#967 Why Your Belly Fat Won’t Disappear... & The 7 Simple Step 14-Day Protocol To Fix It with Ben Azadi
If you have extra fat around your belly that you just cannot seem to get rid of, I’ll be sharing with you a 7 simple step protocol that will allow you to lose stubborn fat within 14 days. Each step is linked to the next step, so be sure to follow this protocol the way it is laid out.. No, you don’t have to suffer. No, you don’t have to even count calories. No, you don’t have to rely on willpower. In fact, this will be easy. Let’s start with the first step… Step #1: The 3 exchange diet… A simple 3 dietary exchange…. Exchange 1: Remove The Following Insulin Spiking & High Plant Toxin Foods Wheat All grains Brown rice Millet White Rice Oats (Includes oatmeal) Barley Corn Soy Pasteurized Cow Dairy Spinach Kale Tomato Almonds & Almond flour Eggplants Peanuts & Peanut butter Replace With Following Insulin Friend & Low Plant Toxin Foods Cauliflower rice Squash rice Cabbage rice Sheep & goat dairy Coconut milk (unsweetened) Macadamia nut milk (unsweetened) Walnuts Pecans Pili Nuts Macadamia nuts Arugula Asparagus Exchange 2, replace inflammatory fats with healthy fats Remove The Following Bad Fats… Canola Oil (Rapeseed oil in the UK) Corn Oil Cottonseed Oil Safflower Oil Sunflower Oil Soybean Oil Rice Bran Oil Refined Peanut Oil Grapeseed Oil Fish Oil Replace With The Following Stable Fats (Saturated & Monounsaturated Fats) The Best Fats For Cooking at High Temps Are The Following Animal Fats: Butter Ghee Beef Tallow Duck Fat Lard (non hydrogenated from pastured pigs) The Best Fats For Salad Dressings, Drips & Low Heat Cooking Are The Following Fruit Based Fats: Coconut Oil Avocado Oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil The 3rd exchange is to replace sugar and artificial sweeteners with healthier choices. Remove the following Raw Sugar Processed Sugar Fruit Juice Evaporated Cane Juice Agave Nectar Sucralose (Splenda) Aspartame Replace these with the following safe and healthy sugar alternatives… Stevia Monk Fruit Allulose Xylitol Erythritol Raw Honey (limited) Step #2: Practice this meal timing schedule to lower the fat storage hormone insulin.. You have hundreds of hormones inside your body. Hormones are chemical messengers. Some hormones activate fat burning, some hormones help with energy, some hormones help with longevity, but ONLY ONE HORMONE causes fat storage (and shuts off fat burning). 🎁 📚 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Gary Brecka, Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

#965 The TRUTH About CBD & Your Health! The Endocannabinoid System EXPLAINED w/ Dr. Michael Stewart & Chris Lindahl
In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, we dive deep into the endocannabinoid system—the master regulator of health that most people (and even doctors) don’t fully understand. Dr. Michael Stewart and Chris Lindahl from Entourage join us to uncover how the endocannabinoid system influences inflammation, chronic disease, and overall health. We discuss: ✅ What the endocannabinoid system is and why it’s critical for health ✅ How inflammation, long Covid, and metabolic issues are all connected ✅ The difference between CBD isolate and full-spectrum hemp—and why it matters ✅ How to restore and optimize your endocannabinoid system naturally ✅ Clinical research on cannabis for inflammation, anxiety, brain fog, and pain ✅ How Dr. Stewart’s long Covid study showed 8 out of 9 symptom improvements ✅ Why most CBD products don’t work—and how to find quality hemp products ✅ The Entourage Effect—why using the whole plant is superior to CBD isolates ✅ How to properly use CBD & hemp for sleep, recovery, and nervous system health Resources Mentioned: 🔗 Entourage Products ⭐️ Purchase Endourage products at 50% off!

The endocannabinoid system is critical for regulating inflammation, yet it’s often overlooked in traditional medicine. 🌱 CBD isolates ≠ full-spectrum hemp. Most commercial CBD products are isolates, stripping away beneficial compounds. Entourage focuses on whole-plant extracts, preserving the full-spectrum Entourage Effect. ⚡ The mitochondria-endocannabinoid connection. Chronic stress locks your body into a cell danger response, which leads to chronic fatigue, brain fog, and pain. Optimizing the endocannabinoid system helps restore cellular balance. 😴 Better sleep, less anxiety. Many people report significant improvements in HRV, deep sleep, and stress resilienceusing properly formulated full-spectrum hemp products. 🐶 CBD for pets? Yes! Entourage’s products are safe for dogs and can help with anxiety, inflammation, and mobility issues—but always use a direct oral application, not mixed in food. 🧪 Lab Testing & Purity Matter. Entourage tests for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbes to ensure clean, safe, and effective products. 🚨 THC Warning: If you are drug tested at work, check with your employer before using Entourage products, as they contain full-spectrum cannabinoids, including trace amounts of THC.

#960 5 Fake "Healthy" Foods Sabotaging Your Fat Loss & Feeding Cancer with Ben Azadi
🔥 "This is going to shock you, but these so-called 'healthy' fat loss foods are the WORST for your metabolism. When you consume them, it puts the brakes on fat burning. And guess what? These 5 “health foods” are in most foods you're eating—silently sabotaging your fat loss and even feeding cancer! "If you want to live longer, feel younger, and keep visceral fat off, I’ve broken down this video into three critical lessons: 1️⃣ What these hidden ingredient are that the food industry doesn’t want you to know 2️⃣ How to spot this dangerous ingredient in foods labeled ‘healthy’ 3️⃣ How to break free from the addiction to this ingredient and avoid it so you can burn fat and stay disease-free" 💡 Trust me, by the end of this episode you’ll never look at 'health foods' the same way again! 1. "Heart-Healthy" Vegetable Oils (Seed Oils) 🛑 ✅ Better Choices: Cook with grass-fed butter, tallow, avocado oil, or extra virgin olive oil for real metabolic support! 2. Fat-Free & Low-Fat Dairy 🥛🚫 🔥 Fun Fact: Your brain is made of 60% fat—so why would we avoid healthy fats? ✅ Better Choices: Stick to full-fat, grass-fed dairy for its natural nutrients and metabolic benefits. 3. "Healthy" Whole Grain Breads 🍞 🔬 Why it’s bad: Whole wheat still spikes blood sugar almost as fast as white bread, leading to fat storage and insulin resistance. Many brands add high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)—a sugar that literally poisons your mitochondria and accelerates fat gain. Plus, many store-bought breads contain glyphosate (a weed killer) residue, which is linked to metabolic dysfunction. ✅ Better Choices: If you’re going to eat bread, choose sourdough or einkorn wheat—they’re easier on your blood sugar. 4. Plant-Based Meat Alternatives 🌱🍔 ✅ Better Choices: Opt for grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken, wild-caught fish, or real, whole plant foods like mushrooms and legumes. 5. Fruit Juices & Smoothies 🥤 (Yes, Even "Natural" Ones!) ✅ Better Choices: Eat whole fruits or blend your smoothies with fiber, protein, and healthy fats to slow sugar absorption.
