Episode #276
Metabolic Freedom by Ben Azadi
In this episode of Women Petpreneurs Presents Book Club, Mary Oquendo, Denise Heroux, and Sacheen Mobley, review Ben Azadi’s Metabolic Freedom, a book recommended after Michelle Knowles reportedly lost 40 pounds and experienced significant health improvements. The discussion centers on intermittent fasting, keto, individual body chemistry, and the limits of one-size-fits-all diet advice. Mary Oquendo shares her early results with intermittent fasting, dropping eight pounds, while other perspectives in the conversation question whether fasting and keto can work safely for every body. The strongest criticism involves the book’s medical and scientific claims, particularly suggestions about diabetes, insulin resistance, and autoimmune conditions. The conversation ultimately emphasizes caution, qualified medical guidance, and remembering that a strategy that works for one person may create serious problems for someone else.
