Ben Azadi
About this episode

What happens if you eat a whole avocado every day for 7 days? Ben Azadi breaks down the day-by-day transformation your body experiences—from fat-burning activation to hormone balance, brain performance, and fat redistribution. Learn how this nutrient-dense fruit can help stabilize blood sugar, flatten your stomach, and improve metabolic flexibility.

🗓️ Timeline of Benefits:

  • Day 1 – Nutrient Activation Mode
  • ✅ Oleic acid reduces inflammation & supports fat burning
  • ✅ 10g fiber improves gut health & satiety
  • ✅ 2x potassium of a banana helps balance sodium, reduce bloat & lower blood pressure
  • ✅ B vitamins & phytosterols support adrenals and lipid profile


  • Day 2 – Electrolyte Reset & Craving Control
  • ✅ Cravings drop as potassium accumulates
  • ✅ Leptin (satiety hormone) up, Ghrelin (hunger hormone) down
  • ✅ Feel leaner, wake up with a flatter stomach


  • Day 3 – Insulin Balance & Fat Adaptation
  • ✅ Monounsaturated fats improve glucose uptake
  • ✅ Reduced post-meal glucose spikes → less insulin needed
  • ✅ Fat burning accelerates & energy stabilizes


  • Day 4 – Mood Upgrade & Brain Boost
  • ✅ Dopamine & serotonin support from B6 & folate
  • ✅ Magnesium enhances sleep and mood
  • ✅ Less anxiety, better focus, smarter food decisions


  • Day 5 – Hormone & Adrenal Rebalance
  • ✅ B5 helps buffer cortisol (anti-stress vitamin)
  • ✅ Cortisol belly begins to shrink
  • ✅ Improved HPA axis communication


  • Day 6 – Fat Loss Acceleration
  • ✅ Significant reduction in visceral belly fat
  • ✅ Improved leptin sensitivity
  • ✅ Less fat storage from insulin spikes


  • Day 7 – Metabolic Momentum
  • ✅ Cravings down, energy up, waistline tighter
  • ✅ Enhanced metabolic flexibility
  • ✅ Glucose control & liver detox improve
