Should I Do Keto If I Don’t Want To Lose Weight? Yes, you should do keto even if you don’t want to lose weight. Keto is excellent for your brain and cognitive performance; keto helps you be productive and resilient. In fact, ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier and give you an alternative fuel source. If you're never making ketones, you deprive your cells of 50% of your body’s fuel source. In addition, keto is great for longevity, anti-aging, and lowering inflammation in the body. It’s a great tool whether you want to lose weight or not. Many people come to keto primarily to lose weight. However, they stick with keto because they love the other health benefits they see from the lifestyle. I Can’t Get My Ketones Above .5, What Am I Doing Wrong? First, you’re not doing anything wrong. Maybe you can change your approach. When it comes to ketones, higher doesn’t necessarily mean better. You don’t want high glucose, so why would you want high ketones? .5 is great! That means you are burning fat instead of sugar - congratulations! However, if you want to raise your ketones, fasting is a great way to get those numbers up. Also, MCT oil has been proven to raise ketone production. Add MCT oil to your coffee or tea. Lastly, about 30% of MCT is in goat and sheep dairy. Overall, it’s important to remember that you should pay attention to how you’re feeling rather than what your ketone levels are. What Should I Do If I’m In Ketosis, But I’m Not Losing Weight? Weight loss is a worthy goal; you should want to get healthy by reaching your goal weight. However, the human body doesn’t always prioritize weight loss. In fact, losing weight is against our basic survival instinct. The body needs to get healthy and optimize its hormones first; as a result of these two things, the weight will come off. If you’re struggling with weight loss, you should put your scale away. Now it’s time to focus on the non-scale victories. Are your energy levels improving? How is your skin complexion? Are your clothes fitting better? Start taking pictures! The number on the scale is a liar because the scale will fluctuate for so many reasons. All in all, pay attention to how you’re feeling and looking rather than the number on the scale. Can You Gain Weight By Doing The Ketogenic Diet? Yes, you can gain weight by doing the ketogenic diet. If you prioritize your protein on a keto approach and have a caloric surplus, most likely, you will gain weight. Increasing your calories is going to help put you in a growth place. Some ketogenic bodybuilders put on tons of muscles. You have to be strategic regarding proteins, calories, weightlifting, and quality sleep. If you want to gain weight, you can definitely make it happen on a ketogenic diet. While on the other hand, will you gain weight if that’s not your goal? Yes, it can happen. If you’re overeating fat, then you can gain weight. Remember, your body can get fat from dietary fat or the fat on your body. How Can We Support The Liver? Symptoms are such a blessing and a gift from the body. A symptom means something is going on that we need to explore. Symptoms are trying to tell you something and may be telling you to support the liver. The liver produces bile. Bile is needed for detoxification and breaking down fats. When you’re increasing your healthy fats, but your liver is sluggish, you can’t produce the proper bile flow to break down the fats. Sluggish bile is one of the reasons why people will feel worse when they try the keto diet. Apple cider vinegar is terrific for liver and fat loss. Coffee, arugula, dandelion greens, dandelion teas, lemons, and limes are great ways to support the liver as well.

In this episode, Ben reveals three stupid-simple movements that activate fat loss in under five minutes a day — no gym, no sweating, no burpees.

#1175 The Silent Signs Your Kidneys Are Failing (Years Before Blood Tests Catch It) — And The Proven Protocol to Reverse It Naturally With Ben Azadi

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the earliest warning signs of kidney decline—signals that appear years before traditional labs detect a problem. He explains why kidneys can lose up to 80% of their function with no pain, what subtle symptoms to watch for, and how insulin resistance, inflammation, uric acid, dehydration, and NSAIDs silently damage the kidneys. Ben shares the 7 major early symptoms most people miss: foamy urine, fatigue, puffy eyes, lower back discomfort, metallic taste, itchy skin, and frequent nighttime urination. He then guides listeners through the Metabolic Freedom Kidney Reset Protocol, a research-backed plan to regenerate kidney health naturally. This includes the renal reset morning drink, removing fructose and seed oils, kidney-support supplements, fasting strategies, mineral support, and the daily “Vitamin G” gratitude practice. Ben also answers audience questions on hydration, protein intake, keto, and kidney stress. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to protect their kidneys, reduce inflammation, support metabolic health, and catch problems early—before they become irreversible.

#1174 Why One in Three People Have Fatty Liver (and Don’t Know It) — Plus the Simple 72-Hour Strategy That Heals Your Liver and Ignites Fat-Burning — With Ben Azadi

In this episode, Ben reveals the 3-day science-backed protocol that rapidly reverses fatty liver — one of the most overlooked drivers of weight gain, fatigue, bloating, cravings, and insulin resistance. One in three people have fatty liver and don’t know it, but research shows you can transform your liver and metabolism in as little as 72 hours with a simple, free, strategic approach. Ben breaks down three powerful human studies showing how fasting switches the liver into fat-burning mode within hours, activates AMPK to reduce inflammation, improves insulin sensitivity, and lowers liver fat fast. He also shares the step-by-step daily plan: Day 1: Choose your fasting level, break your fast with the Liver Flush Plate, and follow the circadian liver reset Day 2: Morning ACV protocol, post-meal walks, and zero fructose Day 3: Liver Reset Meal and inflammation control You’ll learn the exact foods that stimulate bile flow, the nutrients that repair liver cells, what to avoid, and how to sync your meals with your circadian rhythm for maximum healing. This simple 3-day fix leads to less bloating, better digestion, improved liver enzymes, increased energy, deeper sleep, and noticeable fat loss — all by working with your body’s innate healing ability. If you’ve struggled with stubborn belly fat or unexplained metabolic issues, this episode gives you the blueprint to take back control in just 72 hours.

#1173 The Exact Timing Trick That Makes Apple Cider Vinegar Melt Belly Fat, Balance Blood Sugar, and Crush Cravings With Ben Azadi

#1173 The Exact Timing Trick That Makes Apple Cider Vinegar Melt Belly Fat, Balance Blood Sugar, and Crush Cravings With Ben Azadi

In this episode, Ben breaks down the right way to use apple cider vinegar for fat loss, gut health, and stable energy. ACV only works when taken at the correct timing, and most people unknowingly do it wrong, which leads to cravings, blood sugar crashes, and zero progress. Ben explains why 10–20 minutes before your biggest meal is the sweet spot for lowering blood sugar spikes, improving insulin sensitivity, reducing cravings, and activating your fat-burning pathways. He also covers the benefits for acid reflux, GERD, bloating, and digestion — and why low stomach acid is the hidden reason many people struggle with gut issues. You’ll learn the ideal dosage, the difference between liquid ACV and supplements, why many gummies are useless, and a minute-by-minute breakdown of what ACV does inside your body. Ben also answers the most common listener questions about fasting, warm water, morning routines, and long-term use.

#1170 The 14-Day Visceral Fat Reset: The Science-Backed Protocol That Reverses Fatty Liver, Lowers Insulin, and Rebuilds Your Metabolism From the Inside Out… With Ben Azadi

#1170 The 14-Day Visceral Fat Reset: The Science-Backed Protocol That Reverses Fatty Liver, Lowers Insulin, and Rebuilds Your Metabolism From the Inside Out… With Ben Azadi

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down a powerful 14-day protocol designed to melt visceral fat without exercise. Even people who eat clean and work out can still store dangerous fat around their liver and organs due to high insulin, liver inflammation, and sluggish mitochondria. Ben explains how this step-by-step plan lowers insulin, unclogs the liver, boosts bile flow, and reactivates mitochondrial fat burning. Listeners will learn how to use a daily insulin reset window, protein-first eating, carb sequencing, the Liver Flush Cup, nitric oxide activation before meals, and a protein-forward day. Ben also covers how to use a mini 20-hour fast, a 10-hour eating window, fat-loss coffee made with olive oil, bitter liver-supporting foods, and nighttime cortisol-lowering rituals. The protocol finishes with a 24-hour fast followed by a strategic carb-refuel to restore leptin sensitivity and break plateaus. By day 14, you can expect better insulin control, reduced liver fat, improved metabolic flexibility, more energy, clearer thinking, and measurable decreases in visceral fat. Ben also answers listener questions about repeating the protocol, how to modify it for keto/carnivore, coffee alternatives, olive oil intake, and why alcohol slows results.
