With 93% of Americans now considered metabolically unhealthy, this episode is a wake-up call. The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes Ben Azadi—biohacker and author of the newly released book, Metabolic Freedom: A 30-Day Guide to Restore Your Metabolism, Heal Hormones & Burn Fat. It also explores the top hidden contributor to metabolic dysfunction—heavy metal toxicity—and why the most powerful biohack of all may be your thoughts.

In this inspiring conversation, Ben shares how he transformed his body and mind using ketosis—and why most people are doing keto all wrong. Ann Louise and Ben dive into the real keys to metabolic freedom, including how to test for ketosis (and why one method stands above the rest), the vital role of liver support, and what “metabolic flex days” can do to reset your system.

Ben also opens up about his childhood struggles with obesity and how his health journey lifted him out of depression and into clarity and confidence. According to Ben, we get thousands of chances a day to shift our body toward balance and healing. If you’re looking to boost energy, burn fat, and truly feel good again, this podcast could be your roadmap to metabolic freedom.

Join The First Lady of Nutrition as she engages in a fascinating conversation with Elwin Robinson, the visionary founder of Genetic Insights—a next-level DNA analysis company that's lightyears ahead of the rest. If you’ve ever felt caught in a cycle of symptoms without real solutions, this eye-opening interview will shift your entire perspective on health and healing. Elwin reveals how his team of scientists and AI engineers analyzes over 200 million genetic variations, delivering 500+ in-depth reports covering everything from hormone health and food intolerances to nutrient deficiencies and lab markers in one of the most comprehensive, inexpensive DNA tests on the market today. After interviewing Elwin, Ann Louise took the test herself—and what impressed her most was its ability to pinpoint which nutrients an individual is genetically most deficient in. That is how she knew to take orthomolecular doses of lysine and glycine—and how she was introduced to time-released T3 to support her low thyroid. You’ll discover how small, targeted changes based on your unique DNA can lead to big breakthroughs in your health. Elwin shares compelling real-life success stories that show just how powerful it can be to address even the most basic nutritional gaps. This is the future of personalized wellness—don’t miss it!

Join The First Lady of Nutrition as she sits down with Leo Tonkin, one of the nation’s leading voices on the science and benefits of salt therapy—also known as halotherapy. From its origins in the healing salt mines of Eastern Europe to its modern-day use in thousands of wellness centers across the U.S., this ancient remedy is making a powerful comeback. Ann Louise and Leo get right to the heart of the matter, exploring how dry salt therapy—more absorbent and potent than ocean air or nebulizers—can help improve respiratory health, skin conditions, and immunity. Safe for daily use (even for infants), it has become a go-to for athletes looking to boost lung function and for anyone dealing with asthma, COPD, eczema, acne, or allergies. Tune in to learn the truth about Himalayan salt lamps, what kind of salt is really therapeutic, and how you can create your own pop-up salt booth at home. As Leo explains, breathing clean air isn't just refreshing, it could be the single most important marker of longevity and quality of life.
