With 93% of Americans now considered metabolically unhealthy, this episode is a wake-up call. The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes Ben Azadi—biohacker and author of the newly released book, Metabolic Freedom: A 30-Day Guide to Restore Your Metabolism, Heal Hormones & Burn Fat. It also explores the top hidden contributor to metabolic dysfunction—heavy metal toxicity—and why the most powerful biohack of all may be your thoughts.

In this inspiring conversation, Ben shares how he transformed his body and mind using ketosis—and why most people are doing keto all wrong. Ann Louise and Ben dive into the real keys to metabolic freedom, including how to test for ketosis (and why one method stands above the rest), the vital role of liver support, and what “metabolic flex days” can do to reset your system.

Ben also opens up about his childhood struggles with obesity and how his health journey lifted him out of depression and into clarity and confidence. According to Ben, we get thousands of chances a day to shift our body toward balance and healing. If you’re looking to boost energy, burn fat, and truly feel good again, this podcast could be your roadmap to metabolic freedom.
