Nutritionist Leyla Muedin, a registered dietician nutritionist, discusses insightful findings from a University of Colorado Boulder study linking later onset menopause to healthier blood vessels and lower heart disease risk. The study, published in the American Heart Association Journal Circulation Research, reveals that women who experience menopause at age 55 or later have a significantly lower risk of heart attacks and strokes in their postmenopausal years compared to those who go through it earlier. Leyla explains the physiological benefits of later menopause, focusing on better mitochondrial function and lower metabolic abnormalities, and emphasizes the potential impact of dietary interventions on women's heart health. The episode highlights the importance of metabolic health and suggests that addressing metabolic abnormalities through a low-carb diet can delay menopause and improve overall vascular and heart health.

Is belly fat just about eating less and moving more? Or is something else going on?   In this episode, I break down why belly fat isn't just a calorie problem—it's a hormone, sleep, and stress problem too. If you've been grinding away at the gym, eating “clean,” and still not seeing results, there's a good chance something deeper is at play.   We'll talk about how stress and cortisol can make you store more fat, why poor sleep leads to cravings and weight gain (even if you think you're getting enough), and how hydration plays a way bigger role than most people realize. I also share what I learned from analyzing 500 sleep trackers—and why so many people are sleeping but not recovering.   Fat loss isn't about suffering through more cardio or cutting more calories. It's about fixing the hidden issues that make your body hold onto fat. Small changes—like managing stress, optimizing sleep, and staying properly hydrated—can make fat loss feel way easier.   Key Takeaways:   Small, consistent changes lead to long-term fat loss rather than quick fixes.   Drinking enough water isn't just about hydration—it's essential for metabolizing and eliminating fat.   Fat loss happens primarily at night, so optimizing sleep is critical for results.   Resources:    8 in 6 Sleep System – Get better sleep in less time https://www.milliondollarbodymethod.com/8in6  _________________________________________ Host Nate Palmer The founder of The Million Dollar Body and Author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been in the industry of coaching over 15 years and has worked with over 1000 clients personally.

Send us a textThis episode delves into effective strategies for reducing visceral fat, a dangerous type of fat that surrounds internal organs and is linked to serious health issues like insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. Unlike subcutaneous fat, which is generally protective, visceral fat can lead to inflammation and disease. The post outlines five research-backed methods to tackle this type of fat: intermittent fasting, sprinting, hippuric acid, Urolithin A, and the ketogenic diet.Intermittent fasting is highlighted for its ability to promote fat loss while preserving muscle mass, making it an efficient method for targeting visceral fat. Sprinting, as a form of interval training, is presented as superior to moderate-intensity exercises for visceral fat reduction. The article also emphasizes the benefits of polyphenols, specifically hippuric acid and Urolithin A, found in high-polyphenol foods, which have shown promising results in reducing visceral fat when combined with a Mediterranean diet.The ketogenic diet is explored through a recent study that demonstrated significant reductions in visceral fat and improvements in quality of life without calorie restriction. Participants experienced weight loss, particularly those with more weight to lose, while maintaining muscle and bone mass. Overall, the post underscores the importance of quality nutrition and suggests that while the ketogenic diet is a powerful tool for fat reduction, starting with a healthy diet is essential, and multiple dietary approaches can lead to success in reducing visceral fat and improving overall health.For full show notes and information: https://healthylifewithandrea.com/blog/8891/torch-visceral-fat-fastReady to address the cause of your health challenges with a long term, natural solution?

In this episode, Ben Azadi, author of Ketoflex and host of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, outlines a seven-step diet plan to reduce visceral fat in 14 days. The first step is to lower insulin levels by swapping carbohydrates for protein and fat. Ben emphasizes that carbohydrates cause the highest blood insulin response compared to protein and fat. He suggests replacing common high-carbohydrate foods, such as oatmeal, cereal, bread, fruit, and potatoes, with cauliflower rice, eggs, red meat, and vegetables. The second step is to stop snacking between meals to avoid disrupting metabolism and preventing the body from burning visceral fat. The third step is to incorporate sprints into a workout routine three times a week, as high-intensity interval training activates hormones that promote fat burning. The fourth step is to eliminate or limit alcohol consumption, as alcohol prioritizes detoxification over fat burning and increases appetite. The fifth step is to walk at least 7,000 steps a day, particularly after meals, to blunt blood sugar spikes and reduce insulin production. The sixth step is to practice intermittent fasting on an 18/6 schedule to lower insulin levels, increase human growth hormone, and promote cellular cleaning through autophagy. The final step is to get 90 minutes of deep sleep each night to activate fat-burning hormones and accelerate fat loss. Ben also recommends measuring visceral fat through a DEXA scan or, more accurately, an MRI.

In today's episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we discuss using fasting as a tool for better health and wellness, sharing their personal transformations and offering actionable advice. We question the effectiveness of Body Mass Index (BMI) in measuring health and advocate using the Body Roundness Index (BRI) and waist-to-height ratio as better indicators of visceral fat, which is linked to higher health risks. We emphasize tapping into long-term fat stores through fasting rather than calorie restriction, which often keeps insulin levels high and doesn't target stubborn fat effectively. We encourage listeners to consistently implement fasting strategies, use more accurate health metrics, and potentially join their programs for support in achieving health goals.

Visceral fat is the white fat around your organs. This shows up visibly on your body in the form of excess belly fat, love handles and extra fat around your hips. Not only is this type of fat visually unappealing, it's VERY dangerous because this fat causes inflammation inside your body leading to chronic disease. I'll be sharing with you the 7 worst things in the world that feed visceral fat and an early death… The first thing is microplastics…. The second thing is high fructose corn syrup. The next item is artificial sweeteners. Next we have alcohol. Next we have Seed oils. Next we have GMO foods with glyphosate.

Today, I am blessed to have Dr. Alan Goldhamer here with me. He is the founder of TrueNorth Health Center, a state-of-the-art facility that provides medical and chiropractic services, psychotherapy and counseling, as well as massage and body work. He is also director of the Center's groundbreaking residential health education program. In this episode, Dr. Goldhamer emphasizes the necessity of fasting as a response to dietary excess, which he identifies as a leading cause of prevalent health issues such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and cancer. He describes visceral fat, which accumulates around the organs, as particularly harmful, likening it to a tumor that secretes inflammatory substances. The modern diet, laden with hyper-concentrated substances like salt, oil, and sugar, tricks the brain into overeating by artificially stimulating dopamine. This leads to widespread obesity and related diseases.  Dr. Goldhamer emphasizes that accurately measuring autophagy, especially minute-by-minute, is extremely challenging due to biological limitations, even in animal studies. While biomarkers can offer a generalized picture of autophagy, developing non-invasive, reliable indicators remains difficult. He underscores that acute responses, necessary for health, complicate precise measurement.

He is a world-renowned physician, scientist, speaker, and author of EAT TO BEAT DISEASE – The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself.  In this episode, Dr. Li explains the significant connection between visceral fat and cancer, emphasizing that advanced cancer treatments are closely tied to our diet and metabolism. He likens cancer cells to normal cells gone rogue, feeding off the body and thriving on inflammation, often fueled by excess body fat. Dr. Li highlights that even supposedly healthy foods, like diet soda and low-fat yogurt, can be detrimental. Artificial sweeteners and emulsifiers in these products disrupt the gut microbiome, increasing inflammation and visceral fat. He advocates for whole foods, such as Greek yogurt with fresh fruits and nuts, and beverages, like iced tea or coffee with beneficial polyphenols, as healthier alternatives that support metabolic health and potentially mitigate cancer growth. Tune in as Dr. Li emphasizes the importance of sleep for health, highlighting that it's rarely taught or discussed. He explains that sleep isn't merely a state of inactivity; instead, it's a time when the body undergoes vital processes like immune system strengthening, toxin clearance from the brain, and metabolic regulation. Dr. Li elaborates on how the brain has a glymphatic system that removes accumulated toxins during quality sleep. He also connects sleep with metabolic health, explaining how our circadian rhythm dictates when our body should store and burn energy. Additionally, he discusses the negative impact of night shifts on metabolism and health, stressing the importance of good sleep hygiene and self-compassion for those who work at night.
