The Ben Azadi Show

Ben Azadi

Your body isn't broken. It's blocked.
Twenty years ago Ben Azadi was obese, exhausted, and convinced something was permanently wrong with him. Nothing was. His cells weren't getting the signal. Once they did, everything changed — and it's stayed changed for two decades.

Ben is a 2x New York Times bestselling author (Metabolic Freedom, Keto Flex), international keynote speaker, and a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. But here's what he's learned after two decades and thousands of transformations: knowing what to do isn't what changes your life. Becoming the person who actually does it — that's what changes your life.

That's what this show is built for. Three episodes a week, each with a job:

Metabolic Monday — Conversations with world-renowned doctors, researchers, and health experts on the latest breakthroughs in metabolic health and longevity. Fasting, insulin resistance, stubborn belly fat, hormones, mitochondria, blood sugar, gut health, ketosis, carnivore, and biohacking — translated into something you can actually run this week.

Transformation Tuesday — The mindset, habits, and daily practices behind following through. Paradigms, self-image, identity, and the inner work that makes results permanent instead of temporary.

Freedom Friday — Real conversations about freedom in every area of life. Not just metabolic freedom, but freedom with your time, your purpose, your energy, and the way you show up in the world.

If you're over 40 and doing everything right while the scale won't move — start here.

Ben's mission is to educate one billion people. You're one of them.

New episodes every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.

It’s Not Too Late: Stop Waiting for Perfect and Start Changing Your Life | #1378
How many times have you told yourself, “I’ll start Monday”? Ben Azadi challenges the idea that you need the perfect plan, the perfect timing, or the perfect version of yourself before you can make a change. In this episode, he breaks down why waiting to feel ready can keep you stuck and why imperfect action is often the fastest path forward. Using the story of two ship captains, Ben explains the difference between planning endlessly and actually moving. The captain who starts imperfectly can see when he’s off course and make adjustments along the way. The lesson is simple: you can’t course-correct a ship that never leaves the harbor. Ben also explores the “what the hell effect” and how one setback can turn into an entire week, month, or even years of abandoning your goals. The setback itself may be small. It’s the story you tell yourself afterward that creates the real damage. Instead of waiting until Monday, Ben encourages you to start right now, focus on one or two changes at a time, stop protecting fragile streaks, and count your comebacks instead. Because it’s not about the setback. It’s about the get back. 🎧 Listen or watch the full episode: It’s Not Too Late: Stop Waiting for Perfect and Start Changing Your Life | #1378 📚 GET BEN'S BOOKS: **Metabolic Freedom: ⁠⁠Metabolic Freedom⁠⁠ Keto Flex: ⁠⁠Ben Azadi introduces the revised edition of Keto Flex⁠⁠ FOLLOW BEN AZADI Instagram: ⁠⁠Ben Azadi (@thebenazadi) • Instagram profile⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠Ben Azadi, FDN-P⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠Ben Azadi - Metabolic Freedom on TikTok⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/benazadi⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KetoKamp Website: ⁠⁠Home - Ben Azadi⁠⁠

The Life-Changing Power of Walking: Live Longer, Feel Healthier & Be Happier | #1377
Walking might be one of the most underrated tools for improving your health, longevity, and quality of life. In this episode of The Ben Azadi Show, Ben breaks down why walking is far more powerful than most people give it credit for, from supporting metabolic health and fitness to helping maintain independence as we age. He also shares six simple ways to make walking a bigger part of your daily routine, including walking after meals, trying Japanese walking intervals, adding resistance, getting outside early in the day, moving throughout the day instead of obsessing over 10,000 steps, and occasionally walking without headphones. You don't need a complicated workout or expensive equipment to start moving more. Sometimes, the simplest habits can have the biggest impact. 🎧 Listen or watch the full episode: The Life-Changing Power of Walking: Live Longer, Feel Healthier & Be Happier | #1377 📚 GET BEN'S BOOKS: Metabolic Freedom: ⁠Metabolic Freedom⁠ Keto Flex: ⁠Ben Azadi introduces the revised edition of Keto Flex⁠ FOLLOW BEN AZADI Instagram: ⁠Ben Azadi (@thebenazadi) • Instagram profile⁠ Facebook: ⁠Ben Azadi, FDN-P⁠ TikTok: ⁠Ben Azadi - Metabolic Freedom on TikTok⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/benazadi⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@BenAzadi⁠ Website: ⁠Home - Ben Azadi⁠

95% of Stem Cell Treatments May Not Contain What They Claim | Rafael Gonzalez #1376
What if the stem cell treatment you’re paying thousands of dollars for doesn’t actually contain the viable, functional stem cells you think it does? In this episode of The Ben Azadi Show, Ben sits down with Dr. Rafael Gonzalez, who has spent more than 20 years manufacturing cell therapies, holds patents in the field, and has been involved in FDA clinical trials. Dr. Gonzalez shares a surprising estimate based on the cell samples he has tested: only about 5% may contain viable, functional stem cells. He explains why sourcing the cells is only the beginning. The processing, freezing, thawing, storage, and administration of stem cells can dramatically affect their viability. He also breaks down what can happen when cells die and why proper handling matters when these therapies are administered to patients. The conversation explores what consumers may actually be receiving when they purchase stem cell treatments, the importance of cell viability, and why the science and manufacturing process behind these therapies deserves far more attention. Dr. Gonzalez also explains how his team approaches cell preservation and clinical testing, including why even their own clinical studies typically achieve around 88–89% viability. This episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the science of cell therapy and raises an important question: Do you really know what’s inside the stem cell treatment you’re paying for? 🎧 Listen the full episode: The Hidden Problem With Stem Cell Therapy Nobody Is Talking About | Rafael Gonzalez #1376 GET YOUR TICKETS Get your ticket to hear Ben speak at this year's ISSCA 126 Regenerative Medicine Global Summit here: benazadi.com/events FOLLOW DR.

The 7 Thieves Stealing Your Healthy Years | The Ben Azadi Show #1375
Most people plan for how long they’ll live. Far fewer think about how long they’ll actually be healthy, mobile, sharp, and able to enjoy it. In this episode, Ben Azadi and Alex Montalenti break down the gap between lifespan and healthspan, and reveal how much usable time can disappear into sleep, work, chores, driving, screens, and everyday obligations. They uncover the seven biggest “thieves” stealing your time and explain why retirement shouldn’t be about waiting until later to finally enjoy your life. The goal is to build a life worth continuing to live, while you still have the energy and vitality to enjoy it. This episode is a powerful reminder that time isn’t just something to manage. It’s something to consciously spend.

The 5 Health Signals That Actually Move the Needle in Just 5 Days | #1374
Ben and Alex Montalenti talk about a simpler way to improve your health without getting caught up in complicated routines, endless supplements, or whatever the latest health trend happens to be. They break down five simple signals that can have a real impact: getting natural light in the morning, stopping food three hours before bed, prioritizing protein, taking a 10-minute walk after your biggest meal, and paying attention to the everyday habits that affect how your body is functioning. You don’t need another 22-step routine to improve your health. The focus here is on getting back to the basics and doing a few things consistently. Instead of constantly looking for the next health hack, this episode is about keeping things simple, sticking with the fundamentals, and giving those habits enough time to actually work.

His Dad Died At 60 With Normal Bloodwork - This Doctor Found What The Labs Missed | Dr. Will Cole #1373
What if your biological age doesn't tell the whole story? In this episode, Ben sits down with Dr. Will Cole, leading functional medicine expert and co-author of Heal Your Cells (written with Dr. Josh Axe), to explore why aging may be far more individualized than a single biological-age number suggests. They discuss research showing that different organs can age at different rates, why some cells within the same organ may age unevenly, and how deeper testing could reveal vulnerabilities that standard bloodwork may overlook. Dr. Cole also explains how he approaches functional lab testing, environmental toxins, chronic stress, sleep, nutrition, and other factors that influence how the body ages. He shares what he wishes he had known before losing his father to a cardiovascular event and why looking beyond standard reference ranges can provide a more personalized picture of health. They also break down a promising 12-week pilot study that reported nearly six years of biological-age reversal through a combination of personalized nutrition, botanicals, stress reduction, sleep optimization, and physical activity, while emphasizing why larger randomized controlled trials are still needed. This conversation is ultimately about moving from simply measuring age to understanding how your body is actually aging and where you have the greatest opportunity to intervene. 📚 Heal Your Cells releases September 8.

From 34% To 6% Body Fat: Weight Was Never My Problem | Jesse Chappus #1372
What if losing weight isn't the first step to getting healthy? In this episode, Ben joins Jesse Chappus to challenge the idea that excess weight is the root problem. Ben explains why he sees weight as a symptom of deeper metabolic dysfunction and shares the approach that helped him lose 80 pounds of fat in nine months after years of struggling with obesity. They break down why simply eating less and exercising more can become a frustrating cycle, how inflammation and hormones influence metabolic health, and why focusing on whole foods instead of ultra-processed foods is a powerful place to start. Ben also explains why eliminating constant snacking, building and preserving lean muscle, prioritizing protein, and supporting recovery all play a role in maintaining a healthy metabolism. He shares insights from the landmark 2021 Science study led by Dr. Herman Pontzer, which analyzed more than 6,400 people across 29 countries, including what it revealed about metabolic changes across adulthood and the role of muscle mass later in life. The conversation also explores creatine, protein intake, carbohydrates, insulin, and the importance of looking beyond the number on the scale. The bigger message is simple: don't make weight the only metric you care about. Build metabolic health first, and let the results follow. 📚 Get Ben's books: Metabolic Freedom KetoFlex FOLLOW BEN AZADI Instagram: Ben Azadi (@thebenazadi) • Instagram profile YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KetoKamp Website: Home - Ben Azadi Follow Jesse Chappus: Website: The -[p Chappus Show Podcast: The Jesse Chappus Show, available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessechappusshow/

3x More Cortisol Receptors: Why Stress Puts Fat On Your Belly First | Cynthia Thurlow #1371
What if the reason keto isn't working for you has less to do with the diet itself; and more to do with your liver, your fats, and how well your body adapts to stress? In this episode, Ben chats with nurse practitioner, bestselling author, and host of the Everyday Wellness podcast Cynthia Thurlow to break down why keto fails so many women, and what to do about it. They dive into the two biggest culprits behind keto struggles: a backed-up liver that isn't producing healthy bile, and consuming the wrong types of fats that drive inflammation instead of healing. From simple bile-boosting strategies like bitter foods, apple cider vinegar, and ox bile supplementation to swapping processed seed oils for stable fats like butter, ghee, and beef tallow, Ben and Cynthia cover practical steps that can make a ketogenic approach actually work, especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. They also explore why chronic cortisol activation could be sabotaging your results, how to use heart rate variability and blood glucose testing to know if fasting is helping or hurting you, and why the concept of "keto flexing", intentionally cycling in and out of ketosis with strategic feast days—may be the missing piece for long-term metabolic flexibility. No rigid protocols. No one-size-fits-all approach. Just smarter strategies that meet your body where it is.

I Made a Peptide Expert Rank Every Fat Loss Biohack (S-Tier to F-Tier) | Dylan Gemelli #1370
What if improving your metabolism has less to do with complicated protocols—and more to do with the small choices you make every day? In this episode, Ben chats with health and biohacking expert Dylan Gemelli to dive into some of the fundamentals that matter most: sunlight, gut health, fasting, ketosis, food order, glucose, and movement. From eating protein first, fat second, and carbs last to taking a simple 10-minute walk after a meal, Ben and Dylan discuss practical strategies that can help you better understand and support your metabolism.

I Read the Same 3 Chapters Every Day for 365 Days — Here's What Happened | Ben Azadi #1369
Book Mentioned in This Episode: The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles What happens when you feed your mind the same message every single day for a year? For 365 days, Ben read or listened to the same three chapters from The Science of Getting Rich. Over that year, he watched so many areas of his life change—his relationships, marriage, health, mindset, gratitude, and wealth. Ben doesn’t believe the book magically created those results. It changed the way he thought, and that changed the way he lived. In this episode, Ben breaks down the three chapters, why he read them in that exact order, and how repetition can reshape your mindset, habits, gratitude, relationships, health, and approach to wealth. He also shares the 90-day challenge he wants you to try.

The Hidden Reason You're Aging Faster Than Your Age (It Starts in Your 20s) | Siobhan Mitchell #1364
A lot of people are now feeling "old" symptoms in their 20s and 30s fatigue, brain fog, slower recovery, decades before their parents ever did. What's actually happening inside your cells before you can even feel it? By the time you notice it, your mitochondria have already been quietly losing power for years. In this episode, I sit down with neuroscientist Dr. Siobhan (PhD in Neuroscience, 25 years researching mitochondria) to break down why aging is really happening at the cellular level, and what you can do about it starting today. Why symptoms that used to show up in your 50s, 60s, and 70s are now showing up in your 20s and 30s What's really happening when your mitochondria "stop working as well" — and why that hits your brain and muscles first The real reason you can't train, eat, or bounce back the way you did in your 20s Why mitochondria act like the "CEO" of your cells — controlling everything from energy production to your immune response The surprising truth about mitochondrial DNA: you only inherit it from your mother, and a single egg can carry over 700,000 mitochondria How oxidative stress from your mitochondria drives nearly every hallmark of aging — DNA damage, inflammation, and more The hidden link between dopamine hits (social media, processed food) and accelerated brain aging Why motivation naturally fades as you age — and how it traces directly back to mitochondrial energy production The top 3–5 habits silently destroying your mitochondria (and the ones that protect them) Get Ben's new book Keto Flex here → https://bit.ly/4wKG1sM Remember this: Your mitochondria don't just power your cells — they decide how long, and how well, you actually live.
