Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi
Progressive Overload - Your Mom at 60
At the age of 60 years old, you started to work with your mother. She had osteopenia and was pre osteoporosis in a couple different areas. Now she's almost at the three year mark of being carnivore. Her skeletal muscle mass is about 15% higher than the average.
Today, I am blessed to have here with me Bronson Dant. He has been coaching and training people in health and fitness for almost 10 years. He started CrossFit around his 40th birthday and quickly fell in love with the variety, community, coaching, and results. It didn’t take long for him to realize that learning more about fitness and becoming a coach was the next path his life was taking.
Bronson opened his own CrossFit gym in 2014. As a gym owner, helping people with their overall health and fitness, Bronson developed several programs to improve his client's quality of life and physical freedom consistently and sustainably.
In 2018 Bronson discovered the secret to extreme optimization of his metabolic health and performance. Since then, he has designed specific methods to use both nutrition and fitness to radically improve the lives of hundreds of people all over the world.
Bronson has numerous certifications and extensive training in health and fitness. He is a frequent guest and subject matter expert on health and fitness podcasts and YouTube channels. He is also a prolific speaker and presenter at health conventions all over the US.

Then, Bronson explains how much protein you should be eating and why it’s an essential element to increasing lean muscle mass.

[00:45] How One Photo Changed Bronson’s Life Forever
- At 37, Bronson’s daughter took a photo of him at the beach.
- Bronson saw his gut hanging out and man boobs; it wasn’t how he pictured himself.
- At that point, Bronson started to question what he was doing.
- Eventually, Bronson realized that if you aren’t moving forward, you are moving backward.
[05:30] How Bronson Started To Change His Lifestyle
- First, Bronson stopped eating french fries.
- He was eating three to four servings of french fries a day.
- It took a year for Bronson to stop thinking about fries.
- Plus, Bronson would eat out all of the time. So, he needed to change that habit.
[14:30] How To Let Go of Something To Grow and Improve
- You have to live within who you think you are.
- If you don’t like where you’re at, you need to change your reality.
- Make the changes you need to be in the reality you dream about.
- Overall, you have to let something go in order to move forward.
[16:40] Eat More Protein and Build Lean Muscle Mass
- Bronson recommends reading Keto by Maria Emmerich. Keto: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MYRTGT5/benazadi-20
- Protein works completely differently in the body than fat and carbs.
- There’s a difference between functional calories and fuel calories.
- Protein will build, whereas carbs and fat will be fuel.
- Also, Bronson says to check out The P:E Diet: https://pedietbook.com/
- You don’t want to have your protein lower than your fuel.
- Take your lean mass, turn it into grams, and that’s how much protein you want as a minimum, and that’s the maximum that you should have for fat and carbs combined.
[21:50] The Difference Between Animal-Based Protein and Plant-Based Protein
- Animal-based protein is bioavailable; your body needs to be able to use that protein.
- If you get protein from plants, your body has to do extra work.
- For example, if you’re getting most of your nutrients from plants, then you need more vitamin C because you’re not getting as much collagen.
- There’s a bunch of extra work you need to do when you’re getting protein from plants.
[28:40] Why Bronson Is A Huge Fan of Living a Carnivore Lifestyle
- Bronson follows a carnivore diet, but he has butter and eggs.
- He eats about eight eggs a day.
- Bronson loves cheese, but it doesn’t love him back.
- Before Bronson started his health journey, he was lactose intolerant.
- However, he can now have dairy with no gastric distress.
- Right now, he eats a lot of lamb, sausage, and eggs.
[36:15] Bronson Gives Tips For Increasing Your Muscle Mass
- First, you need to realize that it doesn’t take a lot.
- All it takes is increasing your current load.
- You need to help your body manage external stress.
- Nutrition and exercise are 50/50.
- You can eat perfectly, but if you aren’t using your body, you can’t handle anything externally.
- The more you can improve your body, the more you will keep progressing.
[43:40] Here’s The Marker You Want For Your Skeletal Muscle Mass
- 45% skeletal muscle mass is what men should have.
- 40% skeletal muscle mass for women.
- You need a body composition scan.
- Bronson weighs 185 and has a muscle mass of 93 pounds which is 51%.
- Instead of focusing on weight loss, focus on building muscle mass.
- You don’t lose weight to get healthy. Instead, you get healthy to lose weight.
