The Ben Azadi Show

You felt fine this morning. You went to the gym, ate your usual, told yourself you were healthy. But your blood work is telling a completely different story, and by the time your body starts shouting, the damage has been years in the making.

In this episode, I read Alex's full lab panel live and show him exactly where "normal" was quietly hiding a real problem.

What we get into:

Why "in range" on your labs is not the same as healthy, and how the reference range is built on the average of an unhealthy population

The markerbiohacksasic yearly panel skips: triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, LP(a), homocysteine, fasting insulin, and free testosterone

How Alex felt totally fine while sitting at pre-diabetic blood sugar, a testosterone of 225, and a cardiovascular risk ratio of 8.2

The simple swaps that move the needle: killing seed oils, cutting the sugar hiding in green juices, and mastering the foundations before the fancy biohacks

Remember this: If you treat your health casually, you will end up a casualty.

Two studies say the opposite thing about faith and health. Harvard followed 74,000 women and found the ones who went to church more than once a week were 33% less likely to die. Northwestern followed young adults and found the most religiously involved were 50% more likely to become obese by middle age. Live longer, get sicker. In this episode, Ben Azadi sits down with Justin, former NHL performance coach and author of the new book Holy Health, to unpack how that contradiction is even possible and what to actually do about it.

What we get into:

Why "burnout in the name of God" is not holy, and the "devil's playbook" that quietly takes your health apart (distraction, disconnection, division, discouragement, depletion)

The three things every cell needs to thrive: oxygen, detoxification, and nutrients

Oxygen made simple: VO2 max, and how much zone 2 and zone 5 training you actually need each week

Why sleep quality, not juice cleanses, is the real language of detox, plus the 3-2-1 rule for deeper sleep

Why your "normal" blood work can look fine while your cells are starving, and what homocysteine and methylation reveal

Heart rate variability as the body's language, and Justin's honest take on GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic

One line to remember: distraction is focusing on good things instead of God things.

Out of every superfood, supplement, and biohack Ben has studied in 18 years, one thing beats them all. And it's completely free.

In this Freedom Friday episode, Ben Azadi and Alex break down "Vitamin G," gratitude, and why it might be the most underrated tool for your brain, your body, and your metabolism. This isn't woo woo. They get into the actual science of how gratitude rewires your brain, lowers cortisol, strengthens your immune system, and even shows up in your mitochondria.

What we get into:

Why gratitude is a feeling, not a checklist, and the small shift that changes everything

The Harvard study on 49,275 nurses that tied gratitude to a 9% drop in all-cause mortality

How gratitude lowers cortisol through oxytocin, and why that matters for belly fat and sleep

The reticular activating system and the "red Audi" effect that trains your brain to see more good

A simple 3-minute morning and night practice you can start tonight

The Vitamin G movement, and the one text that could transform your relationships

One line to remember: Gratitude is strength training for your soul. The more you take, the more you produce.

Why do we keep sabotaging the exact health, body, and life we say we want?

In this Transformation Tuesday episode, Ben Azadi and Alex go deep on the real reason you keep going back to the same unhealthy habits, even when part of you knows better. It comes down to the software that was installed in you before you were seven years old, and a set of invisible chains you have never questioned. They break down how to actually rewrite that programming so the change finally sticks.

What we get into:

The "paradigm" running your life on autopilot, and why it was set before you turned seven

The chained elephant story that explains why you stay stuck when you could easily break free

How food and pharma companies engineered your cravings on purpose

Why being wired for addiction is secretly a superpower once you learn to channel it

The number one regret of the dying, and how to make sure it never becomes yours

Why you can't outperform your own self-image, and the simple index card practice Ben used to rewire his

How to stop reacting to your past and start creating from your future

One line to remember: You can't escape a prison if you don't know you're in one.

What if the reason you can't stop at one cookie has nothing to do with willpower, and everything to do with your brain chemistry?

In this episode, Ben Azadi sits down with addiction specialist Bitten Jonsson, who has spent nearly 40 years treating sugar and carb addiction. She breaks down how sugar acts like a psychoactive drug that hijacks your reward center, why some people are wired to be far more susceptible than others, and how three forces inside the body quietly drive the cycle of craving, bingeing, and shame.

This might be the most eye-opening conversation we've had on why "just eat less" almost never works.

What we get into:

Why sugar, flour, and starches all act as psychoactive substances, not just the white powder

The three types of eaters, and how to tell an addict from a harmful user

The three forces driving overeating: the reward center, the reptilian brain, and the pancreas

Why sensitivity to sugar is actually a survival superpower, not a weakness

How real addiction hides behind labels like anorexia and binge eating disorder

Why keto and carnivore can heal the system when moderation keeps failing

The role of purpose, energy, and gratitude (vitamin G) in lasting recovery

One line to remember: You are not addicted to food. You are addicted to the psychoactive substances hiding inside so many foods.
