Why Where You Carry Fat Matters More Than Weight for Insulin Resistance

from The Wellness Rhythm Show

Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park explore why fat location—not just total weight—determines your metabolic health and insulin resistance risk, revealing how visceral fat wrapped around your organs behaves completely differently from subcutaneous fat and drives systemic inflammation. They break down the science of "TOFI" (Thin Outside, Fat Inside), explain why stress and poor sleep preferentially build dangerous internal fat stores, and share the specific, evidence-backed interventions that disproportionately reduce visceral fat even with modest lifestyle changes. You'll walk away understanding that the scale is nearly meaningless for metabolic health, and what actually matters is consistently targeting the habits that shift where your body stores fat.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show:  ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow  📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com  Powered by VoxCrea.AI
