In this episode…
Ben Azadi doesn’t believe anyone has a weight problem.
It’s a weight symptom.
In this episode, we unpack one of the most important health messages you’re not hearing from your doctor—how insulin resistance silently builds for up to 14 years before it shows up on a blood test. And by the time you’re told your blood sugar’s too high? You’ve been metabolically unhealthy for a long time.
Ben, founder of Keto Kamp and author of Metabolic Freedom, shares his personal story and the science behind how he lost 80 pounds 17 years ago and has kept it off ever since. Not by cutting calories. Not by eating six meals a day. But by healing his metabolism at the cellular level.
We talk about why so many doctors miss the early warning signs of metabolic dysfunction, and why toxic seed oils, obesogens, and even “harmless” French fries are secretly destroying your ability to lose weight and live long.
This is the kind of episode that connects all the dots—from fasting to inflammation to toxins and sleep. If you’ve tried everything and still feel like your body’s not working the way it should, don’t miss this one.
Key discussion points…
- The insulin resistance epidemic
- Fasting insulin: the critical test your doctor isn’t ordering
- What exactly is insulin resistance?
- Why simple calorie counting doesn’t work long-term
- Continuous glucose monitors and effective testing
- Intermittent fasting benefits

- Why long-term keto isn’t ideal, especially for women
- Metabolic Freedom book
- Weight lifting for metabolic health
- How environmental toxins affect metabolism

Nobody has a weight problem. It is a weight symptom. We don’t lose weight to get healthy. We get healthy to lose weight.
