Walking in the Morning on an Empty Stomach

Ben Azadi is a best selling author of the book ‘Keto Flex’, podcast host of the show ‘The Keto Kamp Podcast’, and founder of Keto Kamp. Across all of his efforts, Ben has the goal of making 1 billion people metabolically healthy. His health journey started as a 24 year old struggling to find direction in life. After a devastating break up, Ben found himself at rock bottom at 250lbs and 36% body fat. He realized the need for eminent change in his life and quickly took action. His outlook on the world changed with his health, and now he’s one of the most prominent names in the Keto & Low-Carb space. In our conversation with Ben, we discussed:

* Deconstructing “your why”

* Taking ownership and responsibility of your life

* Simplifying the foods to incorporate into the diet

* Treating the symptoms versus treating the root cause

* Explaining the biggest benefits of keto (& mistakes people make)

The protein powder & supplement industry is riddled with products that aren’t sourced from high-quality sources or contain ingredients and fillers that you don’t want in your protein powder or body. Equip provides a clean, beef-sourced protein and even has a product that’s a single ingredient, beef protein. If you’re a purist like us, eating real foods is the only way to maximize your health. Equip ensures that if you don’t have access to freshly cooked food after a workout, you can at least opt for a high-quality protein powder.

Holy Cow Beef: Labeling laws have made it challenging to know exactly how your beef was raised. “Grass-fed” does not mean what it used to and since the laws permit for grain-fed beef to still be considered grass-fed, you really need to look for the AGA (American Grassfed Association) label to ensure you’re getting the highest quality beef. Holy Cow Beef, owned by Ann and Weldon Warren, embodies the highest standards of animal husbandry and truly believes in the importance of creating the highest quality product for the end consumer. Check out their website for meat boxes and delivery options!

Wrich Ranches: If you’re in Colorado and want the highest quality grass-fed, grass-finished, regeneratively raised beef in the state, go check out Wrich Ranches. He takes bitcoin (and will give you a hard time if you don’t know what bitcoin is)!
