In another powerful episode of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Episode 151<\/a>, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi welcomes Ben Azadi\u2014bestselling author, metabolic health expert, and founder of Keto Kamp\u2014for a deep dive into the root causes of poor metabolic health and what it truly takes to reclaim your body, mind, and vitality. Ben shares his personal transformation story, going from suicidal, overweight, and inflamed at 250 lbs to thriving in his 40s\u2014lean, healthy, and purposeful. His journey started with ownership and mindset shifts, and evolved into a life\u2019s mission of helping others achieve \u201cmetabolic freedom.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The conversation goes far beyond keto buzzwords. Ben outlines how environmental toxins, not just calories, are driving fat gain and chronic disease, with shocking data about “obesogens” and “diabetogens” found in food, water, and even household items. He also challenges conventional calorie-focused models of weight loss and reveals how addressing hormones and inflammation is the real path to transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben unpacks his strategic use of ketosis\u2014not as a lifelong diet, but as a metabolic tool\u2014alongside the power of fasting, carnivore resets, and metabolic flexibility. His 6-day carnivore + 1-day carb refeed approach gives listeners a fresh model of how to eat and train for longevity and leanness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, the conversation takes a powerful turn into mindset. Ben\u2019s favorite \u201csupplement\u201d? Vitamin G\u2014gratitude. He explains how thoughts shape biology, citing the placebo effect, stress hormones, and genetic expression. He leaves listeners with a compelling call to master their thinking to master their health.<\/span><\/p>\n
