The Hidden Danger: Why Fat You Can't See Matters Most | Episode 72
Manage episode 499804283 series 3652230
The most dangerous fat in your body isn’t the kind you can pinch—it’s the hidden visceral fat wrapped around your vital organs. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we reveal how visceral fat acts like a rogue endocrine organ, releasing inflammatory chemicals that disrupt your metabolism, fuel chronic inflammation, and raise your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer.
You’ll learn why BMI often misses the danger, how the TOFI (Thin Outside, Fat Inside) phenomenon puts seemingly lean people at risk, and the waist measurements and lab markers that give a more accurate picture of your metabolic health. Most importantly, we share evidence-based strategies for reducing visceral fat—from diet changes and targeted exercise to improving sleep and lowering stress.
If you’re ready to take control of your metabolic health from the inside out, this episode will give you the tools to start today.
