Ben Azadi joins Peak Human for a powerful, wide-ranging conversation on what it really takes to reclaim your metabolic health in a world of processed food, misinformation, and identity confusion. As the founder of Keto Kamp and bestselling author of Metabolic Freedom, Ben breaks down the biological and psychological barriers to health—from insulin resistance and the dangers of constant snacking to the mindset shifts required to become someone who actually lives in alignment with vitality and longevity.
Host Brian Sanders and Ben dive deep into topics like fasting, hormone signaling, body recomposition, and the power of intention. This episode is as practical as it is inspiring, offering a blend of science, ancestral wisdom, and self-mastery.
