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.Christopher J. Stadtherr, MD is a board-certified physician in Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine, with expertise in nutrition and metabolic health. He practices metabolic medicine in a direct primary care (DPC) model out of Gig Harbour, WA, USA and is committed to helping his patients reverse their diabetes, improve their metabolic health, and avoid the myriad complications that necessitate hospitalization.CONSULT DR MAXInitial consult - https://www.drmaxgulhane.com/offers/5jfDvLyH/checkoutSUPPORT MY WORK🥩 WOLKI FARM - Regenerative beef shipped around AUS.
