#1217 I Detoxed My Liver and Lost 80 Pounds Without Counting Calories — The 5 Simple Hacks That Unlock Fat Loss and Hormone Balance With Ben Azadi
In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down how he lost 80 pounds without calorie counting, extreme exercise, or willpower by fixing one overlooked organ that controls fat burning: the liver. Ben explains why a toxic or overworked liver shuts down fat loss, disrupts hormones, increases insulin resistance, and drives stubborn belly fat. He shares the science behind fatty liver, obesogens, and why modern toxin exposure makes detoxification essential for metabolic health. You will learn five simple, practical liver detox strategies that help remove inflammation, restore hormone balance, and unlock natural fat burning: Why eating too close to bedtime blocks liver detox and fat loss How bitter foods stimulate bile production and improve digestion How sauna use multiplies detox, boosts insulin sensitivity, and enhances fat burning Natural ways to increase glutathione, the body’s master detox antioxidant Why chronic stress and cortisol sabotage liver health and how gratitude lowers stress hormones Ben also answers common questions about detox myths, rapid fat loss, alcohol consumption, and the biggest mistakes people make when trying to detox. This episode is a powerful reminder that your body is not broken. When you remove the interference, your metabolism does what it was designed to do.

#1215 The Apple Cider Vinegar Myth Exposed - When It Helps, When It Backfires, and How to Use It to Control Blood Sugar and Burn Fat Naturally With Ben Azadi
Apple cider vinegar is not a fat burner or a detox. It is a metabolic signal that influences how your body handles sugar and insulin. In this episode, Ben explains why blood sugar spikes matter more than sugar itself, how insulin drives fat storage, and how apple cider vinegar can slow sugar absorption when used correctly. You’ll learn the biggest mistakes people make with apple cider vinegar, the exact timing that makes it effective, and why taking it randomly or after eating sugar backfires. Ben shares his recommended protocol, including liquid vs capsule options, how often to use it, and why more is not better. He also explains how apple cider vinegar can support keto, low-carb, and carnivore diets by improving fat digestion. The episode also breaks down common myths around acid reflux, GERD, and stomach acid, and why metabolic health is about signals, not willpower or calorie counting. Key takeaway: Apple cider vinegar does not cause fat loss directly, but when used properly, it can reduce insulin spikes, support metabolic flexibility, and improve energy after meals.

What if your bowel movements are one of the clearest signals of your metabolic health, stress levels, and ability to heal? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, host Ben Azadi sits down with functional gut health practitioner Liz Roman, widely known as “The Poop Queen,” to unpack a topic most people ignore, but their body never forgets: bowel movements.

#1210 Your Legs Are Weak Because of This Silent Metabolic Killer – The Hidden Link Between Insulin Resistance, Muscle Loss, and Aging You Were Never Told About With Ben Azadi
Leg weakness, burning when walking, wobbling knees, or foot pain are not signs of aging. They are often early warnings of insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, which silently damages muscle, nerves, and circulation long before diabetes is diagnosed. Your legs are meant to be the body’s largest blood sugar sponge. When insulin resistance develops, glucose cannot enter muscle cells efficiently, leading to muscle fatigue, inflammation, fat infiltration, nerve damage, and poor circulation. Common warning signs include: Heavy or tired legs while walking Burning or cramping muscles Balance issues and slower gait Difficulty standing from a chair Tingling, numbness, or cold feet Key labs that reveal the problem: Fasting insulin (optimal: 3–6) HbA1c (optimal: 5.2% or lower) Fasting glucose (70–90 mg/dL) Triglycerides under 100 HDL over 60 Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio under 1.5 The 7-step protocol to restore leg strength: Stop eating at least 3 hours before bed Strength train legs twice per week Eat 30–40g of high-quality protein per meal Lower carbs, eliminate snacking, and walk after meals Walk daily to improve circulation Support nerves with sleep, B vitamins, grounding, and red light therapy Prioritize deep, consistent sleep Ben emphasizes that leg strength is metabolic protection, not vanity, and that fixing insulin resistance can rapidly restore strength, balance, and energy. 🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE - https://bit.ly/4qB9Nw6 👉Vivarays: https://bit.ly/3L719GN 👉Events: https://Benazadi.com/events 📚 🎁 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.
