#1197 The 1 Science-Backed Insulin Reset That Instantly Kills Cravings and Unlocks Rapid Fat Loss With Ben Azadi
In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals why cravings are not a willpower issue, but a hormonal and metabolic problem driven by insulin instability. Ben explains how insulin spikes shut off fat burning, trigger hunger hormones, increase stress, and fuel uncontrollable cravings, especially at night. He breaks down the science behind insulin, glucose crashes, ghrelin, cortisol, and dopamine-driven eating behaviors. You’ll learn a simple, science-backed protocol to stabilize insulin first, before calorie restriction, cardio, or fasting, so cravings drop naturally and fat loss becomes automatic. The episode outlines a practical 7-day reset that helps reduce inflammation, water retention, and stubborn belly fat while restoring metabolic control. Ben also answers common questions about carbs, coffee, artificial sweeteners, protein intake, exercise, fasting, and how to make results sustainable long term. This conversation reframes fat loss as a metabolic healing process, not a discipline battle, and shows how true metabolic freedom feels calm, empowering, and sustainable.

#1190 This Is Your Wake-Up Call: The Identity Shift You Must Make to Fix Your Metabolism, Reclaim Your Health, and Stop Aging Into Disease With Ben Azadi
This episode is a powerful wake-up call about health, metabolism, and personal responsibility. Ben Azadi explains that true transformation does not start with diet plans or workout routines, but with identity and decision. Most people are stuck not because they lack information, but because their self-image is broken. Symptoms like belly fat, fatigue, brain fog, cravings, inflammation, and poor sleep are not signs of aging. They are metabolic warning signals asking for change. Ben shares his personal story of pain, depression, and healing, reminding listeners that motivation does not create change. A committed decision does. The episode walks through five life-changing questions that help reprogram identity, followed by a simple wake-up protocol focused on daily non-negotiables, future visualization, and upgrading your environment. This message challenges listeners to stop “trying,” take responsibility, and make today Day One, not someday.
