[28:35] Mineral Balance and Potassium Requirements in Keto Diets and Coffee Enemas

This emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to health practices, taking into account potential nutrient imbalances that may arise from specific interventions.
- While magnesium often takes the spotlight in discussions about keto diets, Chantel draws attention to the often-overlooked importance of potassium. She emphasizes that, especially on a keto diet, individuals may be losing sodium and potassium, and meeting the daily potassium requirement (approximately 4200 milligrams) is crucial for overall well-being.

This takeaway encourages individuals to think beyond single-room solutions and adopt a holistic approach to ensure consistent and high-quality air throughout the entire living space.
- Lastly, establish limits on fragrances in your home. Prioritize personal health and comfort, even in social situations, by addressing potential sources of discomfort such as strong scents.
[40:10] Fasting Wisdom: Hormesis, Individualized Approaches, and Medication Management
- Chantel Ray introduces the concept of hormesis in fasting, emphasizing the importance of finding the right balance to make fasting truly beneficial. She suggests that both too little and too much stress (in the form of fasting) can be counterproductive, highlighting the need to identify the optimal window for individual health benefits.
- Chantel's experience with thyroid issues during an extended fast underscores the importance of an individualized approach to fasting.
- She stresses the need to consider factors such as medication and existing health conditions, advocating for a personalized fasting strategy that aligns with an individual's unique circumstances.

#1198 They Turned Bread Into a Slow-Burn Toxin- How Modern Wheat Destroys Your Gut, Spikes Insulin, and Triggers Belly Fat (And What to Eat Instead) With Ben Azadi
Bread was once a true superfood that fueled ancient civilizations for thousands of years without causing obesity, diabetes, or widespread gut issues. Today’s bread, however, is a completely different product.
In this episode, Ben explains how modern bread has been industrialized through hybridized wheat, chemical processing, seed oils, and rushed production methods that disrupt digestion, spike blood sugar, inflame the gut, and damage metabolic health.
You’ll learn why gluten isn’t the real problem, how fermentation was stripped from modern bread, and how glyphosate sprayed on wheat impacts gut bacteria, immunity, and mitochondria. Ben also explains why inflammation, not just insulin spikes, is the root cause of belly fat and metabolic dysfunction.
The episode breaks down whether sourdough is truly safe, how to choose better bread options if you eat it at all, and why many people feel better avoiding bread completely while healing their metabolism.
Ben also shares practical strategies to reduce inflammation, improve blood sugar control, and take back control of your health through informed food choices.
Key takeaway: Bread didn’t fail you. The system failed bread. When you respect food again, your metabolism responds.

#1197 The 1 Science-Backed Insulin Reset That Instantly Kills Cravings and Unlocks Rapid Fat Loss With Ben Azadi
In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals why cravings are not a willpower issue, but a hormonal and metabolic problem driven by insulin instability.
Ben explains how insulin spikes shut off fat burning, trigger hunger hormones, increase stress, and fuel uncontrollable cravings, especially at night. He breaks down the science behind insulin, glucose crashes, ghrelin, cortisol, and dopamine-driven eating behaviors.
You’ll learn a simple, science-backed protocol to stabilize insulin first, before calorie restriction, cardio, or fasting, so cravings drop naturally and fat loss becomes automatic.
The episode outlines a practical 7-day reset that helps reduce inflammation, water retention, and stubborn belly fat while restoring metabolic control. Ben also answers common questions about carbs, coffee, artificial sweeteners, protein intake, exercise, fasting, and how to make results sustainable long term.
This conversation reframes fat loss as a metabolic healing process, not a discipline battle, and shows how true metabolic freedom feels calm, empowering, and sustainable.
