The primary idea is that changing your nutrition can heal both physical and mental health issues by removing interferences that block the body's natural ability to heal itself.

KISMET

While many people associate obesity with visible weight gain, Ben shares that although he was clinically obese at 34% body fat, most people wouldn't have recognized him as such due to his height and body type—suggesting that "hidden obesity" may be more common than we realize.

EPISODE SUMMARY

Ben Azadi shares his journey from being obese, depressed, and suicidal to achieving optimal health by changing his nutrition and mindset. He explains how his severe depression lifted as a side effect of improving his physical health. Ben discusses the concept that our bodies have an innate ability to heal if we remove interferences like high insulin levels, seed oils, and environmental toxins. He emphasizes that changing your self-image is crucial for sustainable health improvements, as "you will never outperform your self-image." Ben reveals how insulin resistance develops 6-14 years before blood sugar problems appear, making fasting insulin testing critical for early detection. He also discusses how restaurants are beginning to return to cooking with natural fats instead of seed oils. The conversation highlights how symptoms are simply the body's "check engine light" signaling something needs attention, rather than problems requiring medication to suppress.
