Ben Azadi (0:00)

You know, when you get clear on your why, your highest values are your why, which is unique to you. Once your why is clear, the how becomes easier.

Not easy, but easier. And it's gonna keep you going when you're getting punched in the face.

Because Mike Tyson said it best. He said, everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face, right? So you could have a structure, but once you get punched in the face, you're at an event, and there's all this food, there's temptation, there's peer pressure. What are you going to do? Well, if you're clear, clear on your why, why do you want to get healthy?

Ben Azadi (1:52)

Siim, I'm grateful to be here with you brother. Thanks for having me.

Siim Land (1:55)

Yeah, yeah. It's good to connect and I'm interested in talking about like what's the deal with being a health detective. Like that's a really cool nickname.

How did you come up with that?

Ben Azadi (2:11)

Yeah. So I came up with that name over the years through my training with FDN Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and they started to teach me when I started to get into that training to investigate when you're working with a client what is causing dysfunction in the body. What is causing interference in the body of your client? Why are they not healing?

So what I have been doing ever since I learned that is investigating with the client what is going on? What's the interference? So once we identify that like a detective, we remove that interference, we remove the dysfunction and then all of a sudden the body starts functioning the way that it was designed to function and as you talk about a lot, the body is designed to thrive. It's designed to have high levels of energy and focus and fat burning and as long as you could identify like a detective that interference, the body will heal itself. So that's where it came about. I started calling myself the health detective and a lot of people appreciate that name.

Siim Land (3:09)

Yeah, like it is true in a way that your body is like a system and you do have to kind of in order to be successful with your health, you do have to kind of have some, at least some basic understanding about how it functions and how does the metabolism work and how does the different nutrients affect it and yeah, like how do you combine them together? So it is true in a way that and especially like in the modern world, like there's so much like conflicting information about everything and therefore you do have to have even like more advanced like investigation skills to kind of decipher that information and make more sense of it.

Ben Azadi (3:47)

Yeah, exactly. And you know, you just inspired me to also share it because when I do like meet with a new client and I'm asking them their health history, it's like an investigation. I'm asking them, hey, have you ever lived near a golf course or by a highway? Do you have silver fillings? Have you ever lived lived in a house before 1978 because we know that it has lead paint most likely? Have you ever wore contact lenses where you vaccinated? It's asking all these questions to determine what has filled their stress bucket so we could identify it and then remove that stress.
