FitFacts with Anmol

Most cancer deaths are avoidable with early detection and metabolic control. In Part 5, Anmol explains why high insulin and visceral fat feed cancer, which tests reveal trouble early, and how liquid biopsies + advanced MRI are shifting the detection timeline. Practical, India-focused, evidence-first.Episode highlights:Metabolic link: why insulin feeds tumours. Tests to order now (fasting insulin, HbA1c, triglycerides, CRP). New detection: ctDNA (liquid biopsy) + multiparametric MRI — what they mean for you.

Fatty liver in a non-drinker? That’s the new normal. In Part 4 of the Longevity series, Anmol explains why modern carbs and fructose are filling Indian livers with fat, how insulin resistance silently destroys metabolic health, and which tests and simple daily habits actually reverse damage. Actionable, evidence-first, India-focused. Episode highlights:NAFLD → NASH progression: what to watch for. Why fasting insulin and ALT reveal trouble earlier than HbA1c. Practical plan: ditch liquid sugar, post-meal walks, strength, sleep.

Heart attacks don’t start in your 50s — they begin asplaques decades earlier. In Part 3 of the Longevity series, I explain why apoB and Lp(a) matter more than LDL, the tests you should get, the exact diet and exercise changes that lower particle exposure, and when medicationssave lives. Actionable, evidence-first, India-focused. Heart Disease PreventionEpisode highlights:Why apoB (particle count) beats LDL-C as a risk marker.Lp(a): who should test and what a high-level means. Practical targets & tests: ApoB, Lp(a), TG, HbA1c, BP, CAC. Diet, exercise, and medicine — an actionable prevention protocol.

In this episode of FitFacts with Anmol, we uncover one of the most overlooked markers in preventive health — homocysteine. Often ignored in standard blood tests, this single molecule can silently signal risks for heart disease, stroke, and cognitive decline, long before symptoms appear. Anmol breaks down the science behind how B vitamins — B12, B6, and folate — regulate homocysteine levels, why deficiencies are increasingly common among Indians and vegetarians, and what simple lifestyle changes can make a difference. You’ll learn about advanced testing methods like MMA and HoloTC, how genetics, diet, and medication (like metformin) affect your levels, and evidence-based ways to restore balance naturally. Backed by research yet explained in simple terms, this episode turns complex biochemistry into actionable health insights — helping you take control of your heart, brain, and overall metabolic health.

In this video you’ll learn:• What diabetes actually means (insulin, resistance, blood sugar) • Key symptoms & warning signs you shouldn’t ignore • How doctors test diabetes (Fasting Glucose, OGTT, HbA1c) — what numbers mean • Evidence-backed steps to manage blood sugar through diet, exercise & sleep • Foods to eat and foods to avoid (simple meal ideas for busy people) • When to see a doctor and what to ask#diabetes #bloodsugar #healthtips #diabetesprevention #diabetesmanagement #healthyaging
