Luckily, Oz took supplements that helped him build and repair his cells. As you get older, you need to balance building and repairing times. If you eat too often, there will be consequences and health problems. You will build better muscle mass if you learn how to back off of eating. Oz Garcia recommends reading The 7 Principles of Stress: Extend Life, Stay Fit, and Ward Off Fat--What You Didn't Know about How Stress Can Reboot Your Mind, Energy, and Sex Life: https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Stress-Extend-Fat-What-Reboot/dp/1623171814/benazadi-20 [10:40] Debilitating Migraines: How Oz Garcia Used Fasting To Cure His Health Problems Oz read the book The Miracle of Fasting: Proven Throughout History for Physical, Mental, & Spiritual Rejuvenation: https://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Fasting-Throughout-Spiritual-Rejuvenation/dp/0877900396/benazadi-20 Oz used to suffer from migraine headaches. After reading the book, Oz did a two-day water fast during a migraine. The fast got rid of his migraine, making him feel incredible! Next, Oz did a three-day carrot juice fast. Later, it became routine to do seven-day fasts. As Oz started evolving his points of view, he would go to the sauna and have an even deeper detox. [22:45] Therapeutic Peptides Can Help Normalize Your Brain Chemistry Certain peptides actually will regulate the brain chemistry of somebody who's overweight or obese. Oral peptides can be taken that profoundly affect normalizing brain chemistry. With the right peptides, the body can regulate appetite and sugar.

Some theorists would tell you that trauma lives in different body parts, and we hold that somatically in muscles and ligaments. Trauma accumulates throughout a lifetime. PTSD is an extreme expression of trauma. Covid left Oz with a lot of trauma and PTSD. [42:10] Long Covid: Recovering From These Exhausting Symptoms Oz suffered from intense joint pain after Covid. Plus, he also had insomnia. Severe exhaustion was the biggest problem Oz had after Covid. So, Oz tried to rebuild his energy back. He had to teach himself how to breathe all over again.

Oz says to check out Matt Walker: https://www.sleepdiplomat.com/ If you're going to recover from Covid, you must get religious about your sleep practice. Your body will repair during sleep, and that’s the only time you will recover. Going to bed earlier in the night and getting up earlier in the morning have a terrific effect on every aspect of your biology. Memory consolidation takes place during deep sleep. Your room needs to be cold when you are sleeping. AND MUCH MORE!

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. The conversation breaks down how toxic metals like arsenic, cadmium, iron, and mercury interfere with insulin signaling, damage cells, and contribute to conditions like pre-diabetes, fatty liver, and chronic fatigue. You’ll also learn what real detox actually means, how to test for heavy metals, practical daily detox strategies, and emerging approaches like bioenergetic frequency tools. If you’ve hit a plateau despite healthy habits, this episode explores a powerful missing piece in metabolic health. Key Topics Covered Why toxins may be a major missing link in weight loss resistance and metabolic dysfunction How heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, iron, lead, and mercury interfere with insulin and energy production The connection between environmental toxins and pre-diabetes, fatty liver, and chronic fatigue Why many people struggle with weight loss even when diet and exercise are optimized Common hidden toxin sources including water, cookware, air, personal care products, and protein powders The best ways to test for heavy metals, including blood, hair mineral analysis, urine testing, and bioenergetic scans Why detox is not a short-term cleanse but a lifelong daily practice Core detox foundations: minerals, binders, antioxidants, and liver support The role of infrared sauna and sweating in removing fat-soluble toxins How toxin storage in fat cells may contribute to stubborn body fat Bioenergetics and frequency-based tools as an emerging approach to supporting healing The impact of chemical sensitivity and how detox may improve tolerance over time Practical lifestyle strategies to support ongoing detox in a toxic environment The role of mindset, gratitude, and positive internal messaging in supporting healing and metabolic function Resources & Links Mentioned Follow Dr. Wendy Myers Website: https://myersdetox.comPodcast: Myers Detox PodcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WendyMyers Spooky2: https://www.spooky2.comMorley Robbins (Iron metabolism research):https://therootcauseprotocol.com   Follow Ben Azadi 🌐 Website: https://www.benazadi.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebenazadi💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benazadi▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ketokamp 🔎 Find All Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship Dealshttps://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals Learn more about your ad choices.

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

#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

#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.
