Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

What if your stubborn weight gain, fatigue, or blood sugar issues aren’t just about food or hormones, but the toxins your body has been accumulating for decades?

In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with detoxification expert Dr. Wendy Myers to explore how heavy metals, environmental chemicals, and everyday exposures may be silently disrupting metabolism, insulin function, and mitochondrial energy.

Dr. Myers explains why many people do everything right with diet and exercise yet still struggle with fatigue, weight loss resistance, and metabolic dysfunction. The conversation breaks down how toxic metals like arsenic, cadmium, iron, and mercury interfere with insulin signaling, damage cells, and contribute to conditions like pre-diabetes, fatty liver, and chronic fatigue.

You’ll also learn what real detox actually means, how to test for heavy metals, practical daily detox strategies, and emerging approaches like bioenergetic frequency tools. If you’ve hit a plateau despite healthy habits, this episode explores a powerful missing piece in metabolic health.

Weak grip strength is not a normal part of aging. It is often an early warning sign of metabolic dysfunction.

In this episode, Ben explains how issues like insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, mitochondrial decline, and mineral depletion can weaken nerve signaling and muscle function, especially in the hands. Grip strength is one of the strongest predictors of longevity, independence, and overall metabolic health.

You’ll learn why people can look fit yet still struggle with weak hands, cramping, or fatigue, and how these symptoms often appear years before serious disease. Ben breaks down the four main root causes behind grip weakness and shares a simple daily protocol to restore strength.

The episode covers insulin resets, nutrition strategies, mineral support, protein intake, grip training, and the role of creatine in improving strength and muscle signaling. Ben also explains why chronic stress and inflammation accelerate metabolic decline and how gratitude can positively impact metabolism.

This episode offers practical, actionable steps you can start today to rebuild grip strength, improve energy, and protect long-term metabolic health.

Yellow teeth are not just a cosmetic issue. They are often a metabolic signal linked to saliva pH, gut health, liver function, and mineral balance.

Most whitening strips and bleaching products do not fix the root cause. They temporarily whiten teeth while weakening enamel, increasing porosity, disrupting the oral microbiome, and causing rebound staining over time.

Teeth are porous, like a hard sponge. When saliva becomes acidic, stains bind more easily, enamel weakens faster, and whitening results do not last.

Common internal drivers of yellow teeth include acid reflux or silent GERD, gut dysbiosis, liver congestion, mineral deficiencies, chronic dehydration, and inflammation.

This episode breaks down a natural, root-cause whitening protocol that supports enamel instead of damaging it. Key strategies include using baking soda and activated charcoal safely once per week, oil pulling with coconut oil, and restoring saliva pH through nutrition and mineral intake.

You will also learn which foods support healthy saliva pH, which foods and drinks actively damage enamel, and why frequent snacking worsens staining even with healthy foods.

The core message: your smile is metabolic, not cosmetic. Fix the internal imbalance, and whitening becomes natural and long-lasting.

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the hidden risks of Ozempic and GLP-1 weight loss drugs that are rarely discussed. While these medications may lead to quick weight loss, Ben explains why much of that loss comes from muscle, not fat, and how this can slow metabolism and increase long-term fat regain.

You’ll learn the critical difference between weight loss and true fat loss, why muscle is essential for metabolic health, and how appetite suppression can quietly sabotage hormones, energy, and recovery. Ben breaks down the four real drivers of weight gain: insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, gut dysfunction, and nutrient depletion.

This episode also covers why Ozempic is not a moral or willpower issue, but a metabolic signaling problem, and why obesity is a hormonal condition, not a personal failure. Ben shares a science-backed alternative approach focused on lowering insulin naturally, preserving muscle through resistance training, and healing the gut to restore hunger signals.

If you or someone you love is using Ozempic or considering it, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a sustainable path to real metabolic health without dependency on drugs.
