## Resource

Big Show Announcement Starting July 6th, the podcast gets a complete makeover — three shows a week, each with a distinct purpose. The new weekly lineup: Metabolic Monday — Ben sits down with top experts in metabolic health (doctors, researchers, the people moving the needle). Every episode delivers something actionable you can use that same day. Transformation Tuesday — The tables get turned. Ben's friend Alex Montalenti interviews Ben. No script, no agenda — a heart-based conversation about the stuff Ben doesn't usually discuss: the real journey, the setbacks, the mindset. Freedom Friday — Ben and Alex go deep again, heart to heart, on what freedom really means: metabolic freedom, financial freedom, time freedom. What else is changing: Ads cut by 75% — far fewer interruptions. Two places to listen only: the audio podcast (wherever you're listening now) and Spotify video. No longer on YouTube as of July 6th — if that's where you usually watch, follow the show on audio or follow Ben on Spotify so you don't miss anything. Bottom line: New format, fewer ads, more of the conversations that matter. Mark July 6th — Metabolic Monday, Transformation Tuesday, Freedom Friday.
