Summary

What if the foods we eat every day — the ones labeled as “natural” or “healthy” — were quietly working against us? In this eye-opening episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with Siouxie Boshoff, the founder of Switch Sweets, to expose the hidden truth about what’s really inside our food. From synthetic dyes and seed oils to sneaky “natural flavors,” Siouxie shares her personal journey of discovering how these additives impacted her health — and how that awakening led her to take on the food industry itself. Together, Ben and Siouxie peel back the curtain on misleading labels, broken food systems, and the growing movement of consumers demanding better. This conversation isn’t just about what’s wrong with our food — it’s about what’s possiblewhen we come together, stay curious, and choose change with every bite. You’ll walk away inspired to read labels differently, support brands that actually care, and join a community redefining what it means to eat clean. 🔗 Links and Resources: Website: switchsweets.com/benazadi - Use code FREEDOM for 10% off!
