Why weight gain, inflammation, and fatigue were never your fault
How decades of nutrition advice kept insulin chronically elevated
What the new food pyramid removed and why that matters
Why Robert F. Kennedy Jr. warned about corporate food influence years ago
How protein, healthy fats, and whole foods restore metabolic health

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down how he lost 80 pounds without calorie counting, extreme exercise, or willpower by fixing one overlooked organ that controls fat burning: the liver.

You will learn five simple, practical liver detox strategies that help remove inflammation, restore hormone balance, and unlock natural fat burning:
Why eating too close to bedtime blocks liver detox and fat loss
How bitter foods stimulate bile production and improve digestion
How sauna use multiplies detox, boosts insulin sensitivity, and enhances fat burning

#1215 The Apple Cider Vinegar Myth Exposed - When It Helps, When It Backfires, and How to Use It to Control Blood Sugar and Burn Fat Naturally With Ben Azadi
13/1/2026 | 21 mins.
Apple cider vinegar is not a fat burner or a detox. It is a metabolic signal that influences how your body handles sugar and insulin.
In this episode, Ben explains why blood sugar spikes matter more than sugar itself, how insulin drives fat storage, and how apple cider vinegar can slow sugar absorption when used correctly.
You’ll learn the biggest mistakes people make with apple cider vinegar, the exact timing that makes it effective, and why taking it randomly or after eating sugar backfires.
Ben shares his recommended protocol, including liquid vs capsule options, how often to use it, and why more is not better. He also explains how apple cider vinegar can support keto, low-carb, and carnivore diets by improving fat digestion.
The episode also breaks down common myths around acid reflux, GERD, and stomach acid, and why metabolic health is about signals, not willpower or calorie counting.
Key takeaway: Apple cider vinegar does not cause fat loss directly, but when used properly, it can reduce insulin spikes, support metabolic flexibility, and improve energy after meals.
