As we age, signs like swollen joints, puffiness, lethargy, and reduced sharpness may indicate chronic inflammation tied to visceral fat, the “hidden fat” deep in our organs. Focusing solely on visible subcutaneous fat can overlook metabolic dysfunction in lean individuals. Addressing visceral fat reveals key drivers of health, paving the way for longevity and optimal well-being.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we bring you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with experts on the dangers of visceral fat. Dr. Sean O’Mara delves into the risks associated with visceral fat, the foods and lifestyle factors that contribute to its production, and actionable steps to lower visceral fat levels to prevent chronic disease and extend lifespan. Dr. Ana Claudia Rosa highlights the lifestyle factors that increase visceral fat and offers strategies to reverse its percentage in the body. Dr. Manickam Palaniappan (Dr. Pal) discusses the unique challenges of belly fat and visceral fat within the South Asian population, explaining why individuals in this group should be cautious—even if they have a "normal" lipid profile and are not classified as obese by traditional standards. If you're seeking a deep dive into visceral fat and practical ways to reduce your risk of chronic disease, this episode is for you.
