Summary

Quantum Biology for Women over 40 and metabolic flexibility could be the missing keys to lasting fat loss, better hormones, and more energy. In this episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast , Lisa sits down with bestselling author Ben Azadi to unpack why staying in ketosis year-round may not be the healthiest strategy. Ben explains metabolic flexibility, how insulin resistance develops, why most Americans are stuck burning sugar instead of fat, and how cycling in and out of ketosis can improve long-term health. They also discuss intermittent fasting, protein needs for women over 40, muscle preservation, GLP-1 medications, autophagy, insulin sensitivity, creatine, and why metabolic health matters more than simply losing weight. Ben shares his practical 5-1-1 Keto Flex protocol , beginner fasting recommendations, and simple strategies anyone can start using to improve hormone health, longevity, and body composition. 👉 Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/ , and follow @lisafischersaid for more.
