Day Sleep Optimization Plan for Fat Loss 📅 Day 1: Fix Your Sleep Schedule Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day (even on weekends!). Sleep between 10 PM - 2 AM for maximum fat-burning benefits (the "Money Time Sleep Window"). 🌞 Day 2: Get Morning & Evening Sunlight Morning sunlight lowers cortisol and regulates your body clock. Evening light (sunset or dim lights) signals melatonin production. 📵 Day 3: Cut Off Blue Light at Night No screens 90 minutes before bed—use blue light blocking glasses if needed. Reduce artificial light and avoid bright overhead lights at night. 🥗 Day 4: Stop Eating at Least 3 Hours Before Bed Eating late raises body temperature and insulin, blocking deep sleep. If you must snack, prioritize protein & fat instead of carbs. 🌡 Day 5: Keep Your Bedroom Cool (60-68°F) Lower body temperature = deeper sleep. Use a cooling mattress pad or sleep with less clothing if necessary. 💆 Day 6: Use Magnesium & Relaxation Hacks Magnesium glycinate before bed can calm the nervous system. Try meditation, breathwork, or binaural beats for relaxation. 🚫 Day 7: No Caffeine After 2 PM Caffeine has a half-life of 5-6 hours—cut it off early for better sleep. If you need a pick-me-up, opt for herbal teas or decaf options. Bonus: Sleep Tracking & Biohacking Use a sleep tracker (Oura Ring, WHOOP) to monitor deep sleep & HRV. Experiment with red light therapy before bed for melatonin production. Try BrainTap or inHarmony meditation cushion to enhance relaxation.   🎁 📚 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Gary Brecka, Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

I was just interviewed on NBC news about bio-hacks that help make weight loss effortless. I was so inspired that I decided to hit record here and share the 5 biohacks that help you lose stubborn fat! This is all taken from Chapter 11: Cutting-Edge Biohacks to Achieve a New Level of Health of my brand new book Metabolic Freedom. The first biohack that makes weight loss effortless is cold exposure. 1️⃣ Brown Fat Activation & Fat Loss Cold therapy activates brown fat, which burns calories to generate heat. Unlike white fat (which stores energy), brown fat boosts metabolism & aids weight loss. 🧑‍🔬 Study Insight: People with active brown fat burn more calories – one study showed 20 kcal more per session! 2️⃣ Energy & Focus Boost Cold exposure releases epinephrine & norepinephrine, making you feel alert and focused. 🚀 These neurochemicals stay elevated even after exposure, leading to higher productivity & mood enhancement. 🧠💡 3️⃣ Inflammation, Recovery & Immunity Regular cold therapy: ✅ Reduces inflammation ✅ Speeds up muscle recovery 💪 ✅ Enhances immune function Dr. Andrew Huberman’s protocol: 👉 11 minutes per week (spread over 2-4 sessions) for max benefits. 4️⃣ Best Time for Cold Exposure Morning is best 🕙: Studies show higher brown fat activity & metabolic benefits. Men: Greater thermogenesis in the morning. Women: Lipid metabolism more responsive in the morning. 5️⃣ Cold Exposure & Exercise Pre-exercise cold exposure 🔥 can boost endurance & power, especially in heat. BUT… Avoid cold right after workouts – it may blunt recovery and reduce adaptation to training. 🎁 📚 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Gary Brecka, Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Emily Rowe. She graduated from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in 2004 with a doctorate degree in medicine. After a brief time in the field of Internal Medicine, she became frustrated with the Western approach to illness.

Inspired to find a comprehensive and definitive way to heal her patients, she went back to school and completed her Master’s Degree in Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture (Master of Oriental Medicine) in 2009.   She and her husband, Christopher M. Estes MD, opened the Miami Beach Comprehensive Wellness Center in 2017. In this episode, Dr. Emily takes us through the intricate web of factors that affect our health, often lurking beneath the surface. She sheds light on the challenges of maintaining health, emphasizing how elevated toxic burdens or chronic infections can impact the body's pathophysiology, leading to issues like hormone imbalances and irregular blood sugar. Dr. Emily draws intriguing connections between heavy metal toxicity and cardiovascular problems, highlighting the role of metals as conductors that can disrupt the heart's electrical conductivity system, contributing to conditions like hypertension and atrial fibrillation. Join us on this enlightening journey with Dr. Emily as she uncovers the hidden factors affecting our health and provides valuable insights for a holistic approach to well-being.
