#1012 5 SHOCKING Reasons You’re Not Burning Belly Fat (And What Doctors Miss) with Ben Azadi

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Nat Niddam. She is a self-proclaimed science geek with a passion for human health. Nat is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, an Epigenetic Coach and a member of the first graduating class of the Human Potential Training Institute. In her teens, she fought with ongoing health and digestive issues. She learned many years later to tap into her body’s own healing and repair mechanisms and now wants to share her knowledge to help others take control of their health.  Nat’s unique method blends an array of human performance fields like neuroscience, personalized nutrition, nutraceuticals, biohacking, ancestral health and resilience training. She works with clients one-on-one and in small groups to tap into each person’s unique genetic code to personalize supplementation, nutrition and lifestyle in order to deliver results that last for a lifetime.  When Nat came across Peptides and Bioregulators her focus narrowed and she leaned into learning all that she could about these incredible compounds that can trigger the body’s healing mechanisms and even reverse Biological Age!  She now educates her clients as well her large and growing community on the podcast and the Optimizing Superhuman Performance Facebook Community on these powerful signalling molecules and how they may apply to their own journey. Nat is also the host of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast featuring cutting edge guests in the field of Longevity, Health Optimization and, of course, Biohacking.  In this episode, Nat embarks on a peptide journey, unraveling the legacy of these molecules embraced by bodybuilders for decades. Nat's insights offer a witty yet profound guide through the intricate world of peptides, blending history with contemporary health considerations. She explains the best ways to utilize peptides and covers various types. Plus, we dive into the FDA regulations and how this can impact their usage, especially those with autoimmune disorders. Tune in as we chat about unlocking the fountain of youth, the impact of organ meats, and the importance of finding quality sources. Free Detox Masterclass.

Some individuals claim to have been using peptides for decades. -       Nat provides a definition of peptides as small proteins consisting of 50 amino acids or fewer. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and peptides play a role in various biological processes. -       There is a subset of peptides called bioregulator peptides, which are extremely small (2 to 4 amino acids). These peptides have the unique ability to cross cellular membranes and reach the nucleus of the cell. -        Nat expresses frustration with the nomenclature of peptides, highlighting that the names can be confusing and challenging to navigate. [29:15] Peptide Wisdom: Exploring Efficient Delivery, Potency, and Regulatory Changes -       Nat suggests that the most efficient way to take peptides is through subcutaneous injection, similar to insulin injections used by diabetics. This method involves injecting the peptide into the layer of fat just beneath the skin using a small insulin needle. -       Nat shares a personal experience with using oxytocin as a peptide, highlighting the remarkable and powerful effects even with small amounts. She describes feeling physiological responses such as flushing, pressure in the ears, and a unique sensation in the head within a minute of application. -       Nat emphasizes the importance of respect and caution when using peptides, as they are endogenous to the human body and carry significant potency. -       Plus, Nat discusses the evolving landscape of peptides and mentions recent FDA regulations. [41:00] Optimizing Peptide Effectiveness -       Nat uses the analogy of peptides being like work crews coming in to do the work in a house. However, for the peptides to be effective, the environment needs to be conducive, and the analogy emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying issues before expecting optimal results. -       She highlights the tendency of people to focus on adding solutions without considering the need to remove obstacles first. Nat stresses the importance of clearing the terrain and addressing existing issues, infections, or distractions that may hinder the effectiveness of peptides. -       Nat discusses recent FDA regulations affecting the availability of certain peptides. -       She mentions the potential challenges faced by people with autoimmune conditions or specific infections who rely on these peptides for positive health impacts. [45:30] Mastering Peptide Balance -       Nat explains the difference between taking exogenous growth hormone (which requires a prescription and may lead to a negative feedback loop) and using growth hormone secretagogues. The latter class of peptides signals the brain to produce and release more of the body's own growth hormone without the same risk of shutting down natural production. -       The concern with peptides, particularly growth hormone secretagogues, is the potential for receptors to become numb or involute. -       Nat emphasizes the importance of cycling peptides, taking breaks, and not overdoing them. By doing so, individuals can avoid the negative feedback loop and maintain the effectiveness of the peptides. -       Nat emphasizes the need for smart and informed use of peptides, with a focus on avoiding potential issues such as receptor numbness and negative feedback loops. [47:50] Unlocking the Fountain of Youth: Bioregulator Peptides for Age Reversal -       Nat introduces the concept of bioregulator peptides, emphasizing their role in age reversal and geroprotection. -       These peptides are designed to promote healthy aging and may have anti-tumor properties, contributing to the prevention of diseases associated with aging. -       Nat mentions epitalon, a bioregulator peptide derived from the pineal gland, which is believed to have anti-tumor properties. -       Plus, Nat discusses GHK copper peptide, a unique peptide with only three amino acids. -       GHK copper activates over 4,000 genes and is known for its wide range of applications. It has notable benefits for the skin, such as upregulating collagen and elastin production, reducing scarring, and aiding in wound healing. [52:00] The Power of Bioregulators Sourced from Animal Organs and the Ancestral Tradition of Optimal Organ Nutrition -       Nat explains that bioregulators when used as supplements or injections, are sourced from the organs of animals. This leads to the insight that consuming organ meats can be a way to provide the body with the specific nutrients and compounds needed for optimal organ function. -       Nat highlights the ancestral wisdom of matching organ consumption with specific health needs. -       If someone has a heart problem, consuming heart meat may be beneficial. This aligns with traditional practices in ancestral societies where individuals ate various parts of animals to address specific health concerns. -       Nat emphasizes that in ancestral societies, organ meats were highly valued and considered the best parts of the animal. While muscle meat was consumed if nothing else was available, organs like the heart, liver, and bone marrow were seen as essential and beneficial for overall health. AND MUCH MORE!

She empowers clients to be the boss of their health. Jenn struggled with seasonal allergies, losing and maintaining weight, hormone problems, and major energy dips after graduating from college. Over time, she learned to reclaim her power and achieve her perfect health, and as a result, Jenn has acquired a strong desire to assist others in doing the same. In this episode, Jenn speaks about her journey in the pursuit of health and her passion for helping others do the same. Listen in as Jenn talks about her health challenges, skin cancer, environmental toxicity, and fitness and health.  Free Gift: Toxins Checklist: https://gn180.isrefer.com/go/toxinschecklist/benazadi/ / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Biotiquest Sugar Shift product.

She realized she had been struggling with health issues as she went through college and continued to experience more. Eventually, she was also diagnosed with skin cancer.     Through her recovery journey, she found her passion for being a personal trainer.     The sun is not the cause of skin cancer. Instead, it is what is happening underneath the skin. [04:50] When Nothing Seems to Work, Think Mold!     Jenn discussed how her family was residing around the Northern California farm fields where substantial power lines and other aspects that possibly have radiation affected her health.     After about two years of being healthy and feeling great, Jenn's health started deteriorating again due to her mold exposure.     If pets have similar symptoms of mold exposure, such as weight loss, it signifies unhealthy environmental changes.      Mold exposure causes estrogen elevations, resulting in weight gain, breast tenderness, and acne.     Exercise alone will not get you well in this day and age. [26:26] The Body’s Reaction to Stress     When your body is experiencing a load of stress, you have to redefine what stress is.     Hormesis is staying in this hormetic feeling, and a slight stress you adapt to is excellent. But the body will not adjust to a strenuous workout if your stress bucket is filled with different kinds of stress.     Devices such as oura rings are great tools for creating consciousness and awareness of what is happening to our bodies.  [37:25] The Root Cause of Acid Reflux & How to Get Rid of It!     The most common correlation with acid reflux is an H. pylori bacteria overgrowth.     Another common correlation with acid reflux is eating inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy or grains.     People with a stressful lifestyle tend to have H. pylori bacteria.     Keratin's purpose is to capture this oxygen free radical and protect against oxidative damage so the leaf is not destroyed. [43:51] What is the Most Accurate Test for H. pylori?     As there are different lifestyles, there are also corresponding tests for testing H. pylori, such as stool samples and GI map tests.     Most Vitamin Es are 95% Tocopherol, and 5% will be Tocotrienols. [47:12] The Best Tips For Supporting Liver Health     The liver helps to filter things out from getting into the gut, such as toxins and other stuff.     Since World War II, over 150,000 toxins have been introduced into our environment. Research shows us that our body encounters two pounds of toxins daily.     Because humans live longer lifespans than animals and organisms, the evolution of changes in the body takes longer.     Eat organic, minimize toxic exposure from food, manage skincare products, and keep environmental surroundings clean.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Devon & Peter. Devon is Peter’s brother-in-law. Devon is a healthcare scientist and engineer, and Peter is a food and beverage entrepreneur. Together, they created Kenetik, a healthy ketone energy drink free of sugar and caffeine, with a real fruit flavor.  Devon and Peter have known each other since their teenage years. They are hardworking, entrepreneurial, and very conscious of health and wellness. Additionally, they both have families to take care of. Dealing with their busy life, they think about how they can be efficient and excel in their work simultaneously.  This is where they discover ketones, an unknown source of energy. They start experimenting and researching ketones. The problem is they found out that ketones in the market are expensive, taste bad, and are ineffective. From there, they began to initiate their study, find sources, get ingredients, and finally create their product called Ketenik, a high-quality exogenous ketone.  In this episode, Devon and Peter talk about what exogenous ketones are and their benefits, and how drinking ketones boost your brain power. Devon and Peter discuss the different types of ketones and the difference between their products of other companies. Devon and Peter dive in about the help of ketones in dealing with radiation. Tune in as we chat about the exogenous ketones, the boost it brings to our body, their pros and cons, and the best time to drink Ketenik.

[29:36] The best time to use the kenetik exogenous ketone drinks -       Normally, morning is the best time to drink kenetik. -       Ketones can be used before a workout to have energy without elevating the heart rate.   -       When you must keep going at night, Ketenik energy can be drunk instead of coffee. -       Drinking Ketenik can satiate hunger when fasting. -       There is a study that shows you won't become intoxicated if you drink Ketenik first. [37:48] How Do Ketones Protect Us from Radiation and Magnetic Fields? -       A study shows 60% reduction in chromosomal injury after exposure to gamma radiation when supplemented with ketones. -       Consuming Ketones will help people with the APOE4 gene since they do not metabolize glucose but do metabolize ketones. -       People with Alzheimer's can still use ketones for energy for their brains. [42:32] Using Ketones to Increase BHB and Handle Reactive Hypoglycemia -       Increasing 0.8 Beta-hydroxybutyrate with 10 grams of Keteniks takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and it’ll be above 2.0. -        It will depend on a person's body size and other factors. -        It is interesting to see the result of using exogenous ketones to shift faster out of reactive hypoglycemia.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. John Demartini. He is a polymath and a world-renowned human behavior expert. Students have described his work as the "most comprehensive body of work” and "an extensive library of wisdom.” Dr. John Demartini's mission and vision is to share knowledge and wisdom that empowers you to become a master of your own life and destiny. He's an internationally published author, a global educator, and the founder of the Demartini Method, a revolutionary tool in modern psychology. His education curriculum ranges from personal growth seminars to corporate empowerment programs. His teachings synthesize knowledge and wisdom from the greatest minds through history, and his curriculum is designed to help you empower and inspire all seven areas of your life. In this episode, Dr. Demartini joins the show to talk about how symptoms are your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. When you have a symptom, your body tries to guide you on moderating your behavior and living wisely. Tough conversations can even lead to symptoms; for instance, your sympathetic nervous system activates during a problematic confrontation, and blood sugar increases. Tune in as we chat about why judging people harms your health and how the right job can be great for your cardiovascular system.

Instead, you should eat to perform at your peak.  You won’t have symptoms out of the blue when you eat moderately quality foods. You can always trace your symptoms to a reason.  Sadly, we have overlooked what the body’s wisdom is.  The Wisdom of The Body: https://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Body-Walter-B-Cannon/dp/0393002055/benazadi-20 [08:55] How The Sympathetic Nervous System Can Increase Blood Sugar Doctors are notorious for asking diabetes patients not to eat sugar and gain weight. However, these patients don’t often want to be told what to do.  During these tough conversations, when someone has their sympathetic nervous system activated their blood sugar increases.  Sadly, we don’t give people their accountability back to change their health.  You can get a biochemical imbalance because you store up psychological issues that keep affecting hormones and transmitters.  [28:50] You Can Take Control of Your Own Recovery and Your Own Life  Take command of your life. Find alternatives to your health problems. There is no reason to exclude a health alternative.  Love, Medicine and Miracles: Lessons Learned about Self-Healing from a Surgeon's Experience with Exceptional Patients: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Medicine-Miracles-Self-Healing-Exceptional/dp/0060919833/benazadi-20 Overall, patients can participate in their own recovery.  [44:25] The Right Job Is Good For Your Health and Cardiovascular Risk Most people have the Monday morning blues.  Sadly, many people are not inspired by their work. If you have an imbalance in cytokines, your immune system responds. You will have serious problems if your sympathetic and parasympathetic are out of balance.  When someone is inspired by their work, their heart rate variability increases, their cytokines are normal, their blood pressure is down, and they don’t have any cardiovascular risk.  [50:40] Why Judging Other People Is Harmful To Your Health  When you look up to people, you minimize yourself, and your parasympathetic system dominates.  When you look down on people and resent them, you exaggerate yourself, and your sympathetic system dominates.  Whenever you judge, you feel empty.  Instead, we want to feel fulfilled; love fulfills.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Steve Hendricks. He is a freelance reporter and author of, among other books, The Unquiet Grave: The FBI and the Struggle for the Soul of Indian Country, which made several best-of-the-year lists. He has written for Harper’s, Outside, Slate, and the Washington Post. He lives in Boulder, Colorado, with his wife, a professor of family law, and his dog, a border collie cross. In this episode, Steve speaks about the inspiration behind his book: The Oldest Cure In The World. He dives into everything fasting and all the long-term health benefits of this ancient practice. Steve explains the history of fasting and why it’s having such a dynamic resurgence. Even with the same calorie intake, the person who practices fasting will have better benefits than the person who eats throughout the day. Tune in as we chat about fasting during chemotherapy, why you shouldn’t skip breakfast, and the potential side effects of extended fasting.  Purchase Steve’s latest book, The Oldest Cure In The World: https://amzn.to/3eV7C7h 💻 Register for our FREE upcoming 5 day keto challenge with Dr Eric Berg, Cynthia Thurlow, Ben Azadi & The Keto Kamp Team : http://www.ketokampchallenge.com Message me on Instagram www.instagram.com/thebenazadi with the word ENERGY to learn more about coaching from me. / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

[02:00] Steve’s Inspiration Behind Writing His Book: The Oldest Cure In The World Steve wrote two books about politics, then he wrote a book about fasting. He started fasting in his 30s; Steve is now 52. Steve loves fasting because it is an excellent weight loss and longevity tool.  Fasting has long-term health benefits, and you don’t feel hungry when fasting. When you burn fat, ketones will suppress your hunger hormones.  Get The Oldest Cure In The World: https://amzn.to/3eV7C7h [06:35] The Difference Between Cutting Calories Without Fasting vs. Cutting Calories With Fasting A 16-hour eating window is unhealthy no matter how many calories you are eating. When we narrow our feeding window, we can start to get real benefits and repairs. Our body is a self-healing machine; we have damage that our body always fixes.  When we give our bodies a break from digestion, then our bodies can increase the repairs of damaged cells. Remember, your body doesn’t start to ramp up repairs until six hours after your last meal. [11:30] Fasting Around The World: The Religious and Spiritual History of Fasting  Fasting existed in virtually every single culture.  3,000 years ago, fasting wasn’t for health. Instead, fasting was to appease the gods.  Fasting is excellent for physiological changes that put you in a more meditative state. An ancient physiologist said that for epilepsy, you should fast and exercise. Two thousand years later, we learned that fasting could cure childhood epilepsy.  Sadly, the medicine of fasting was washed out until the last 400 years.  Now, we know that fasting is a super powerful tool for health.  [24:40] The Reason You Need To Stop Skipping Breakfast Most people who practice daily fasting skip breakfast and eat at noon for the first time. However, our bodies do not want to process nutrients throughout the evening.  Our circadian rhythms have hardwired us to process food more efficiently earlier in the day.  In the later afternoon, we become much less efficient at processing food. By nighttime, we are terrible at processing food.  [37:10] What You Need To Know About Fasting and Cancer  When you fast, your cells reject external inputs.  During a fast, your healthy cells are protecting themselves.  Fasting during chemo treatment results in less nausea, less vomiting, fewer headaches, and less fatigue.  You can increase the dose of chemotherapy when the patient can tolerate it better.  Overall, you can give more chemo, kill cancer, and hurt the patient less during a fast.  [42:20] What Can Fasting Do For High Blood Pressure?  The American Heart Association says that high blood pressure cannot be cured. However, studies show that prolonged water fasting can reverse high blood pressure. In 10 days of water fasting, 80% of high blood pressure patients can achieve normal blood pressure and get off their medications.  People with the worst blood pressure had the best outcomes from water fasting.  [47:35] Productivity or Lack of Energy: Potential Side Effects During A Longer Fast  Many people find difficulty with long fasts when they are unhealthy. Fasting can result in skin rashes, nausea, headaches, and fatigue.  During a fast, you can become more contemplative or more productive.  Overall, there are many good and bad side effects that happen. During a prolonged fast, Steve would feel excellent and thoughtful. On other days, Steve would have no energy. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Tero Isokauppila. Tero is the founder of Four Sigmatic, a nature-centric Finnish-American company specializing in functional mushrooms, superfoods, and adaptogens. Born in Finland to an agronomist father and nursing teacher mother, Tero was the 13th generation to grow up on the Isokauppila farm. There, he foraged for mushrooms and other wild foods while learning about nature at an early age. In this, he frequently channeled his middle name Tapio, the Finnish god of forests, animals, and mystics. Following his early education on the farm, Tero later completed a Degree in Chemistry and a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University. In 2006, he won a Finnish innovation award for discovering that the sought-after Japanese culinary matsutake mushrooms also grow in Finland. In 2012, he left a corporate position to start Four Sigmatic. Tero is a reputable source on superfoods, an expert on natural health, and has been a featured speaker, for example, at Summit Series, Wanderlust, Further Future, Culinary Nutrition Conference, and WME-IMG. In this episode, Tero Isokauppila speaks about how adaptogenic mushrooms improve human performance. Depending on your health goals, Tero breaks down how long you may need to try adaptogenic mushrooms to reap the health benefits. Whether you like it or not, we are all consuming fungi in some form or another. Tero reveals the best way to introduce plants into your diet, especially if you have gut issues. Tune in as we chat about the benefits of mushrooms on our sleep, mood, and stress levels.  Get Tero’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Tero-Isokauppila/e/B075FWW236/benazadi-20 Purchase Four Sigmatic here: https://foursigmatic.sjv.io/yRN663 💻 Register for our FREE upcoming 5 day keto challenge with Dr Eric Berg, Cynthia Thurlow, Ben Azadi & The Keto Kamp Team : http://www.ketokampchallenge.com / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

[11:40] How Long Will It Take To Reap Benefits From Adaptogenic Mushrooms?  How long do you need to use something to reap benefits?  Usually, people will say thirty days or something along those lines. In reality, it depends on the desired benefits in your body.  If you have gut and autoimmune issues, you may be on a journey for a few years. You cannot heal gut issues within a month.  Skin will heal itself in about thirty days.  Energy production is instantaneous - if you want to increase energy, that can be done quickly.  [15:50] What To Know About The Effects of Theobromine and Magnesium  Theobromine is one of the main compounds in real chocolate or cacao. Theobromine is a sister compound to caffeine.  Magnesium is one of the minerals that are critical for our body function. Many people think of supplements and diet as upper and downers; however, many things can be both simultaneously. For instance, green tea can have caffeine and a calming effect.  Theobromine and magnesium are great for balanced energy and balanced performance.  [18:35] Whether You Like It Or Not, You Are Consuming Fungi In Some Form There is no world where you’re not consuming fungi. Fungi is on your skin and your gut. Plus, you are breathing in fungi.  Whether you want it or not, you will have fungi in your gut.  When you want to reap the health benefits of fungi, you first need to fix your gut. Carnivore is a great launch point.  Your gut is severely disrupted if you have indigestion and acid reflux. However, you shouldn’t run away from plants and compounds. [26:05] How To Do An Elimination and Reintroduction Diet With Plants  Eliminating and reintroducing one plant at a time will help determine how your body responds to the plant.  Once you get better at recognizing your body, you also start to spot symptoms when they're subtle. Intuitive eating is a great way to see how your body responds to plants.  When introducing a plant, consume it on an empty stomach to see how you respond.  [32:30] Will Mushrooms and Coffee Break Your Fast?  If you want to do a pure fast, you’re giving your liver a complete break. If that’s the case, you shouldn’t consume mushrooms.  If you’re still processing coffee and green tea, mushrooms wouldn’t break your fast. Mushrooms won’t spike your insulin if you’re just doing a water fast, but it’s technically breaking your fast since it is not water.  Mushrooms are one more thing that your body must digest even though it doesn’t contain calories. [41:00] The Best Mushrooms For Deeper Sleep and Improved Mood  Mushrooms and adaptogens will impact the mind. If you’re in a good mood, you will sleep better. Reishi mushrooms are great for sleep. Another mushroom that is famous for improving sleep is ashwagandha.  Many adaptogens will improve your stress levels. When you’re stress levels are improved, your sleep will improve. If you want deeper sleep, reisihi and ashwagandha will help you immensely.  [48:55] Chaga For Longevity: An Anti-Aging Powerhouse  A healthy body is likelier to live a long time.  Avoiding illness will help protect your body in the long run. Chaga mushrooms tend to be great for longevity.  Chaga is an adaptogenic fungus with very high amounts of superoxide dismutase.  AND MUCH MORE!
