🔥 Visceral fat is one of the most dangerous—and most misunderstood—forms of fat.In this episode of the Rare Wellness Podcast, host Dr. Jamie Lewis breaks down what visceral fat is, why it’s far more harmful than subcutaneous fat (what most people think of when they hear "fat"), and—most importantly—what you can do to reduce it using evidence-based strategies.You’ll learn why where fat is stored matters more than how much you weigh, and why two people with the same body weight can have completely different health risks.Key Topics Covered:• Why visceral fat drives chronic inflammation• Its link to insulin resistance and fatty liver disease• How visceral fat disrupts testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol• Why BMI alone is a poor marker of metabolic health• How to assess visceral fat (DEXA, waist circumference, labs)• Proven strategies to reduce visceral fat through sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress management, and targeted therapiesThe good news? Visceral fat is highly responsive to lifestyle change—and often the first fat your body burns when metabolic health improves.🎙️ Hosted by Dr. Jamie Lewis🌲 Sponsored by Center for Regenerative and Performance Medicine👉 Learn more at c4rpm.com👍 If you found this episode helpful, like, comment, and subscribe for more bite-sized insights on longevity, hormones, and regenerative medicine.
