In this episode, Ben Azadi exposes the hidden cortisol–insulin loop that keeps millions stuck with stubborn belly fat even when they’re eating clean, fasting, or doing keto. Ben breaks down how visceral fat acts like a hormone factory, absorbing cortisol and driving insulin resistance — creating what he calls the Cortisol–Insulin Death Spiral.

You’ll learn:

• Why visceral fat has 2–3× more cortisol receptors and why belly fat hoards cortisol

• How stress can keep insulin high even with a perfect diet

• The top 3 cortisol traps: the 3 AM cortisol spike, chronic cardio, and over-fasting

• Why long-distance cardio can increase belly fat

• The science behind cortisol-driven glucose dumps

• Simple fixes that rebalance your hormones and restore fat burning

Ben shares practical solutions including stopping food 3 hours before bed, the raw honey + sea salt protocol, post-meal walks, protein balancing, weekly 24-hour fasts, sprinting instead of chronic cardio, and the powerful hormonal benefits of Vitamin G (gratitude).
