Summary

In this episode, Mark Groves sits down with health expert Ben Azadi to crack open the world of metabolic health, biohacking, and why your mindset might be the most underrated tool in your wellness toolbox. From decoding blood work (way beyond those “normal” ranges) to exposing the hidden dangers of environmental toxins, this conversation gets real about what it actually takes to feel good in your body. Ben shares insights from his book Metabolic Freedom, flipping the script on traditional weight loss advice. If you're ready to challenge old beliefs and take control of your health from the inside out, this one’s a must-listen. Ben Azadi, FDN-P, is a leading voice in metabolic health and the founder of Keto Kamp, a global brand dedicated to educating others on ancient healing strategies like keto and fasting. After shedding 80 pounds in 2008 and reversing his own health issues, Ben committed to helping over 1 billion people live healthier lives, including a 10-year mission to help 1 million people naturally reverse diabetes. Known as The Health Detective, he’s been a go-to expert on keto and intermittent fasting since 2013, with over 17 years in the health space and four best-selling books—including his latest with Hay House, Metabolic Freedom.
