In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the five foods he eliminated that ended his chronic cravings and led to losing 19 pounds in 30 days.

The root issue is not willpower. It's hormones and inflammation. A 2019 NIH study by Kevin Hall had participants eating ultra-processed vs. whole foods at matched calories. On the ultra-processed diet, they ate 500 extra calories per day without realizing it. The food was driving the overconsumption, not a lack of discipline.

The five foods to remove:

Liquid sugar. Sodas, juices, sports drinks, and flavored coffee drinks don't register as fullness. The Harvard Nurses' Health Study found adding one sugary drink per day led to 358 extra calories consumed daily. Swap for black coffee, plain tea, or sparkling water.

Ultra-processed breads and tortillas. Stripped of nutrition and engineered for shelf life, modern bread spikes blood sugar as much as a Snickers bar according to Dr. William Davis. Opt for fermented sourdough or sprouted grain, or remove bread entirely for 30 days.

Boxed pastas and processed comfort foods. Hyper-palatable combinations of salt, sugar, fat, and starch that overstimulate the brain's reward centers while leaving the body nutritionally depleted. A follow-up to Hall's study found people eating these foods consumed up to 1,000 extra calories per day.

Seed oil-laden dressings, sauces, and condiments. Soybean, canola, corn, sunflower, and related oils produce carcinogenic aldehydes during processing and are in roughly 80% of the food supply. Replace with avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed butter, ghee, coconut oil, beef tallow, or duck fat. Look for seed oil-free brands like Primal Kitchen and Chosen Foods.

Alcohol. A 1992 New England Journal of Medicine study found moderate alcohol consumption drops fat oxidation by 70% for hours. The liver prioritizes clearing alcohol above all else, including fat burning, while simultaneously increasing appetite and lowering the brain's stop-eating signals.

You brush, you floss, you rinse, and tartar still keeps coming back. The real reason has almost nothing to do with how hard you're brushing. In this episode, Ben breaks down why plaque keeps returning and the simple nighttime protocol that changes your mouth's environment so tartar stops forming in the first place.

What you'll learn:

The NIH reports the average adult hosts 50 to 100 billion bacterial cells in their mouth at any given time. When biofilm isn't disrupted fast enough, minerals in your saliva harden and cement it onto your enamel. Full mineralization happens in as little as 48 to 72 hours.

The 5 daily mistakes making tartar worse: frequent snacking and hidden sugars, chronic dry mouth, harsh toothpaste and mouthwash that destroys nitric oxide-producing bacteria, ignoring biofilm in the zones your toothbrush can't reach, and a chronically acidic mouth from coffee, sparkling water, wine, and citrus.

The 5-step nighttime fix: floss before brushing, switch to a microbiome-supportive toothpaste, skip rinsing with water after brushing, keep water on your nightstand and consider mouth taping, and support nitric oxide production before bed with greens, beet juice, or a nitric oxide lozenge.

Bonus: tongue scraping morning and night supports nitric oxide production and keeps bacteria in check.

Kidney disease doesn't start with pain. It starts with nothing. By the time you feel it, you may have already lost half your kidney function. The National Kidney Foundation reports 90% of people with chronic kidney disease don't know they have it. In most cases, the damage begins 10 to 15 years before any diagnosis — while labs still look normal.

THE 7 HABITS


Blood Sugar Spikes. Post-meal glucose spikes damage the hair-thin filtration vessels inside the kidneys over time. A 2024 Nature Communications paper found cellular insulin resistance drives kidney damage before diabetes ever appears.


Chronic Dehydration. Your kidneys filter 180 liters of plasma daily. Less water means concentrated waste and a higher workload. Coffee, soda, and energy drinks don't count. Drink clean spring water.


Processed Food. Phosphate additives and industrial seed oils (soybean, corn, canola) create ongoing inflammation in the blood vessels kidneys depend on. Swap to butter, ghee, tallow, coconut oil, and high-quality olive oil. 


Sugar and Fructose. Fructose overwhelms the liver, converts to uric acid, and lands on the kidneys. A 2024 UK Biobank study of 127,000+ adults found even one sugar-sweetened beverage daily significantly raises kidney disease risk. Diet soda is not a safe swap.


Ignoring Blood Pressure. No symptoms doesn't mean no damage. Every heartbeat sends pressure through delicate kidney capillaries. Damaged kidneys then lose their ability to regulate pressure — creating a worsening feedback loop.


Chronic Stress and Poor Sleep. Cortisol raises blood sugar, blood pressure, and insulin resistance. Sleeping under four hours raises kidney disease risk by 45%. Kidney repair happens at night.


Ignoring Insulin Resistance. The root of everything. By the time labs flag it, you've likely been insulin resistant for 6 to 14 years. About 93% of American adults have some form of it.

In this episode, Ben Azadi shares how he reversed fatty liver disease naturally after being diagnosed at just 23 years old. Despite barely drinking alcohol, Ben struggled with obesity, brain fog, inflammation, low energy, and stubborn belly fat until he discovered the real root cause: metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance.

Ben breaks down the 3 powerful shifts that helped him heal his liver, lose 80 pounds, and restore his health naturally:


Stop snacking and constantly spiking insulin


Stop eating before bed to support overnight liver repair


Walk after meals to lower blood sugar and reduce liver fat

He also explains the role of glutathione, NAC supplementation, sleep, insulin resistance, and why belly fat is often a sign of liver overload rather than simply eating too many calories.

You’ll also learn:


Why fatty liver is now called MASLD


How late-night eating damages metabolism


The connection between liver health and deep sleep


Why walking after meals is one of the most underrated fat-loss tools


The best and worst alcohol choices for liver health


Why coffee can actually support the liver when consumed correctly
