We just hit 1 MILLION YouTube subscribers! 🤯🔥
What. A. Journey.

Back in 2020, I photoshopped a picture of myself holding the YouTube Gold Play Button and made it my phone’s lock screen. I put that same image on my vision board and visualized it every single day.

I even wrote it on my goal card as a C-type goal — something so big it scared me.

And today… it became real.

Nearly 3,000 videos uploaded.
A brand-new video every single day for the last 60 days.
Almost 100 million total downloads.

Absolutely wild.
And the best part? We’re just getting started.
A massive thank you to my incredible team — this milestone belongs to you just as much as it does to me:

Jeremy
Kamran
Alina
Danielle
Alex
Sofia
Andrea

And thank YOU — everyone subscribed, everyone watching, everyone sharing the message of metabolic health and freedom.

Most importantly, all glory to God for using me as a vessel to bring this information to the world. 🙏

Consistency isn’t easy on YouTube… but this has never been a hobby. This is a mission. People are praying for this information, and I take that seriously.

I promise to keep showing up for you.
This victory is ours — all of us together.

My heart is overflowing with Vitamin G for each of you. 💛

That's hard to believe.

This book has been in my heart for a long time. My hope is that Keto Flex becomes a resource you come back to again and again.

Say you went all out one night. Whole pizza. Plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Four beers. Two scoops of ice cream to close it out. 🍕🍝🍺🍨

Next morning you feel like garbage. Headache. Gas. Bloating. Indigestion. Acid reflux.

So you call the doctor. Nobody asks what you ate. You walk out with an antacid and a few other prescriptions.

But think about it. Are those symptoms the problem? Or is your body talking to you? 💡

Symptoms aren't the enemy. They're feedback. Your body's innate intelligence doing its job.

The real culprit is cell membrane inflammation. It's one of the biggest drivers of weight gain and weight loss resistance, and almost nobody talks about it.

This is why every trendy diet has failed you. Quick fixes don't work with your body at the cellular level.

They work against it. That's why the results never stick.

Ready to stop chasing symptoms and fix the actual problem? I break the whole thing down in my brand new booking coming out in a few days, Keto Flex REVISED.

This book will help YOU get to the root cause instead of chasing symptoms. I developed a 4-pillar framework out of everything I learned. It's the exact framework that has helped my community get healthy and lose the weight, and I put the entire system into my book Keto Flex Revised, releasing in just a few days.

I'm giving away these bonuses ONLY if you pre-order Keto Flex Revised here: https://t.co/6Eisswiw1I

Let's get to the root cause together. If you want the exact system I used to help my community release over 1 million pounds of fat, click here: https://t.co/6Eisswiw1I (Free Bonuses Included)

Don't let the smile fool you.
23rd birthday. Blew out the candle, ate most of the cake, then locked myself in my room looking for a way out.
I was 80 pounds overweight. Depressed. Addicted to sugar and video games. High blood pressure. ED. Pre-diabetic.
My doctor diagnosed all of it and never asked the one question that mattered:
What are you eating?
Instead he offered me a prescription pad.
I took it. Never went to the pharmacy.
I got obsessed with metabolism instead.
80 pounds down in nine months. 34% body fat to 6% at my lowest.
That was 18+ years ago. Photo on the left is my 40th. Right is my 23rd.
Night and day.
Since then my community has reported over 1 million pounds of fat lost.
Same way every time. Root cause, not symptoms.
I put the whole 4-pillar framework in my book, Keto Flex Revised. Out in days.

Most people are chasing the wrong thing.

They want to live longer. But they never stop to ask if those extra years will be worth living.

That's the difference between lifespan and healthspan. Modern medicine is great at adding years. It's terrible at protecting the quality of those years. So people end up living longer while feeling worse. More medications. More surgeries. Less life inside their life.

On Episode #1348 of The Ben Azadi Show, Alex Montalenti flipped the mic and interviewed me on this exact trap.

Here's what we got into:

Why your symptoms are not the problem. The brain fog, the belly fat, the achy joints, the bloating. Those aren't the enemy. They're your body's check engine light. Mask them with a pill and you ignore the message.

Why not prioritizing your health is one of the most selfish things you can do. It's never just you who suffers. It's your spouse. Your kids. Everyone who needs you to show up.

The athlete secret. Jordan, Kobe, Brady. They all got great by learning to take less hits in the back half of their careers. You can do the same thing with your body starting today.

And the tweak a week approach that makes change feel like a flow state instead of a fight.

Einstein said intellectuals solve problems. Geniuses prevent them.

Be a genius.

We're just a few days out from my LIVE fat loss training based on the principles of my upcoming book Keto Flex REVISED.

Monday, July 13th. And I've been sitting on this stuff, dying to share it with you.

Here's the truth nobody tells you. Your metabolism isn't broken.

It's blocked. "Eat less, move more" quits working because your body adapts to it. It gets efficient, digs in, and holds onto fat to protect you.

That's not you failing. It's the premise that was wrong.

The old way of achieving fat loss was ...

I need to lose weight to get healthy!

The new paradigm I'll teach you is..

I get healthy to lose weight!

The fix isn't more restriction. It's flipping your body from a sugar burner into a fat burner, and knowing when to push and when to back off so you never stall out.

Want a sneak peak to one of the lessons I'll be teaching during the live stream?

Eat your protein first at every meal. Before the carbs, before anything else. Protein flips on the hormones that shut off overeating, so you get full faster, snack less later, and hold onto the muscle that keeps your metabolism firing. Simple. Free. Works at your next meal.

And that's barely scratching the surface of what I'm teaching live on the 13th.

Here's how to jump in:
Stream the first 60 minutes free. Just save your seat.

Or go VIP for the full 2 hour training, plus my live Q&A where I answer your questions (something I almost never do), the Quick-Start Protocol, replays, and a whole stack of bonuses.

You get VIP automatically when you pre-order my new book, Keto Flex Revised.

We're only days away. I want you in that room.

I'M LEAVING YOUTUBE.

Well, sort of. Let me explain.

The Ben Azadi Show is getting a full makeover, and starting this week you're getting three new episodes every week that you will no longer find on my YouTube channel...

Metabolic Monday: I sit down with a world-class expert to break down the latest in metabolic health, and you walk away with something you can use that same day.

Transformation Tuesday: my friend Alex Montalenti (the Advancing man to my right in this photo) flips the script and interviews me. No agenda, just the real journey, the setbacks, and the mindset behind it.

Freedom Friday: Alex and I go deep on what freedom actually means. Metabolic, financial, time, all of it.
Two more things.

You told me there were too many ads. I listened. We're cutting them by 75%.

And these episodes now live only on the audio podcast and Spotify video. Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen. They won't be on YouTube anymore. We'll still post 5 to 6 brand new videos on my YouTube channel, but the show itself is moving.

This makeover requires a lot more bandwidth and energy... and it's so worth it for you.

Here's a sneak peek at what's coming:

Why I quit alcohol and how it might get you to drink less or quit too.

The real science behind gratitude.

A deep dive into Alex's lab work.

The protocol I've been using to slow down my dog Ziggy's cancer.

Plus episodes on success, mindset, manifestation, and more.

New format. Fewer ads. More of the conversations that actually matter.

Scientists Found These Bacteria Start Repairing Leaky Gut After ONE DOSE

You could eat perfectly clean and still wake up bloated, foggy, and inflamed.

Here's what almost nobody tells you. The problem might not be your food. It might be what's leaking out of your gut and into your bloodstream.Your gut isn't a tube. It's a wall, one cell thick, held together by something called tight junctions.

When that wall cracks, toxins slip through, your immune system goes on high alert, and that inflammation travels. To your brain. To your skin.

To your joints.Scientists just found something that stopped me cold. Certain strains of bacteria can start repairing that broken wall within hours of a single dose. Not months.

https://t.co/NvJWcAUUBV human trials, one specific strain improved insulin sensitivity by 29 percent in three months.

Cholesterol came down. Inflammation markers improved. And it's not about killing bad bacteria. It's about bringing back the good bacteria that modern life has quietly stripped away.

If You're Taking One of These 7 Medications, Your Dementia Risk May Be H...

Millions of people take it every single night thinking it's helping them sleep.

New research suggests it might be doing the opposite to their brain.

I just broke down the seven most common medications linked to memory loss and dementia risk. Benadryl. Acid reflux pills. Bladder medications. Even a small dose of a drug most people don't even realize is an antidepressant.
Here's the part that surprised me most.

The real danger was never one single pill. It's what happens when several of these stack together without anyone adding them up. One study of 280,000 older adults found the highest total load more than doubled dementia risk within ten years.

Stop Walking 10,000 Steps/Day (do this for 10 minutes instead)

Your step counter has been lying to you.

For thirty years we've been told more movement equals more fat loss. Burn more than you eat and the weight comes off. Except your body isn't a calculator. It's run by hormones, not a pedometer.

The real driver of stubborn belly fat is chronically high insulin. And here's the strange part. You can hit 10,000 steps every single day and still not budge that fat, because it was never about how much you walk. It's about when.

Researchers found that walking for just 10 minutes right after a meal controls blood sugar better than one long 30-minute walk later in the day. Same total time on your feet. Completely different results.

And if you can't get up and walk? There's a seated calf movement researchers found dropped participants' blood sugar spike by roughly 52 percent. From a muscle that's one percent of your body weight.

In this episode I break down exactly why this works, the studies behind it, and the four mistakes that keep this window from working for most people.

Yesterday I had the honor of being interviewed by Lauryn and Michael Bosstick on their amazing show, The Bossticks (formerly Skinny Confidential).

We discussed my upcoming book Keto Flex Revised (pre order now!!), and so many fun and important topics such as the following...

- What happens inside your body when you go without food for 100 hours
- My personal health transformation (obese to fit)
- Why eating too close to bed wrecks your sleep and prevents you from burning belly fat (I actually inspired Lauryn to work on this!)
- Why women should practice keto and fasting differently than men
- Why the key to making lasting change with your health is to change your self image deep inside your subconscious mind
- How successful achievers act as if

and much more

Stay tuned because this episode was an absolute banger. Or as my nephew Mason would say, it was TOUGH!

The Olive Oil Scam: 5 Brands To Avoid At All Costs (And What To Buy Inst...

The number you keep seeing online is wrong.

You have probably read that 69% of olive oil is fake. It is one of the most repeated claims on the internet, and it sent millions of people into a panic about the bottle in their kitchen.

Here is the truth. Most big brand olive oil is real. The largest testing program ever run in the United States, overseen by a biostatistician at Yale, looked at the brands that make up 85% of the market and found almost no adulteration at all.

So why am I telling you to be careful?

Because the real scam is quieter, and it is the kind of thing you would never notice until you knew what to look for. You can pay a premium price for a bottle of perfectly real olive oil that has quietly lost the one compound that made it worth buying in the first place.

There is a compound in fresh olive oil called oleocanthal. A scientist discovered it works on the same inflammation pathway in your body as ibuprofen. It is one of the main reasons olive oil protects your heart and calms inflammation.

But here is the part almost nobody knows. Oleocanthal fades with heat, with light, and with age. A cheap, old, oxidized bottle sitting under store lights can have almost none of it left.

In this episode I walk you through the five red flags I watch for, the real court cases behind each one, and a simple five second test you can run at home right now to find out if your oil still has its healthy compounds or if you have been paying for stale fat.

3 Bedtime Habits That TRIPLE Fat Loss In 30 Days

You did everything right today and your body might still store fat tonight.

You fasted. You stayed low carb. You walked your steps. You trained hard. And then, somewhere around 10 p.m., your body quietly asked the only question that actually decides your fat loss. Is it safe to burn fat tonight?

Most people answer that question wrong without ever knowing it. That is why the belly fat will not move no matter how disciplined the daytime is.

Here is what almost nobody tells you. About 70 percent of your fat burning growth hormone is released while you sleep, mostly in the first deep hours. But that pulse cannot fire if your insulin is still elevated from a late dinner or a late night snack. So you spend the whole night in storage mode instead of repair mode.

I had a client doing it all. Keto, fasting, 10,000 steps, the gym every weekday. One bowl of ice cream an hour before bed was undoing the entire thing. We did not take the ice cream away. We just moved it three hours earlier.

His sleep deepened, his cravings dropped, and his waist came down. Same food. Different timing.

In my newest lesson I walk you through all three bedtime habits, in the exact order your body wants them, so the next 30 nights finally start working for you.

When was the last time you ate something and felt bloated, foggy, or just... off?

Most people shrug it off. "That's just how my stomach is."
I used to think that too.

Then I sat down with Kiran Krishnan, a research microbiologist who's spent 15 years studying the gut.
He reframed the whole thing for me in one sentence:
You are not what you eat. You are what you absorb.
You can buy the organic food. Hit your protein. Train hard. But if your microbes are dysfunctional, you don't capture the full benefit of any of it.
The bloating isn't random. The brain fog isn't random. The stubborn weight around your middle isn't random either.
They're whispers. Your gut waving a flag before the problem becomes a diagnosis years down the road.
A few things from this episode that stopped me cold:
→ Why most probiotics are a waste of money (most die in your stomach acid and pass right through)
→ One antibiotic course can wipe out up to 95% of your microbes in under 3 hours
→ He exposed a healthy child's microbiome to the LEGAL level of glyphosate in cereal. 3 weeks later it looked like someone with IBD
→ The beet test you can run tonight that tells you more than most expensive labs
We even broke down my 90-day carnivore experiment with full gut testing on day 1 and day 90.
Some episodes you listen to once. This is one you'll come back to.

Full conversation just dropped. Episode #1342 on The Ben Azadi Show.

These 9 Foods Repair DNA Damage, Reverse Aging & Kill Inflammation

Your DNA is being damaged right now.

Not because you are sick. Not because something is wrong with you. Every single one of your cells is under constant attack from inflammation, oxidative stress, and blood sugar spikes. And damage is happening every second of every day.

The real question is not whether damage happens. It is how fast your body repairs it.

I sat with that question for a long time. And what I found in the research changed everything about how I eat.
There is a study where 143 heavy smokers were given one of three drinks every day for four months: decaffeinated green tea, black tea, or water. Researchers measured a marker in their urine called 8-OH-DG, basically a fingerprint of how much DNA damage was happening inside their bodies. After four months, one group saw a 31 percent drop in that marker. The black tea group saw nothing. The water group saw nothing. Just the green tea group.

A third of their measurable DNA damage, gone. From a single daily cup of tea.

That is just food number one.

In the latest episode, I break down nine foods that human studies have shown to lower inflammation, protect your DNA, and support your body's built-in repair systems. One of these is a small fuzzy fruit that does something researchers described as dual protection: it reduces DNA damage and actually stimulates the repair machinery that fixes DNA that is already broken. Another activates a master switch inside your cells called NRF2 that teaches your body to make its own protective enzymes.

None of these foods are expensive. None of them require a special diet. And I show you exactly how to fit all nine into one completely normal day.

Doctors Got It Wrong... How I Would Use Aspirin to Unclog Arteries

Most people think a heart attack happens when an artery slowly gets clogged until it finally closes.
That's not what happens.

Roughly 70% of heart attacks occur in arteries that were less than 50% blocked. The person felt fine. The stress test came back clean. And then, out of nowhere, a life-changing event.

What actually triggers most heart attacks is a clot. Soft, inflamed plaque buried in the artery wall ruptures. Platelets rush in. A clot forms in seconds, not years. And that clot is what blocks the artery.

That's also why the aspirin conversation got so confusing.

For the right person, with real plaque and real risk, aspirin can genuinely help by making platelets less sticky before a rupture turns into a catastrophe. Pooled trials show it cuts the risk of a second heart attack or stroke by around 19 to 20%.

But for someone at low risk with no documented plaque, the bleeding risk may quietly outweigh any benefit. Same pill, same dose, totally different outcome depending on what's actually happening inside your arteries.

And here's what nobody said out loud during the headline chaos: aspirin does absolutely nothing about the environment that built the plaque in the first place. It doesn't touch blood sugar. It doesn't touch insulin. It doesn't touch inflammation. It manages the consequence. The cause is still there.

In this episode, I break down how heart attacks actually happen, why the aspirin guidance really changed, the one test you need to know your actual cardiovascular risk, and exactly what I would do starting tomorrow if a scan showed plaque in my arteries.
