In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi exposes the 7 “healthy” foods and ingredients silently destroying your liver and blocking fat loss.

You’ll learn: Why liver inflammation shuts down fat loss even with clean eating How fructose and seed oils overload liver detox pathways The gut–liver connection and how leaky gut worsens fatty liver Simple food swaps that immediately support liver healing Ben also shares a 7-step liver reset protocol, including fasting, walking after meals, protein intake, ditching seed oils, and prioritizing sleep, plus answers common questions about oat milk, fruit, cheat days, and fatty liver testing. The episode wraps with practical liver-healing foods, real success stories, and access to free and low-cost resources designed to jumpstart fat loss and restore metabolic health.

Fasting is one of the most powerful tools for fat loss, healing, and longevity, but it fails for many people because their metabolism is not prepared. In this episode, Ben Azadi explains why fasting feels miserable or unsustainable for most people and reveals the hidden metabolic mistakes that sabotage results before a fast even begins. You’ll learn why being a sugar burner instead of a fat burner makes fasting feel like torture, how stress and poor sleep block fat burning, and why nighttime eating can completely ruin your fast the next day. Ben also breaks down how inflammation, toxins stored in fat cells, low protein intake, and an all-or-nothing approach to fasting lead to crashes, cravings, and failure. This episode covers: Why fasting fails when metabolic flexibility is low The role of insulin, cortisol, and inflammation in fasting success How stress, sleep, and nighttime eating impact fat burning Why toxins can make fasting feel worse instead of better How to properly prepare your body before fasting The 7 foundational steps to make fasting easier and effective How to know when your body is truly ready to fast If fasting has ever felt like failure or suffering, this episode explains why it was not your fault and how fixing the foundation can completely change your results.

What if everything you thought about muscle building, fat loss, and strength training was backwards? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, host Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. John Jaquish, biomedical engineer, inventor, and author of Weight Lifting Is a Waste of Time, for a deep-dive conversation that challenges traditional fitness dogma. Dr. Jaquish explains why conventional weightlifting, bulking, and endless cardio are inefficient, unnecessary, and often counter-productive for real body recomposition. He shares the science behind variable resistance training, how high protein intake drives metabolism, why low carbohydrate thresholds matter, and how your body can build muscle and burn fat simultaneously without joint destruction or outdated exercise myths. Whether you lift weights regularly or you’ve ever felt stuck in your progress, this episode will flip your assumptions about muscle, fat loss, and strength gains — and give you a new framework to achieve both lean muscle and metabolic freedom. Key Topics Covered • Why body recomposition is possible at all fitness levels • How variable resistance training (like X3) outperforms traditional lifting • Why high protein consumption accelerates fat loss • The science behind low carbohydrate thresholds for muscle glycogen • Myths about how much protein the body can absorb • Why calories are a flawed measure for muscle growth • Essential amino acids, creatine, peptides — what works and when • How short, high-intensity training minimizes joint wear • Why traditional cardio rarely drives body recomposition Books Mentioned 📘 Weight Lifting Is a Waste of Timeby Dr. John Jaquishhttps://www.amazon.com/Weight-Lifting-Waste-Time-Cardio/dp/154450893X Products and Programs Mentioned 👉 X3 BarVariable resistance training system designed for big muscle gains and fat loss:https://benazadi.com/x3 💸 Coupon code: SAVE50 — $50 off the X3 Bar system Watch the Full Interview on YouTube 📺 https://www.youtube.com/@BenAzadi Follow Ben Azadi 🌐 Website: https://www.benazadi.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebenazadi📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/benazadi.coach💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benazadi🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@benazadi 🔎 Find All Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals
