The Thyroid Fixer 524. The Truth About Insulin Resistance and Weight Loss with Ben Azadi
In this can’t-miss episode, I’m joined by the one and only Ben Azadi—keto authority, metabolic health detective, and author of the powerhouse book “Metabolic Freedom.” If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in “metabolic prison”—think weight that won’t budge, crushing fatigue, crazy cravings, or insulin resistance that no prescription seems to touch—Ben is here to break the chains. We’re diving deep into what it really means to be metabolically broken (spoiler alert: a shocking 93% of Americans fall into this category), and Ben lays out exactly why your lab work and scale are just scratching the surface when it comes to true health, longevity, and disease prevention.
But this episode goes way beyond “just eat less, move more.” We’re busting the myths that are keeping you stuck—like calories in/calories out, snacking every two hours, and thinking “healthy” foods can’t spike your blood sugar. You’ll learn why high insulin is public enemy number one for thyroid, weight loss, and your brain (yes, even Alzheimer’s is on the table). We talk actionable lab markers, supercharged supplements (hello, apple cider vinegar and berberine!), and the real culprit behind “food noise.” Most of all, Ben shares how metabolic freedom is rooted not just in what you eat, but how you think—chapter 10 of his book is honestly worth the price alone. If you’re ready to ditch frustration, take charge of your health, and build a metaphorical (or literal) bonfire out of your old diet rules—this is your invitation to join us in "Optimization Land".
