Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi

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.

Waking up in the middle of the night to pee is not normal, even if it only happens once. This episode reveals why nighttime urination is an early metabolic warning sign, not a bladder or prostate issue.

Ben explains how insulin resistance, blood sugar spikes, cortisol, and disrupted hormones interfere with deep sleep, fat burning, and brain detoxification. When sleep is interrupted, belly fat increases, hormones fall out of balance, and the brain’s nighttime cleaning process shuts down.

You’ll learn the five main metabolic causes behind nighttime urination, including late-night eating, alcohol, electrolyte imbalance, high cortisol, and fluid shifts in the body. Ben also shares simple changes you can start tonight to sleep through the night again.

This episode breaks down why most doctors miss this signal, how insulin resistance can exist years before diabetes, and how fixing metabolic signals can restore sleep, energy, fat loss, and long-term health.

If you’re waking up to pee, feeling wired but tired, or struggling with stubborn belly fat, this episode could change everything.

Blood sugar issues are not caused by sugar alone. In this episode, Ben Azadi explains how mineral deficiencies are a hidden driver behind insulin resistance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes. You’ll learn the five essential minerals your body needs to regulate blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and support long-term metabolic health.

This episode breaks down why medication-focused approaches often miss the root cause and how restoring mineral balance can lead to better glucose control, energy, cravings, and fat loss.

What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeWhy blood sugar problems are more about mineral deficiency than carbohydratesHow insulin signaling depends on proper mineral availabilityThe connection between gut health and blood sugar spikesWhy modern soil depletion contributes to widespread mineral deficienciesHow minerals act as the communication system of metabolism

The 5 Minerals That Help Lower Blood Sugar

Fulvic AcidSupports mineral absorption at the cellular level. Improves insulin receptor sensitivity, glucose transport into muscles, pancreatic health, and mitochondrial energy production.

Humic AcidSupports gut health by reducing inflammation, improving microbiome balance, and slowing carbohydrate absorption to flatten blood sugar spikes.

Trace MineralsChromium, zinc, selenium, and manganese help activate insulin signaling pathways, support insulin production, and reduce insulin resistance.

MagnesiumOne of the most commonly deficient minerals in people with insulin resistance. Supports insulin sensitivity, lowers cortisol, reduces cravings, and stabilizes blood sugar.

PotassiumAn insulin-sparing electrolyte that improves glucose storage in muscles, balances sodium, lowers cortisol, and reduces insulin overproduction.

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals a simple 10-minute daily ritual that helps activate stem cells, support fat loss, improve energy, and slow biological aging. Instead of extreme workouts or stimulants, Ben explains how the body responds to precise biological signals that restore cellular repair.

You’ll learn why aging is not about getting older, but about being under-repaired, and how declining stem cell signaling, NAD+ levels, and mitochondrial function drive fatigue, fat gain, and brain fog, especially after age 35.

Ben breaks down three easy daily rituals:


A morning light and movement stack to activate fat-burning and stem cell repair


A midday cellular reset that supports NAD+ levels, focus, and metabolic energy without caffeine crashes


An evening fasted wind-down routine that enhances deep sleep, brain detox, and overnight repair

He also explains why recovery, sleep, and cellular energy matter more than willpower, and how consistency with simple habits can dramatically improve metabolic health and longevity.
