Ben Azadi: How to Achieve Metabolic Flexibility
With the focus of the show currently on metabolic flexibility, Angela presents a biohack aimed at getting you there sooner. From her marvellous interview with Ben Azadi, the author of ‘Keto Flex’, we look at how you can use keto in the short term to develop metabolic flexibility, and how you become what you think about.
Key Takeaways
- Keto flexing is the premise behind how humans have existed for all time. Every single one of our ancestors has gone through a keto diet in some way due to environmental requirements.
- Many people get hung up on one diet, but the overarching principle is that metabolic flexibility is king. We’re born this way, and yet we spend our lives trying to return to it.
- If other people are the cause of your problems, then it’s unsustainable to think that you can live a carefree existence. Ultimately, we are responsible for our life and happiness.
Best Moments
‘It’s about metabolic flexibility and using keto to achieve that’
‘As soon as I said that I started to make better changes for my life’
‘Keto is just one tool in the shed’
