What if aging didn’t mean decline, burnout, or stubborn weight gain but a powerful metabolic and neurological upgrade? In this in-studio episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to discuss her brand new book Age Like a Girl and share science backed strategies for women over 40 who want better metabolic health, sustainable fat loss, and hormonal balance.

It is both deeply scientific and profoundly human. If you are feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, frustrated with your body, or ready to embrace the next chapter of your health with clarity and confidence, this episode is a must listen.

#1182 The Hidden Hormone Driving Belly Fat, Stress, and Metabolic Slowdown — And the 30-Day Protocol That Fixes It With Ben Azadi
In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the real reason stubborn belly fat won’t budge — and why calories, harder workouts, and longer fasts aren’t solving the problem.The culprit is cortisol, the stress hormone that tells your body to store fat — especially visceral fat around your organs, the most dangerous kind. Ben breaks down the science doctors rarely explain: how cortisol rhythms, circadian biology, and fat tissue hormone receptors determine where you store fat and how resistant your fat becomes. You’ll discover the 6-step cortisol fix that has helped thousands melt visceral fat naturally: Why fasted running increases belly fat — and what type of morning movement to do instead How to reset the cortisol awakening response with sunlight, delayed caffeine, and screen-free mornings How stress keeps fat cells inflamed — and how breathing, downtime, and “Vitamin G” lower cortisol instantly Why over-fasting backfires — and how protein-focused meals stabilize hormones The strength-training and sprint protocol that builds cortisol-resilient muscle Habits that reduce long-term stress load so your body finally feels safe to burn fat You’ll also get Ben’s 30-Day Cortisol & Belly Fat Reset Plan — the exact week-by-week blueprint he gives his private clients to shrink their waist, lower inflammation, stabilize mood, and reverse metabolic dysfunction. He closes with listener Q&A on testing cortisol, the truth about fasted cardio, alcohol’s impact on fat loss, TOFIs (thin outside, fat inside), and the best ways to track real progress.

#1180 The Hidden Hormone Imbalances Behind Neck and Shoulder Pain That Most Doctors Miss — And How to Fix Them Naturally With Ben Azadi
Most people blame posture for their neck and shoulder pain, but research shows the real root cause is often hormones, not mechanics. In this episode, Ben explains how cortisol, thyroid hormones, sex hormones, insulin, and even growth hormone can lock your muscles into chronic tension and why most doctors miss these connections. You’ll learn how stress hormones alter pain pathways, increase inflammation, and create tight traps, stiff necks, and burning shoulders. Ben breaks down a simple daily Cortisol Calm Protocol using breathwork, post-meal walking, a no-stimulation hour, and gratitude to quickly shift your body out of fight-or-flight. He then exposes the deep link between an underactive thyroid and muscle aches, frozen shoulder, fatigue, and chronic stiffness — plus which full thyroid panel to request from your doctor (not just TSH). Next, he explains why women 40–60 experience sharp increases in joint pain during perimenopause and menopause due to changes in estrogen that affect lubrication, cartilage, strength, and inflammation. You’ll also hear why people with insulin resistance or diabetes are five times more likely to develop frozen shoulder. High insulin creates stiff connective tissue and slows healing. Ben gives practical metabolic strategies: lower carbs, test fasting insulin, walk after meals, strength train, and use intermittent fasting. The episode closes with the overlooked role of deep sleep and growth hormone in tissue repair. Poor sleep dramatically reduces recovery, while fasting and strength training boost growth hormone naturally.
