    How Your Morning Routine Is Recycling Inflammatory Fat and the Simple Bile-Activating Habit That Flushes It Naturally With Ben Azadi | #1261

    This Daily Habit Flushes Dangerous Fat in Days In this episode, Ben breaks down how your morning routine could be causing you to recycle inflammatory fat instead of eliminating it. Key Highlights: Your liver packages inflammatory fats and toxins into bile every morning. If bile flow is sluggish, those toxins get reabsorbed through a process called enterohepatic circulation. Industrial seed oils and excess omega-6 fats can stay in your fat tissue for up to 680 days. Bile is your fat exit highway. Clear flow equals elimination. Sluggish flow equals recirculation. The 3 Morning Mistakes: Not hydrating first thing, which thickens bile Adding sugar and inflammatory creamers to coffee Drinking moldy, low-quality coffee that stresses the liver The Solution: Clean coffee, when high quality and mold-free, has been shown to: Stimulate gallbladder contraction Increase bile release Improve bowel motility Lower liver enzymes Reduce fatty liver risk Simple Morning Protocol: Hydrate before caffeine Drink clean coffee (black or with healthy fats, no sugar) Allow natural elimination Support bile flow with bitter foods like lemon, arugula, and ginger Ben also shares a free 7-day fat-burning guide to help reset metabolism and reduce visceral fat. Bottom line:Your morning coffee can either trap inflammatory fat or help flush it. Support your liver, stimulate bile flow, and stop recycling what your body is trying to eliminate.

    Visceral Fat Is More Dangerous Than You Think - Why 25 Squats a Day Can Reverse Insulin Resistance, Lower Cortisol, and Protect Your Heart — With Ben Azadi | #1259

    You can be thin, active, and still carry dangerous visceral fat around your organs. Unlike subcutaneous fat you can pinch, visceral fat is hidden deep in the abdomen and strongly linked to heart disease, insulin resistance, fatty liver, and early mortality. More cardio is not always the answer. Visceral fat is hormonally driven and protected by insulin and cortisol. Chronic stress and long-duration cardio can actually increase cortisol, making it harder to lose stubborn belly fat. In this episode, Ben shares a simple strategy: 25 squats twice per day. Squats activate the largest muscle groups in the body, improve insulin sensitivity, and stimulate GLUT-4 transporters to pull glucose out of the bloodstream and into muscles. Lower insulin levels mean less protection for visceral fat. You’ll learn: The difference between subcutaneous and visceral fat Why cortisol promotes abdominal fat storage How muscle contraction sends a fat-burning signal Why resistance training is crucial after age 45 What to expect in the first days and weeks Simple squat modifications for all fitness levels Why stacking nutrition, sleep, and recovery matters The squat is the ignition.The lifestyle stack determines the acceleration. Ben also shares details about his 14-Day Metabolic Reset and a free 7-day drug-free belly fat protocol to help you lower insulin, preserve muscle, and reclaim metabolic control. Remember: You are not trying harder. You are sending the right signal. 🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE - https://bit.ly/4tgoK96  FREE GUIDE: How To Lose 1 Pound Of Fat Per Day HERE - https://bit.ly/4j45Yxa 📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

    Hormone Imbalance Is Not Just Physical – The Nervous System Reset Women Need with Dr. Sonya Jensen | #1258

    What if your hormone imbalance is not just a hormone problem, but a nervous system and emotional overload problem?  In this episode of The Ben Azadi Show, Ben Azadi welcomes back Dr. Sonya Jensen to explore why so many women feel puffy, inflamed, exhausted, and hormonally off even when labs look “normal.” Dr. Jensen connects inflammation, cortisol, progesterone depletion, estrogen dominance, and liver support with the deeper layers most people miss: stress patterns, identity roles, generational stories, and the constant input from news and social media. They also dive into her new book, Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself, plus practical tools like breathwork, red light, seasonal whole foods, and gentle nervous system regulation. Key Topics Covered Why hormone symptoms can reflect emotional and relational overload Nervous system dysregulation, cortisol, adrenaline, and progesterone depletion How chronic stress can create a bigger estrogen to progesterone imbalance Why blood work can look normal while you still feel off Urine hormone metabolite testing and what it can reveal about detox pathways Breathwork for lowering cortisol and shifting into rest at night Red light as a nervous system tool, especially in the evening Liver support for inflammation and hormone clearance (milk thistle, turmeric) Calming herbs: ashwagandha, lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), skullcap, ziziphus Whole foods and seasonal eating, including “the season of life” concept Movement without overtraining, including walking and habit stacking HRV as a helpful metric, plus the importance of listening to your body How doom scrolling impacts dopamine, oxytocin, and your sense of safety Mitochondria, maternal stress patterns, and inherited nervous system wiring Dopamine as motivation and joy, and oxytocin as bonding and connection Resources Mentioned Dr. Sonya Jensen Website: https://www.drsonyajensen.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsonyajensen/?hl=en Book Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself: https://healyourhormonesbook.com Follow Ben Azadi 🌐 Website:⁠ https://www.benazadi.com ⁠ 📸 Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/thebenazadi  ⁠💼 LinkedIn:⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/benazadi ⁠ ▶️ YouTube:⁠ https://www.youtube.com/ketokamp⁠  Find All Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship Deals ⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals Learn more about your ad choices.

    They Knew 600 IU Wasn’t Enough - The Vitamin D Myth Fueling Inflammation, Insulin Resistance, and Immune Dysfunction With Ben Azadi | #1257

    You’re taking 600 IU of vitamin D.Your labs say “normal.”But you could still be deficient. In this episode, Ben reveals why the official vitamin D recommendations were based on preventing rickets, not optimizing immunity, metabolism, muscle, or brain health. Independent researchers reanalyzed the original RDA data and found the required intake for adequacy was dramatically higher — yet the guidelines barely changed. Vitamin D is not just a vitamin. It functions like a steroid hormone and impacts: Immune regulation Inflammation control Insulin sensitivity Muscle protein synthesis Brain function Low vitamin D is strongly associated with insulin resistance, and since 93% of Americans are insulin resistant, this could be a massive blind spot. Ben also explains: Why “normal” lab ranges may still mean deficiency Why optimal levels should be above 60 ng/mL How obesity lowers circulating vitamin D Why magnesium and vitamin K2 are required for proper activation Why toxicity fears are overblown compared to widespread insufficiency You’ll also learn the simple 3-step plan to optimize vitamin D safely: Smart midday sun exposure Intelligent supplementation with D3 + K2 + magnesium Regular testing and cofactor support If you’re over 45, insulin resistant, or struggling with stubborn inflammation, this episode could be a game changer. You don’t have a weak immune system.You may just have an under-supported one.
