Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

Back pain is more than discomfort. It can be a warning sign linked to chronic inflammation, nervous system dysregulation, metabolic slowdown, and reduced lifespan. In this episode, Ben Azadi explains how poor posture sends a biological threat signal to the body, keeping it stuck in fight-or-flight mode and impairing fat burning, energy, and recovery.

You’ll learn how modern habits like prolonged sitting, phone use, and stress create forward head posture (tech neck), shallow breathing, elevated cortisol, and reduced oxygen delivery to the brain. Ben breaks down why posture is a neurological pattern, not just a muscle issue, and how it can be retrained.

This episode walks through a simple five-minute daily posture reset protocol that includes pelvic alignment, core activation, shoulder relaxation, head realignment, and an optional wall drill to retrain the nervous system. Ben also explains why stretching alone does not fix posture and why alignment must come before workouts or mobility work.

If you’ve been dealing with back pain, fatigue, brain fog, or stubborn fat, this episode shows how correcting posture can improve breathing, nervous system tone, metabolic health, and overall longevity.

Your poop can reveal early warning signs of serious health issues long before symptoms appear. In this episode, Ben Azadi explains how stool color, texture, and consistency reflect what’s happening in your gut, liver, and metabolism.

Ben breaks down three major red flags to watch for: pale or clay-colored stool linked to poor bile flow and liver dysfunction, black or tar-like stool that may indicate internal bleeding, and mucus or blood in the stool as a sign of chronic gut inflammation or damage.

You’ll learn why colon cancer, liver disease, and gut disorders often develop silently, how bile supports fat digestion, detoxification, and hormone balance, and why “feeling fine” doesn’t always mean your body is healthy.

The episode also covers practical steps to reduce inflammation, support liver health, improve bile flow, and restore healthy digestion through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and proper elimination.

This conversation is about awareness, not fear, empowering you to recognize patterns early and take action before small signals turn into serious health problems.

You don’t have a willpower problem. You have an insulin problem.

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down nine foods commonly marketed as “healthy” that are secretly spiking insulin, blocking fat burning, and keeping belly fat stuck, even if you’re eating clean or cutting calories.

You’ll learn why fat loss is driven by hormones, not calories, and how insulin shuts down your body’s ability to burn stored fat. Ben explains how foods like whole wheat bread, fruit juice, instant oatmeal, protein bars, low-fat yogurt, almond milk, agave, granola, and whole grain cereal can all create metabolic gridlock.

More importantly, he shares simple food swaps that lower insulin faster than fasting, reduce cravings, stabilize energy, and restore metabolic flexibility.

This episode also challenges the calories-in vs calories-out myth, explains why food quality matters more than calorie counting, and reinforces a core truth of metabolic health: you don’t lose weight to get healthy, you get healthy to lose weight.

You’ll also hear about:


How insulin locks fat storage in place


Why fructose targets the liver and increases visceral fat


The role of inflammation in stubborn weight gain


Why breakfast sets your fat-burning or fat-storing mode for the day


Simple swaps that can flatten your belly within a week

What if the real reason your inflammation, stubborn weight gain, burnout, and joint pain are not going away has nothing to do with aging or willpower, but with a biological code your body is trying to communicate?

In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi welcomes back Dr. Shivani Gupta for a powerful conversation on inflammation, Ayurveda, and why modern life quietly keeps the body stuck in a chronic inflammatory state. Dr. Shivani explains why inflammation is not just a symptom, but a biological alarm that signals misalignment with nature, circadian rhythm, lifestyle, and mental stress.

They break down the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, why chronic low-grade inflammation blocks fat loss, disrupts hormones, impairs digestion, and accelerates fatigue, and how ancient Ayurvedic principles offer simple, effective solutions that still apply today. You will learn how daily rhythm, nature exposure, circadian alignment, and anti-inflammatory spices can begin shifting inflammation in as little as 24 hours, without extreme diets, deprivation, or medication.

The conversation also dives deep into mental and emotional inflammation, how stress chemistry impacts the body at a cellular level, and why healing requires addressing environment, mindset, and lifestyle together. If you have been doing everything right but still feel inflamed, bloated, or exhausted, this episode offers a clear reframe and practical tools you can start using immediately.
