Regenerative Health with Max Gulhane, MD 96. Are you Loaded with Visceral Fat? Why it Matters & How to Reverse It | Chris Stadtherr, MD
We dig into why visceral fat drives disease risk, how to spot it on sight and imaging, and the levers that shrink it without losing muscle. We map a practical plan across food, fasting, light, stress, and training, and weigh GLP-1s and surgery against lifestyle-first care.
