In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, I delve into the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) movement and critique the dire state of health in the U.S. I present alarming statistics showing that a vast majority of Americans are metabolically unhealthy, with rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and chronic diseases. I argue that the healthcare system perpetuates illness by treating symptoms rather than root causes. I also discuss the impact of environmental toxins on health, emphasizing the need for awareness and proactive measures to reduce exposure. I advocate for a shift in mindset towards true health and wellness. 📍Resources Mentioned:  📚 Purchase Ben's BRAND NEW BOOK - Metabolic Freedom: A 30-Day Guide to Restore Your Metabolism, Heal Hormones & Burn Fat: https://amzn.to/3ZMN5Xd  🌬️ JASPR.

The mistake people make is burning more calories than ingested.  If you lower your dietary calories, over time, you lower your metabolic rate.  Focusing on calorie counting is a HUGE mistake. The body is not a calculator or math equation. 1,000 calories from steak vs skittles will elicit a different response.  Instead of focusing on calories, it’s more effective to: Focus on insulin sensitivity… How insulin causes fat storage. This brings me to the #1 exercise to lose belly fat… Strength training… Think of your muscle mass as sponges for glucose… The goal is not weight loss it’s fat loss.. The best workout routine for fat loss… 3 sets of 4 compound movements, twice per week. WORKOUT TEMPLATE. Monday:  3 sets of bench press or push ups. Bench press 8-12 reps, or max push ups 3 sets of weighted squats or body weight squats Weighted squats 8-12 reps, or 20 squats 3 sets of weight shoulder press 8-12 reps 3 sets of bench dips 8-12 reps  Wednesday 3 sets of one arm rows 8-12 reps 3 sets of burpees 15 burpees each set 3 sets of weighted lunges or body weight lunges 8-12 reps of weighted, 20 body weight lunges (10 each leg) 3 sets of close grip bench press or close grip push ups.
