[11:31] Highest Value: Know Who You Are and The Most Important in Your Life - Being clear about what is most important for you is life's single most important thing in driving anything, like passion and purpose. - Everybody in the world has a different highest values and unique purpose they're here for. - Just because somebody else may have the same purpose as you doesn't mean your purpose is less important. - Be a grown-up and figure out how to change your view and narrative of something for it to benefit. [20:18] How Keto and Intermittent Fasting Helps Overcome Addiction - Most medicine and healthcare these days are not necessarily to alleviate suffering but to prolong life. - Suffering addiction patients are drawn to sugar, refined carbs, and processed foods. - Sugar, refined foods, and highly processed carbohydrates are addictive. - With a no-sugar diet, patients with mental problems were positively impacted. - Once we start healing and finding the sweetness inside, we will automatically stop looking for the sweetness outside in food. [30:55] CrossFit Health: Creating the Path in Connecting Health and Fitness - Karen organized a huge low-carb conference in South Africa, inviting all well-known low-carb advocates. - CrossFit’s purpose is to bridge the gap between nutrition and exercise. - When people become too stuck on the external appearance in any part of any training, we lose sight of the bigger picture and how it will affect us later in life, which is what we need to focus on. [39:33] Are Carnivore Diet for Life Good Or Bad? - Karen doesn’t believe in the carnivore diet for life but said that it is still a great therapeutic tool. - Occasionally, a carnivore diet is great when resetting or dealing with mental health. - Everyone should try and experiment with it. - On the other hand, to determine which vegetables to eat, you need to eat them and see how you feel afterward. [44:51 Artificial Sweeteners: Can You Use It as a Sugar Replacement? - Yes, artificial sweeteners are not ideal. But sometimes, we need them as a stepping stone to something else. - To replace sugar, remove the component that needs for sweetness for the sweet taste. Just simply move away from it. - Get rid of it. It's not necessary. AND MUCH MORE!

#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.

#1163 The 10-Minute Anti-Aging Protocol That Reverses Cellular Decline and Supercharges Your Metabolism With Ben Azadi

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. He shares his personal 10-minute Nitric Oxide Activation Protocol:• A 4-minute nitric oxide dump workout• A 3-minute sunlight + nasal breathing reset• A 3-minute grounding + “Vitamin G” gratitude practice He also shows how this routine dramatically improved his HRV, sleep, and readiness scores using his Oura Ring. 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
