Podcasts about visceral fat

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women nationwide, yet during midlife—the crucial time for prevention—many women fall out of regular medical care.Host Dr. Rachel Pope is joined by Dr. Lisa Larkin, an internal medicine and women's health expert and founder of Ms. Medicine. They discuss why women's cardiovascular risk spikes around menopause and what you can do about it now.The Midlife Risk SpikeDr. Larkin highlights a failure in the healthcare system: women aged 40 to 60 often receive the least medical care, right when prevention is most critical.The perimenopausal transition causes rapid and significant metabolic changes: Cholesterol rises and HDL protection declines. Development of insulin resistance. Increase in visceral fat (the "risky fat" around organs), which is a marker for cardiovascular disease.Standard risk tools often underestimate risk in women because they don't account for sex-specific factors like adverse pregnancy outcomes (preeclampsia, gestational diabetes). Women are also often allowed to run higher blood pressures, missing opportunities for early intervention.Management & The "Missed Boat" QuestionDr. Larkin stresses that Body Composition is more important than BMI, as most women gain risky visceral fat during this time. She recommends tracking body composition annually.For women in their mid-60s who ask if they've missed the boat on prevention or Hormone Therapy (HT): Assessment is Key: Dr. Larkin performs a highly individualized assessment, often utilizing a Coronary Calcium Score to check for established plaque. If Risk is Low: A patient with perfect health metrics and a Calcium Score of zero may still be a candidate for HT to treat symptoms and support bone health. If Risk is High: The priority is to aggressively fix every single risk factor (hypertension, elevated lipids) before considering hormones, as established plaque may carry more risk with estrogen.Dr. Larkin emphasizes that women must be their best advocates because the healthcare system is currently failing to provide the comprehensive care needed during this pivotal stage of life.

Dr. William Li, a world-renowned physician and scientist, discusses the power of food as medicine and its profound influence on health, including its ability to repair DNA, starve cancer cells, and boost the body's five natural defense systems. Drawing on his extensive research, he reveals how everyday dietary choices can activate healing mechanisms like angiogenesis, regeneration, and immunity, providing actionable insights to optimise metabolism, fight disease, and support longevity KEY TAKEAWAYS: Food acts as medicine by activating the body's five health defense systems: angiogenesis (blood vessel health), regeneration (stem cells), the microbiome, DNA protection, and immunity. The focus should be on adding health-boosting foods you enjoy, such as broccoli sprouts, blueberries, kiwi, and tree nuts, rather than restrictive dieting, as nutritional diversity is key to supporting these defense systems. Simple, consistent dietary changes can rewire your metabolism and help the body regulate sugar, manage inflammation, and burn fat, often reducing reliance on medication. Certain plant-based foods contain bioactives like lycopene (in tomatoes) and polyphenols (in tea and berries) that are critical for supporting the gut microbiome TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: 02:06 What people get wrong about fat loss 04:28 How food can activate the body's healing defense systems. 07:48 Dr. Li's research-based meal plan 10:16 Discussion of foods that lower inflammation VALUABLE RESOURCES ⁠Join The High Performance Health Community⁠ ⁠Click here⁠ for discounts on all the products I personally use and recommend A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: Full episode link https://lnk.to/EP508  ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the critical health impacts of visceral fat, which is the hidden fat around the organs, and its role in accelerating heart aging. Drawing from recent research conducted by the Medical Research Council and published in the European Heart Journal, she explains how visceral fat differs from subcutaneous fat and its association with inflammation, heart diseases, and premature aging. The episode also highlights the importance of exercise, diet, particularly low-carb intake, and hormone replacement therapy in managing visceral fat and reducing health risks. Leyla also shares practical dietary advice and underscores the significance of focusing on fat distribution over total body weight for better health outcomes.

The most dangerous fat in your body isn't the kind you can see—it's the kind you can't. In this episode, Amy Hudson and Dr. Fisher explain why strength training is the best way to eliminate visceral fat. They cover why visceral fat is so dangerous, how to tell if you're at risk, and the proven strategies to fight back with strength training and nutrition. Tune in to learn how strength training, smarter nutrition, and simple lifestyle choices can lower inflammation, improve body composition, and protect your health for years to come. Dr. Fisher starts by differentiating visceral and subcutaneous fat. Subcutaneous fat sits right under the skin, while visceral fat builds up around vital organs.  Amy explains why visceral fat is called “toxic fat.” It doesn't just sit quietly in your body—it releases pro-inflammatory cytokines that mimic an infection or injury response. This keeps your body in a harmful state of constant inflammation. Is it possible to control where you gain fat? Dr. Fisher highlights that you can't choose where fat goes, but you can control how much total fat you carry. Why age makes visceral fat worse. According to Dr. Fisher, a younger person may carry extra weight with less visceral fat, but as decades pass, that internal fat tends to build up.  How to estimate your visceral fat levels. A simple check is comparing your waist to your height—if your waist is more than half your height, it may signal too much visceral fat. Amy and Dr. Fisher agree that strength training is a game changer for visceral fat. It helps lower visceral fat, improve metabolism, and reshape your body composition. Dr. Fisher highlights how strength training fights inflammation. It reduces fat stores and directly combats the harmful cytokines visceral fat releases. That means lifting weights is about more than muscle—it's about protecting your internal health. Why strength matters more than the scale. Research shows that stronger people, even if overweight, often have inflammation levels similar to lean, fit individuals. Building strength protects you even when weight loss feels slow. Amy explains the power of small lifestyle choices. By improving nutrition and adding resistance exercise, you reduce visceral fat, cut down inflammation, and preserve muscle.  Why exercise is about more than fat loss. Amy points out that training lowers overall inflammation, not just body fat. This helps set you up for healthier years ahead, no matter your current size. Learn about the “skinny fat” phenomenon. Even lean-looking people may carry hidden visceral fat, which is just as dangerous as visible obesity. That's why strength training and good nutrition matter for everyone, regardless of appearance.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Visceral fat, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction are driving the chronic disease epidemic—and yet, they're still misunderstood. In this compelling conversation, former FDA commissioner Dr. David Kessler, MD, explains why he believes visceral adiposity is the greatest public health failure of our lifetime.Dr. Kessler brings decades of experience (as a pediatrician, legal expert, policy leader, and author of “The End of Overeating” and “Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine”) to explore how ultra-formulated foods impact our biology, why GLP-1 drugs are only a short-term tool, and how we've misunderstood addiction when it comes to food. He also opens up about his own struggles with weight gain and metabolic health, despite having all the professional knowledge and discipline in the world.This interview covers:The link between processed food, dopamine, and metabolic diseaseWhy insulin—not just glucose—should be front and centerThe role of ketogenic and lower-carb diets for people with visceral fat or food addictionWhat went wrong with the dietary guidelinesAnd what it will take to reverse course and reclaim our healthIf you're a clinician, researcher, or someone navigating your own metabolic journey, this conversation is compelling viewing. Dr. Kessler doesn't offer easy answers, but he does help clarify where the real problem lies and how we might begin to fix it.Expert Featured:Dr. David Kessler, FACHEResources Mentionedhttps://www.amazon.com/Diet-Drugs-Dopamine-David-Kessler-ebook/dp/B0D33Y6L42/Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources at https://metabolicmind.org/About us:Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health.

In this episode, I share my full DEXA scan results, including a visceral fat score of 0.38 pounds, which I’m determined to drop to “0.0 fricking zero” through sprinting—shown in research to preferentially burn visceral fat. My body fat is 21 pounds (12.5%), and I break down the fat and lean mass distribution throughout my body, including minor asymmetries. I was advised to gain 2–3 pounds of muscle for longevity, though my sprinting and high jump goals favor staying lean. I discuss why chronic endurance training can increase visceral fat due to cortisol overproduction, while short, explosive workouts like sprints or strength training create a healthy stress response. You’ll also learn why bone density suffers in cyclists and astronauts, what makes muscles a glucose sink, why Dr. Ron Sinha and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon emphasize maintaining muscle as the key to long-term health and metabolic flexibility, and I end the show with a plug for muscle-centric medicine—focusing on building and maintaining muscle as the key to longevity and leanness. TIMESTAMPS: There are three types of body fat. Brown fat is what cold therapy tends to activate. [01:07] The viseral fat collects in and around the abdominal organs and is extremely health destructive. [03:05] Testosterone replacement therapy is popular however one can also choose to focus on lifestyle optimization before you consider it. [04:20] The accumulaition of viseral fat is a sign that the body's fat storage systems have become overwhelmed. [10:34] Subcutaneous fat is soft and squishy. [12:38] The DEXA scan can examine the inside of your body. Sixty-eight percent of Americans are classified as overweight or obese. [13:31] If you have competitive goals, your body is going to respond to the training stimulus and create the body that is optimal for what you are doing to it. [22:40] For endurance training for a marathon or Ironman Triathlon, you to store visceral fat. [26:47] Our hectic stressful life causes a chronic overproduction of stress hormones. [28:41] More summary of the DEXA scan shows bone density, the weight of the skeleton, and how the viseral fat surrounds your organs. [30:01] The Tour de France cyclists lose bone density because they are sitting on their bikes instead of doing weight bearing exercise. [31:54] One can check out you viseral fat score by measuring your waistline. People have experimented with changing their body weight in a single day. [35:48] Focus on muscle mass.

The hosts explain how lack of sleep messes with your hunger signals, making you way hungrier the next day while your metabolism slows down - it's like your body is working against you. But here's the good news: Dr. Scott and Tommy share simple, practical tips you can use tonight to fix your sleep.

You've been told butter is bad — but what if it's one of the most powerful fat-burning foods on the planet? In this episode, I bust the biggest myths about butter, saturated fat, and cholesterol... and break down the 6 top foods that actually help you burn stubborn belly fat, balance your hormones, and lower inflammation fast. If you're struggling with weight loss resistance, constant hunger, or hormone imbalances, this episode is packed with simple, actionable tips — plus a 30-day fat loss plan to jumpstart your results.

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.
