Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

Think all vegetables are healthy? Think again. In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals five "superfood" vegetables that could be sabotaging your weight loss, spiking inflammation, disrupting your hormones, and blocking fat burning. Backed by science and expert interviews, you’ll learn exactly which vegetables to avoid, why they’re harmful, and what to eat instead for maximum fat loss and metabolic health.🥦 Top 5 Vegetables to AVOID for Fat Loss & Inflammation: Spinach High in oxalates → bind to minerals, damage the gut lining, and deplete glutathione Linked to joint pain, kidney stones, and leaky gut Can spike cortisol, increase belly fat, and cause fatigue Kale Another oxalate-rich leafy green Contains goitrogens that can impair thyroid function (→ slows metabolism) Potential trigger for autoimmune flare-ups Swiss Chard A colorful but sneaky oxalate bomb Depletes B6 and biotin → worsens hormonal balance and fat storage Linked to skin, joint, and metabolism issues Beets High in natural sugars + oxalates = double trouble Increases insulin and glucose spikes Damages mitochondria, slowing your fat-burning capacity Potatoes (white/red) High glycemic load + oxalates = metabolic chaos Promotes water retention, fat storage, and bloating Especially dangerous when eaten with high fat (e.g., cheese & butter) 📣 Special Announcement: Join the Free 3-Day Burn Fat Challenge 🗓 Starts April 28 💥 Live sessions with Ben on hormone balance, fat burning, and metabolism—based on his new book Metabolic Freedom 🔗 Reserve your free spot here: http://www.BurnFatChallenge.com📚 🎁 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Gary Brecka, Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

Mary’s Healing Journey: Once bedridden with dysautonomia, Mary reversed her condition through ancestral nutrition, high-fat animal foods, and nervous system restoration.🌍 Debunking Blue Zone Myths: Mary lived in every Blue Zone and confirms they're not plant-based. Animal fats, organ meats, and seasonal animal products are staples. Even vegetables are cooked in lard, tallow, or butter. She exposes the flawed data and cultural misunderstandings behind Blue Zone studies and Dan Buettner’s conclusions. 🥦 The Truth About Plant Toxins: Plants have complex chemical defense systems (oxalates, lectins, phytates). Historical cultures processed plants carefully — modern diets skip this, leading to gut damage and inflammation. Potatoes, corn, and nightshades require specific detox methods our ancestors mastered. 🧠 Gut Health & Microbiome Masterclass: Mary explains how gut bacteria placement matters more than just diversity. Fiber is non-essential; animal-based diets can improve microbiome health. The environment, light exposure, and mindset play a bigger role in microbiome shifts than food alone. Carnivore diets can increase beneficial bacteria and diversity—Ben shares his 90-day N=1 CGM and stool test experiment as proof. 🧪 Problems with Food Sensitivity Testing: Tests are unreliable and misleading. Food avoidance without gut healing just leads to more intolerances over time. ❤️ The Power of Traditional Diets: Modern food dogma has no historical or biological basis. Mary encourages returning to ancestral eating: nutrient-dense fats, organ meats, seasonal fare. Westerners must relearn what indigenous cultures never forgot.
