CRAZY! Im only 30 lbs over ideal body fat and no one in America would call me fat, yet I’m on the edge of obesity, with MASSIVE health risks! Our standards have gotten so low in America that we have lost perspective of reality!
Thanks for the tips! My fitness journey took a bump in my busy schedule, but it continues, thanks for the motivation!

Fitness journey always continues, we must forgive ourselves for the bumps, and keep on going!
Great video
Fascinating, as Spock would say. I had expected this to be just another insulin video. The idea that the fat distribution in a body modulates metabolic health is a new idea for me. Look forward to hearing more about this as evidence accumulates.
How does this conversation relate to people that had obesity, NAFLD and fatty pancreas but reversed it all, are now borderline underweight, no trace of NAFLD, yet they struggle with high A1C and carb intolerant? What is it about a fatty pancreas that breaks the system? Will it ever be possible to fully reverse and "cure" these conditions?
In relation to body fat composition the best doctor that i have ever seen on youtybe is dr. Sean Omara. He tells a lot about the importance of MRI in identifying adequatelly the visceral x subcutaneous fat

He’s real good at making a 5 minute video go for twenty minutes
Interview Scott Fawcett - you guys rarely mention strategy improvements for the off season and I bet there are some low hanging fruits there (especially for Mikey).
Must interview Dr Sean O’Mara about this topic!!!
I’m 30.. not a big guy. Diet hasn’t been the best(paramedic). Just got Dr with NAFLD. Time to turn it around.
What if your obese and your fat is very high in omega 3. Is it like beneficial
Personal fat threshold. I think I have to stay fairly lean to keep a1c low. Not East Asian, but same body type, short torso.
After listening to Peter Attia, Dr Berg, Dr Ekberg flogs on carbs and blood sugar I went on a keto diet with IF and my trigs are as low as they can go and everything else falls into place to result in ZERIO risk of myocardial infarction
Heart disease is the number one killer of people today and cancer is number two. Being over weight is the number one factor leading to an early death. People who are over weight have higher risks for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Even children today have signs of artery disease. Fast foods and sugary drinks have long term consequences. There is an obesity epidemic today where over 60% of the population is overweight or obese. What is common today and "NORMAL" is not healthy. The average person today is not healthy and is taking medications. Heart attacks were once only common in people over 65. Today people in their 40 are having heart attacks. Add more plants and vegetables to your diet and less junk and overly processed foods

It's not just diet, in fact an even bigger problem is just a general lack of physical activity. More and more people have desk jobs and they don't go to the gym or even take walks. Kids are staying inside and playing video games. You should absolutely clean up your diet, but also get out and do cardio and resistance exercise.

Yeah right. Cancer didn’t even exist before Covid vaccines and the Earth is flat.

I think that’s the concept of a metabolic “bathtub” that he discussed, some people have less wiggle room with fat gain before they start having metabolic problems, they may only have the dangerous visceral fat around their organs.

I have no nutritional qualifications. What do you consider high cholesterol to be. Centenarians all have high cholesterol, and are normally slim. Studies show the higher your cholesterol, the lower your "all cause" mortality will be. Your body makes it because it needs it to repair damage. It's glucose in all its forms that causes the damage, what is more important is, are your triglycerides high?

Being underweight and/or have some specific nutrient deficiencies prompts your body to produce more cholesterol, so what you described is not unexpected. And it doesn't mean your bathtub is too small or is leaking.
