Is your diet keeping you metabolically handcuffed? If you have been strict with one type of diet, but are frustrated by the lack of health benefits, listen to this episode as I chat with health expert, Ben Azadi.

We discuss Ben's carnivore experiment, the benefits of a flexible metabolism, and how to guide yourself toward becoming metabolically diverse. We also dive into the misconceptions around glucose, the importance of cycling between ketosis and higher carb days to optimize metabolic health, and the potential impact of genetics on dietary choices. Lastly, we talk about focusing on whole foods and practicing gratitude and joy for overall health and well-being.

Ben has over 15 years of experience in the health industry, and he’s the author of four best-selling books, including his latest Keto Flex. Known as ‘The Health Detective’, he is the founder of Keto Kamp; a global brand bringing awareness to ancient healing strategies such as the keto diet and fasting. Ben is the host of a top 15 podcast, The Metabolic Freedom Podcast which won Keto Podcast of The Year (2022) by The Metabolic Health Summit.
