April 08, 2025#984 The Great Blue Zones Deception: Why the World’s Longest-Lived People Actually Thrive on Meat, Animal Fat & Seasonal Eating with Mary Ruddick
Mary’s Healing Journey: Once bedridden with dysautonomia, Mary reversed her condition through ancestral nutrition, high-fat animal foods, and nervous system restoration.

🌍 Debunking Blue Zone Myths:
Mary lived in every Blue Zone and confirms they're not plant-based.
Animal fats, organ meats, and seasonal animal products are staples.
Even vegetables are cooked in lard, tallow, or butter.
She exposes the flawed data and cultural misunderstandings behind Blue Zone studies and Dan Buettner’s conclusions.
🥦 The Truth About Plant Toxins:
Plants have complex chemical defense systems (oxalates, lectins, phytates).
Historical cultures processed plants carefully — modern diets skip this, leading to gut damage and inflammation.
Potatoes, corn, and nightshades require specific detox methods our ancestors mastered.
🧠 Gut Health & Microbiome Masterclass:
Mary explains how gut bacteria placement matters more than just diversity.
Fiber is non-essential; animal-based diets can improve microbiome health.
The environment, light exposure, and mindset play a bigger role in microbiome shifts than food alone.
Carnivore diets can increase beneficial bacteria and diversity—Ben shares his 90-day N=1 CGM and stool test experiment as proof.
🧪 Problems with Food Sensitivity Testing:
Tests are unreliable and misleading.
Food avoidance without gut healing just leads to more intolerances over time.
❤️ The Power of Traditional Diets:
Modern food dogma has no historical or biological basis.
Mary encourages returning to ancestral eating: nutrient-dense fats, organ meats, seasonal fare.
Westerners must relearn what indigenous cultures never forgot.

April 03, 2025#979 Why Counting Calories Wrecks Your Metabolism (& What Actually Works) with Ben Azadi
🔥 Main Takeaway:
The common belief that calories in vs. calories out is the key to fat loss is not only flawed — it can destroy your metabolism.
💡 Key Highlights:
Host shares his personal 80-pound fat loss journey after breaking free from the calorie deficit trap.
The Lie: Counting calories works temporarily, but ultimately leads to hormonal imbalances, slowed metabolism, and weight regain.
The Truth: Weight gain is not a calorie issue — it’s a hormone and inflammation issue.
Metabolic health must come first. Get healthy to lose weight, not the other way around.
Example: Biggest Loser contestants regained weight due to damaged hormones (ghrelin/leptin) post calorie-restriction.
Practical Solutions:
Cut carbs to <50g/day
Follow the 2-2-2 rule for healthy fats
Eliminate snacking
Practice intermittent fasting (e.g., 18:6 window)
Science-Backed Insight: Gut health and hormone balance play a bigger role than calorie math.
Bonus: Free access to the Metabolic Freedom Course + interviews with Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Daniel Pompa, Cynthia Thurlow & Megan Ramos when you order the book at http://www.metabolicfreedombook.com
