If your gut isn't dialed in, then nothing else works the way that it should. Your immune system, your energy, your performance, your mental health, all of it starts in the gut. Did you know that 99.9% of probiotics are dead before they ever reach your gut? That's why I want to tell you about Just Thrive Probiotic. The simple truth, most probiotics on the market are dead before they ever reach your gut and you're wasting your money, but Just Thrive is completely different. It contains four clinically studied spore-based strains that actually survive the journey and make it to your gut intact. Enhanced nutrient absorption, reduced bloating and a seriously fortified immune system. And remember, 80% of your immunity is rooted in your gut. I have a special offer for all of my listeners from Just Thrive today. When you start a 90-day probiotic subscription, you'll get a free 90-day supply of their new Digestive Bitters.

So as you can see, I am in The Coolest Studio. I've been in a lot of studios, a lot, and this is by far The Coolest Studio for a variety of reasons. But I am down here in Miami, one of the other favorite places in the world that I have. But my friend here, I cannot say enough about everything about him and what he has done and what he's doing. You've seen him on my show before when his first book came out, which was one of my favorite books and I have put so many people on it and tried my best to get everybody to read it. What you taught in that book, Metabolic Freedom, it changed so many lives, it helped me, helped so many people I love. That's why I was so excited when I got the invite to come down here and hang out with you and know that you have a new one coming out.
My friend is a best seller. He has a plaque in here from YouTube, which is just blinding on how amazing it is. Million subscribers and one of, if not the best YouTube channels, not just in the hell space, in all space. And the resonation that I share with you and what you've taught me and given to me that's given me the ability to be better than so many other people, I can't say enough. The new book is called KETOFLEX, July 21st. I was blessed to have an early copy, but this is another life-altering book.
You guys know who I'm with, but I'm going to give him an intro. Anyway, my friend Ben Azadi.

**Ben Azadi** (3:02)
Thank you for that amazing intro. My friend Dylan, welcome back to Miami. Thanks for coming to the studio.

**Dylan Gemelli** (3:08)
Like I said, I was so happy when I got the invite. There was no way that I was going to hesitate to come down here as much as my wife hates me to travel.
I love what you've done here. I love what you do. You deserve all of this and more. And I just can't wait to learn more about your new book and different things that you're doing right now. So I'm going to get everything out of you that I can today. My friend.

**Ben Azadi** (3:31)
Let's do it.

**Dylan Gemelli** (3:32)
I'm ready. All right. Well, okay. The first book really changed lives when it came to diet and food and an understanding of so many different aspects of being metabolically flexible.
Before we get into the KETOFLEX, would you just tell everybody what it means to be metabolically flexible and why it is so important?

**Ben Azadi** (3:55)
Yeah. I'll first answer that by showing you what it means when you're not metabolically flexible and why that is not good for you. And so 93% of Americans are metabolically challenged. They have some sort of metabolic dysfunction. That's a high percentage.
Ninety-three out of a hundred people out there are dealing with some sort of metabolic issue. They are metabolically inflexible. And you see it going through the airports. You see it at theme parks. You see it just walking around downtown neighborhoods. And people are unhealthy. Did God design us to be that way, to have all these symptoms? You know, that's not true. God designed the body to be self-healing.
When you're metabolically inflexible, your metabolism has forgotten how to burn stored fat for energy. So you have this sort of dilemma where people have all this extra weight on them. They're obese. They have clearly fat on their face, on their stomach, on their love handles. They have this nasty organ fat, the visceral fat.
