Episode notes
Visceral Fat Is Metabolically Active
- Visceral fat is hormonal and actively secretes inflammatory molecules that drive insulin resistance and chronic disease.
- Its effects accumulate slowly, degrading organs and raising long-term morbidity and mortality.
The Scan That Sparked O'Mara's Focus
- Dr. Sean O'Mara shared Dr. C.J. Zeng's self-scan showing heavy visceral fat despite thin external appearance.
- That scan launched O'Mara's deeper focus on visceral fat and clinical imaging.
Muscle Fat Greatly Raises Mortality
- Fatty infiltration of skeletal muscle (myosteatosis) doubles mortality risk compared with obesity alone.
- Muscle fat is strongly associated with visceral fat and predicts worse outcomes.
