#816 The 7 Fruits That Burn Fat & Fight Cancer with Ben Azadi

If you’re looking to get rid of stubborn fat, especially around your belly so you can be beachbody and bikini body ready for the summer, then I have 5 easy things to do to burn body fat FAST. You’re going to find yourself at outdoor events such as the beach, pool and BBQ’s more often during the summer. I remember avoiding these events as much as possible because I was obese, and the last thing I wanted was to be seen in a swimsuit. I was able to lose serious weight and overcome obesity, and now I find myself without a shirt feeling confident. I achieved this by following these 5 easy steps. The first step is in your protocol to walk after your biggest meal of the day. Ideally, the meal with the most carbohydrates.  The second step in your protocol is no food at least 3 hours before bed. One of the fastest ways to create inflammation, weight gain and rapid aging inside your body is to eat before bed.  The third step in your protocol is to have an eating window of between 8am - 2pm. This is called early time restricted feeding. The fourth step is to have apple cider vinegar right before your meals. There’s a ton of research showing acv boosts metabolism, suppresses appetite, and reduces fat storage.  The fifth and final step is to start your meals with protein, fat and fiber, and eat the carbohydrates after. 🥑 Get your Keto Recipe of the Week here:  http://www.ketokamprecipes.com  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  ⭐ Bioptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough.

Today, I am blessed to have Leah Brueggemann here with me. She is a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner with a passion for holistic wellness. As a musician, wife, and devoted mother to the most energetic little boy, she is dedicated to educating others on achieving optimal hormonal health. In this episode, Leah emphasizes that a balanced foundation is crucial for hormonal health rather than solely focusing on hormone levels. She suggests addressing mineral deficiencies, which can disrupt hormones even if blood tests appear normal. Hair tissue mineral analysis is recommended to assess mineral levels. Additionally, Leah highlights the importance of blood sugar regulation for hormone function, recommending a balanced diet with protein, fat, and fiber at every meal. She emphasizes stress management through deep breathing and meditation techniques to regulate the nervous system and promote hormonal health. Later, Leah dives into the menstrual cycle; it’s a rhythm, but women try to fit it into a man's 24-hour cycle. This mismatch causes problems like fatigue and low progesterone. The cycle has four phases: period, follicular, ovulation, and luteal. Each phase has different hormonal balances and calls for different lifestyle approaches. Women can optimize their health and well-being by understanding these phases and aligning with them. Here are some tips for each phase: Period: Rest and reflect. Don't push yourself with workouts or demanding tasks. Follicular: Be creative, social, and build muscle. You're more sensitive to insulin during this time. Ovulation: Collaborate, be gutsy, and take risks. You're at your peak power. Luteal: Nurture yourself. Prioritize rest and relaxation. Focus on tasks that require less energy..

There are two primary causes of weight gain and cancer… Oxidative stress  leading to cell membrane inflammation Lack of oxygen  Cancer cells grow fast. This often causes tumours to outgrow the reach of their surrounding vascular system. This results in decreased oxygen availability, called hypoxia. 'This lack of oxygen triggers several processes that promote metastasis,'  Always buy organic when possible.  If non organic, rinse the fruit with baking soda and water, pour out the water.  Text me the words "Podcast" +1 (786) 364-5002 to be added to my contacts list.  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  ⭐ Jaspr Air Purifying Machine: The Ferrari of air purifying machines.

Today, I am blessed to have Mary Ruddick here with me. Dubbed the "Sherlock Holmes of Health" for her unique ability to expeditiously assess and remediate rare neuromuscular conditions that others have deemed impossible, Mary Ruddick can regularly be found endangering herself in the untouched corners of the world to learn from and distill the wisdom from the last remaining traditional cultures.  She shares her findings and knowledge via her sought after keynote speeches, 100+ podcast appearances, her published articles, and her work both in front and behind the camera.  In this episode, Mary argues that traditional diets, which universally include animal products, have supported excellent health in indigenous communities worldwide. She contrasts this with modern, often vegan, diets promoted in Western societies, which she associates with a rise in diseases. Mary highlights the historical mishandling of certain foods, such as corn, leading to widespread nutritional deficiencies like pellagra due to a lack of proper processing knowledge. She suggests that many modern health problems arise from nutritional misunderstandings and a failure to acknowledge the benefits of animal-based diets. Despite recognizing the temporary benefits of vegan diets, Mary warns that they lack the nutrients needed for health and rebuilding the body. Tune in as Mary explains that H. pylori is a necessary bacterium that should ideally reside on the tips of the villi in a healthy gut, but damage to the microbiome and villi can cause it to migrate into cracks, leading to problems. She critiques current stool-based microbiome testing as limited, noting that while diverse diets correlate with healthier microbiomes, this relationship is oversimplified. Mary emphasizes the significant impact of lifestyle factors like light exposure and stress on the microbiome and highlights how other cultures have long integrated microbiome considerations into medical practices.

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Cate here with me. Cate Shanahan, MD, “The Energy Guru,” is a Cornell-trained physician-scientist whose works have inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live-culture ferments, and seed oil-free business empires. Together with NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the LA Lakers PRO Nutrition program, which has been emulated by elite championship teams around the world. She has dedicated her career to exposing the truth about a decades old campaign of health misinformation and opening the door to an honest conversation about how anyone can reclaim their health. She runs a health-education website, DrCate.com, a telehealth practice, and lives with her family on a peaceful lake in Florida. In this episode, Dr. Cate explains the negative impact of vegetable oils on our health. These oils, such as soy, corn, and canola, differ chemically from traditional fats, leading to cellular degeneration, inflammatory diseases, and premature aging. Dr. Cate elucidates how unstable fatty acids in vegetable oils react with oxygen, generating toxins that harm our mitochondria and alter body fat composition, complicating weight management. She discusses the intricate process of oil extraction and refining, which produces harmful byproducts that can cause inflammation and organ damage. Tune in as Dr. Cate explains how vegetable oils have permeated the average grocery store, appearing in condiments, preserved vegetables, frozen foods, and prepared meals. She dives into how these oils contribute to weight gain by altering metabolism and fuel utilization. Dr. Cate describes how cells, unable to efficiently burn body fat due to the presence of vegetable oils, rely more on sugar for energy, leading to increased hunger and potential muscle breakdown. She empowers individuals to make healthier choices and regain control of their metabolic health through practical strategies like ordering food cooked in butter.

Today, I am blessed to have Zane Griggs here with me. Zane Griggs has been helping people improve their metabolic health and fitness as a personal trainer since 1998. He is the host of the Healthy A.F. / Healthy After Fifty podcast, where he discusses practical strategies for unlocking optimal health and longevity. He also provides group coaching to the community in the Healthy AF Club. Zane’s focus is to empower people to take charge of their health through the lifestyle decisions they make every day. In this episode, Zane argues that the rise in metabolic diseases is closely linked to the increased consumption of processed foods. He emphasizes that these diseases were rare before processed foods, which now constitute 60-70% of the average American diet, became prevalent. Processed foods, which include refined oils, sugars, and grains, are nutritionally deficient and highly palatable, leading to overconsumption and metabolic dysfunction. He suggests eliminating processed foods should be the first step toward improving health. Tune in as Zane underscores the necessity of strength training for fat loss, as it enhances insulin sensitivity and builds lean muscle mass, which serves as a storage for glucose. This process helps in managing blood sugar levels and reversing weight gain. He advises integrating strength training into a routine, suggesting two to three sessions per week for beginners and complementing it with light cardio post-strength training for optimal results.
