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.

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
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

#1158 The “Healthy” Carb That’s Secretly Destroying Your Metabolism and Shutting Off Fat-Burning Hormones After 40 With Ben Azadi
Most people think sugar is the worst carb — but there’s one “healthy” carb that’s even more dangerous. In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals how whole-grain wheat bread, often labeled as “heart-healthy,” secretly shuts off your fat-burning hormones, causes insulin resistance, and keeps you inflamed — especially after 40. You’ll learn how this common food spikes your glucose just like candy, blocks your metabolism for hours, and fuels hormone imbalances like leptin resistance, thyroid slowdown, and estrogen dominance. Ben shares real data from his glucose monitor experiment and explains why removing wheat products for just 14 days can dramatically boost energy, improve sleep, and restart fat burning. You’ll also discover the best carb alternatives — sweet potatoes, cooled white rice, and root vegetables — plus how to download his free 7-Day Fat Loss Protocol to finally heal your metabolism and reclaim your energy. 👉 Download your free guide here:https://bit.ly/43yq2B5 📚 🎁 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today: http://www.metabolicfreedombook.com 🔎 Find all sponsorship deals and discount codes: ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals
