Ben Azadi: Why 93% of Americans Are Aging Too Fast + What to Do About It

What if accelerated skin aging wasn’t about skincare at all, but about your metabolism?

In this episode, we’re joined by Ben Azadi, functional health coach, founder of Keto Kamp, and author of Metabolic Freedom. We unpack the link between metabolic flexibility and youthful skin, why being “stuck” as a sugar burner accelerates aging, and how insulin resistance silently damages your collagen, nitric oxide levels, and mitochondrial health, long before it shows up in labs.

You’ll also learn how skin tags reveal insulin issues, why seed oils might be worse than cigarettes, and what AGEs (advanced glycation end products) are doing to your glow. We break down the skin effects of glucose spikes, how autophagy rejuvenates the skin from within, and why fasting might be more effective than most beauty products.

Ben Azadi is a functional health coach, founder of Keto Kamp, and author of Metabolic Freedom and Keto Flex. He lost 80 pounds in 2008 and now helps millions optimize their metabolism through keto, fasting, and root-cause healing. Ben also hosts the Metabolic Freedom Podcast and has a global following across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
