• #1183 The 10 Carnivore Mistakes Sabotaging Your Thyroid, Gut, and Metabolism — and How to Fix Them for Good With Ben Azadi

  In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down the 10 critical carnivore mistakes that keep people inflamed, tired, constipated, and stuck. After coaching more than 10,000 people through carnivore resets, Ben reveals why carnivore works beautifully for 30 to 90 days — but backfires when done incorrectly. You’ll learn: • Why long-term carnivore can lower thyroid function, reduce microbial diversity, raise stress hormones, and stall progress.• The proper metabolic preparation before starting carnivore (low carb → keto → carnivore).• The hidden inflammation caused by pasteurized dairy — and why goat, sheep, and raw A2 dairy are superior.• Exactly how to break carnivore without wrecking your gut, including the 72-hour reintroduction rule.• The difference between clean animal fats and inflammatory PUFA-heavy meats.• How to hit the right protein target to avoid muscle loss and metabolic slowdown.• The importance of nose-to-tail nutrition and where to source clean meats.• Why electrolytes are non-negotiable and the signs you’re depleted.• How stress, sleep, and cortisol determine whether carnivore works at all.• The reminder that carnivore is a tool — not the whole toolbox. Ben also answers listener questions about constipation, duration of carnivore, and why a minority of people truly thrive long-term. 🔥FREE GUIDE: Lose 10 Pounds in 7 Days - https://bit.ly/3KJEqAi  👉Magnesium: https://amzn.to/3Ux3AmY  👉Potassium:  👉Electrolytes: http://www.ketokampsalt.com  use code AZADI  👉Wild Pastures: http://benazadi.com/meat 👉Paleo Organ Meat Complex: https://paleovalley.com/store?pc=pvpartners&oid=25&affid=68  📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today http://www.metabolicfreedombook.com  ($997 Retail Value For FREE) 🔎 Find All Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals

• #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.

• #1181 The One Supplement Proven to Lower Inflammation, Burn Visceral Fat, and Rebuild Lean Muscle at Any Age — Backed by 30 Years of Human Research With Ben Azadi

  In this episode, Ben reveals the most researched, safest, and most effective supplement for lowering inflammation, shrinking visceral fat, boosting strength, and upgrading brain energy — and it isn’t a fat burner. It’s creatine monohydrate… but only the right kind. Ben breaks down how creatine protects your mitochondria, reduces inflammatory markers, increases lean muscle at any age, and improves memory, mood, and cognitive performance. You’ll learn why most store-bought creatine is contaminated or underdosed, what to look for instead, and why creatine deficiency — not aging — may be behind low energy, stiffness, and stubborn fat. He also shares his exact dosing protocol, travel hack for jet lag, how to take it without breaking a fast, and answers listener questions about timing, sleep, and supplement stacking.

• #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.
