Curious about how Luis teaches? Here is your window into a nutritional teaching about stored trauma, visceral fat, and inflammation. Stored trauma in the body sets off a chain reaction resulting in elevated insulin, putting the body into fat storage mode. Visceral fat becomes an endocrine organ producing protein molecules called cytokines that create an inflammatory response. This process primes the body for carb consumption. Often food is either avoided, or binging is chosen, stressing the body out further.  Stored trauma also creates excess adrenaline that gets filtered through the liver. The metabolites go into the bile resulting in acidic bile that inflames the gut lining. In times of stress many of us turn towards processed foods, and those also contribute to an inflamed gut lining. Chronic inflammation in the gut usually leads to auto immune diseases, chronic illness and weight issues. Interested in learning more?

Visceral fat is not stubborn. It is protective fat stored when the body senses stress. In this episode, Ben explains why cortisol is the true fat-storage switch and walks you through a 30-day protocol to turn it off. You'll learn why calories and workouts are not the real problem, and how hormones like cortisol and insulin control belly fat, inflammation, sleep, and metabolic health. What You'll Learn: Why visceral fat is hormonally driven, not calorie-driven How cortisol and insulin work together to store belly fat The ideal intermittent fasting schedule to lower insulin and cortisol Why eating earlier in the day improves fat-burning sleep The benefits of a weekly 24-hour fast, including autophagy and growth hormone Which foods spike cortisol and must be removed for 30 days The best anti-inflammatory foods and fats to support fat loss How nitric oxide and blood flow unlock visceral fat Why walking is more effective than intense cardio for belly fat The sleep strategies that shut off cortisol at night How minerals help release stored fat and toxins Why your thoughts and gratitude directly impact fat loss hormones FREE GUIDE:  The World's Easiest Breakfast Diet - https://bit.ly/4jeLvFE

In this episode, Ben breaks down why a simple 24-hour water fast can outperform Ozempic for fat loss, metabolic health, and longevity. While Ozempic forces weight loss through slowed digestion and appetite suppression, it also causes muscle loss, reduced metabolism, and hormonal disruption. Fasting, on the other hand, works with your biology to burn fat and heal your body at the deepest cellular level. Ben walks through the hour-by-hour changes that happen during a 24-hour fast — from insulin dropping within the first four hours, to visceral fat mobilizing at fourteen hours, to autophagy and growth hormone peaking at twenty-four hours. He explains how fasting naturally boosts metabolism, protects muscle, reduces inflammation, supports mitochondrial function, and repairs the gut and digestive system. You'll learn the exact protocol for a safe 24-hour fast, what to drink, how to break it properly, and the common fasting mistakes to avoid. Ben also answers listener questions about stress, supplements, nausea, cold sensitivity, and the best time of day to start a fast for maximum results. The message is clear: Ozempic suppresses. Fasting heals.This episode shows you why fasting is one of the most powerful — and completely free — metabolic tools available.

Visceral fat — the deep fat around your organs — acts like a hormone-producing organ that fuels inflammation, disrupts metabolism, and increases the risk of aggressive endometrial cancer New research shows that fat activity, not fat amount, predicts cancer severity, meaning even women with moderate weight face higher risk if their fat is metabolically active Chronically inflamed visceral fat releases cytokines, fatty acids, and signaling molecules that promote tumor growth, insulin resistance, and immune suppression, creating a biological environment where cancer thrives You can calm overactive fat by eliminating seed oils, lowering stress hormones like cortisol, and supporting mitochondrial function through healthy carbs, restorative sleep, and natural progesterone balance Restoring metabolic health through consistent, daily habits helps deactivate inflammatory fat, lower cancer risk, and rebuild your body's natural resilience and energy production

In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down a powerful 14-day protocol designed to melt visceral fat without exercise. Even people who eat clean and work out can still store dangerous fat around their liver and organs due to high insulin, liver inflammation, and sluggish mitochondria. Ben explains how this step-by-step plan lowers insulin, unclogs the liver, boosts bile flow, and reactivates mitochondrial fat burning. Listeners will learn how to use a daily insulin reset window, protein-first eating, carb sequencing, the Liver Flush Cup, nitric oxide activation before meals, and a protein-forward day. Ben also covers how to use a mini 20-hour fast, a 10-hour eating window, fat-loss coffee made with olive oil, bitter liver-supporting foods, and nighttime cortisol-lowering rituals. The protocol finishes with a 24-hour fast followed by a strategic carb-refuel to restore leptin sensitivity and break plateaus. By day 14, you can expect better insulin control, reduced liver fat, improved metabolic flexibility, more energy, clearer thinking, and measurable decreases in visceral fat. Ben also answers listener questions about repeating the protocol, how to modify it for keto/carnivore, coffee alternatives, olive oil intake, and why alcohol slows results.

We have to be more careful with our language and ask more clearly - are we aiming for weight loss or fat loss? As they say, it starts at home, so I am going to be using fat loss more often. Because that is actually the main objective, to lose fat, especially toxic, inflammatory visceral fat. But how do we do it? Is it lifestyle medicine or the new GLP-1 agonists or a combination? To explore that and more, I talk to metabolic health expert Dr Saremi.Dr. Adonis Saremi, MD is a triple board-certified expert in Obesity Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Clinical Informatics, with a Master's in Applied Physiology and medical licensure in California.

Send us a textWhole body MRI is changing prevention from a guess into something you can actually see. Dr. Kevin White talks with Dr. Dan Durand, Johns Hopkins trained radiologist and Chief Medical Officer at Prenuvo, about how full body scans are catching silent problems early: from fatty liver and visceral fat to aneurysms, early cancers, and brain changes linked to cognitive decline and dementia. They unpack how Prenuvo's model pairs deep imaging, multiomic data, and real conversations with clinicians so patients do not just get a data dump, but a clear plan for what to do next.“Think of a whole body MRI as a home inspection for your health: you want to find the hidden leaks before the ceiling caves in.” – Dr. Dan DurandYou'll hear: • Why traditional screening only looks at a few organs and what whole body MRI adds • How often Prenuvo finds serious issues early and what that means for real people • The link between visceral fat, brain volume, and long term cognitive health • How AI is being used to measure brain regions, muscle, and fat with precision • Why reassurance from a clean scan can be just as powerful as a life saving catch • How to think about timing, HSA dollars, and making this part of your prevention planLearn more about Prenuvo and their whole body MRI at prenuvo.com.

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.

This episode is brought to you by the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Primal Tallow Balms⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Dr. Mike Ormsbee discusses the critical role of protein in fat loss, the mechanisms behind visceral fat accumulation, and the benefits of pre-sleep protein feeding.

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!

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.

Dr. Scott and Tommy break down why you might be struggling to lose weight despite your best efforts, and it all comes down to one thing most people ignore: sleep.

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.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS June 25th, 2025!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use 'fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! ⁠⁠⁠⁠REGISTER HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠ Click the Link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode reveals how fasting literally shrinks fat cells by keeping insulin low, with Dr. Scott and Tommy breaking down the science behind why 95% of diets fail but fasting succeeds long-term. Discover how consistent fasting can boost your metabolic rate by 300 calories per day - that's 2,100 extra calories burned weekly without additional exercise. Learn the crucial difference between visceral and subcutaneous fat storage, why fructose from drinks creates dangerous belly fat, and how overfilled fat cells become metabolically active troublemakers that block satiety signals. The hosts share why protein must be your priority during eating windows (aim for 40% of your intake), when to shift your eating window earlier in the day for better insulin sensitivity, and how to avoid the "breakfast blunder" that keeps you hungry all day. If you're tired of the diet roller coaster and want a sustainable approach that works with your body's natural fat-burning mechanisms, this episode provides the insulin-focused strategy for lasting results. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.
