Ben Azadi spent 90 straight days eating nothing but beef, eggs, butter, salt, and organ meat. No vegetables, no fruit, no fiber, no carbs. Then he tested everything.
His cholesterol numbers would have sent most doctors into a panic. His total cholesterol hit 434. His LDL hit 350. But when one of the world's top heart surgeons reviewed the full panel, the verdict was clear: his cardiovascular risk had actually improved.
Then the gut results came in. After 90 days of zero plants and zero fiber, his gut microbiome diversity went up. Not down. Up.
In this episode, Ben walks through everything: the adaptation period, the body composition changes, the full blood work breakdown with board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia, the gut microbiome reveal with Dr. Will DiPaolo and Dr. Daniel Pompa, and what the science actually says about cholesterol, red meat, and the human body.
If you've ever been told that saturated fat will kill you, that LDL is the enemy, or that you need fiber to have a healthy gut, this episode will make you question all of it.
Key takeaways:
-
Lost 16 pounds and 6% body fat in 60 days
-
Heart rate variability, sleep quality, and glucose all improved
-
Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio hit 1.0, a marker of near-zero insulin resistance
-
Gut diversity, keystone bacteria, and core bacteria all increased on zero plants
-
LDL on its own is one of the worst predictors of actual cardiovascular risk
