Important notes 📝 - Cut out processed foods. Eat single ingredient foods ONLY; no exceptions! - Clean foods will remove visceral fats stored around organ tissue over time. Visceral fats will cause inflammation and proportionally reduces the benefits of exercise. A metaphoric anchor that slows physical and aesthetic progress. - Low carb, Atkins diet is a general eating guideline. - Waist circumference is not an indicator of visceral fat, only subcutaneous fat. MRI scab is the only method to find out your composition. You can look skinny but have Fatty liver disease/ high level of Viseral Fat. - Dexa scan gives you numbers, but limited visual information. Not engaging. MRI gives you a brutal image full of data which is much more motivating and tangible to tie purpose to drive action. The MRI doesn't lie. - Processed Foods are rendered less digestible and more inflammatory. Chemicals, oxidation, less nutrients. - Blackheads on your nose is a good biomolecules to indicate how unhealthy. Spiderveins appearing on the legs for women and on the genetals for males is a wakeup call that you are unhealthy/ have high viseral fat. ED is also another biomarker of high Viseral Fat. Lower visceral fat and these areas clear up. - Sunshine, HIIT Sprinting and Sauna increase Nitric Oxide and helps improve cardiovascular health and speed the eliminate visceral fat. - Loosing visceral fat makes you more attractive, energetic and imorove all aspects of life. The rising tide that lifts all the boats in your harbour. - Your health is an undeniable social and business calling card. Instantly tells people your quality of life. - Diet pattern: meat 🍖 centric with veggies and little fruit. Most calories from meat. The guest consumes all veggies and fruit in fermented form. - Fermented veggies and fruits completely eliminates the trace levels of "forever chemicals" that are found on fresh unwashed produce. Produce is rendered in a much safer to consume form. It also has the added benefit of boosting the microbiome for your gut. - the amount of veggies and fruit compared to meat is garnish levels. - Wear gloves/ wash hands around unhealthy people. Make sure to touch and gain the microbes from healthy athletic people. Gain as much contact with athletic or healthy people, hug them, shake their hand. These microbes will influence your decision when making food choices. Your hair is also a nest for your external microbiom. - People who can consume carb heavy foods like fruit, rice or honey is that their microbiom is attuned to consume these foods. If not you'll just store visceral fat. - Antibiotics can ruin your gut microbiome, use with caution. - Don't buy and consume meat that is marbled or that is fed grain. Eat grass fed livestock only. Eating this meat influences your gut microbiome. - Fat from an animal is not the same. Marbled fat on meat is filled with inflammation and diseased. Fat from lean cuts of meat from healthier livestock is way better for you. - Fermented Food examples: Kimchi, Sauerkraut and Pickles. - Stress is a massive contributor to visceral fat. Relax more, work a job you enjoy, not psychologically frett over day in and out. Chronic stress is bad, stress from exercise is desirable. - Sprint 🏃♂️ till your out of breath, max out on push-ups this abates any anxiety or stress and helps you vent a build up of cortisol and stress. Meditate 🧘♂️ and breathing work can work too if you can maintain it for 13 minutes daily for 2 weeks (external info from US army study on meditation). - Hyper-focusing on cholesterol is over marketed, and a complete misdirection from large confectionerycompanies. Visceral fat is the primary marker for health. - Eliminating visceral fat is the #1 impact of avoiding chronic debilitating diseases.
I work in the health care industry and touch unhealthy people all the time. I never get sick. Seems a bit cultish to only touch and hug “fit “ people. That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read.
Agreed! Would love to have the camera zoom in on the images so we can get the visual of what he’s taking about. Other than that, awesome episode, very informative!
It was particularly helpful to have the ipad/screen on the far side of the table, and then have Dr. Sean hold his hand directly in front of the photograph the entire time that he talked about it!
Dear Max, it looks really unprofessional to "hide" the small fotos from the screen of the tablet. I am thankfull for all the informations, but detailed fotos would be much better. Thank you for the future. I heard dr.O'Mara for the third time, the first two for sprinting, this one for the diet to combate the stubborn visceral fat. Thank you so much!
It is amazing how many people are watching this with their ears closed and their eyes closed! Doc is a hottie in general and more so for his age. His life style is proof it works. People need to stop hating and get motivated!
I have been on KETO for 8 months and have lost 60 pounds. It could have been 100 if I had been doing everything right, but I decided to not be obsessed with it. I pigged out on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas day. I felt a little guilty. Let me quantify my guilt. It's around 0.0000000000001%. It's 3 days. Plus maybe one day every month or two. It's a lifestyle. I realize that. But it's not a life sentence.
Thanksgiving dinners are not bad, depends on the quality of ingredients, processed or unprocessed. Think about it, the native americans and pilgrims were not fat bc they cooked fresh quality food.
I’m such a fan of Dr. O’Mara, what an amazing, smart human, a wealth of knowledge ‼️ I’ve watched many of his interviews and still learn something new every time ‼️ And what a pleasure to look at these two handsome men, how can you not take advice from a doctor that look like this, c’mon 😁
Go carnivore! Visceral fat went fast for me, and many health issues reversed with carnivore! Carnivore has healed so much for me! I started off carnivore in hopes to reverse my fibrocystic breast masses that have built up over 6 years eating half a dry skinless chicken breast piece a day with half cup of broccoli and little bit of wheat noodles. We are told don’t eat very much meat- so the world is almost vegan just about. I would eat red canbbage too- cooked it and ate cabbage about 3 times a week. That was about it. So I was mainly chicken, broccoli, and little wheat noodles. So from age 40-46 I started getting all that “aging” health issue mess- and the fibrocystic breast “disease” started and kept building up! When I hit age 46 I was done with it! The fibrocystic masses were getting me scares- and I started getting huge painful breast cysts too! One was around 2” long and 1” wide! Docs would say, “we don’t know what causes fibrocystic breasts disease” and “fibrocystic breasts is now normal because everyone is getting it” and “fibrocystic breast could turn into cancer” and “there is nothing you can do for fibrocystic breasts” and “diet doesn’t cause fibrocystic breasts!” I was gaining weight too and by summer of 2022 I hit perimenopause at age 46 and got every symptom you could think of. My joints were hurting too, no sleep at night, dizzy at times, it was ridiculous! I know it had to be diet! Little did I know that all the other health issues I had all my life, in addition to this mess listed above, was all due to diet! I went searching online and found the truth of my fibrocystic problem! Found out cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and asparagus) are all cruciferous veggies that block natural iodine absorption found in foods! And if you become depleted in iodine it messes up your thyroid which controls all- even hormones! And all organs need iodine including breasts! They swell if you are deficient! And I read these cruciferous veggies can cause cancer due to lack of iodine in body since they block absorption! Bingo! We are all being told to eat cruciferous veggies, that they can prevent cancer, and to eat lots of it including broccoli!! But in fact they are causing cancer and I truly feel it is causing all the fibrocystic breast cases that have been escalating lately that we are seeing! When I post about this and ladies write back saying they too had fibrocystic breasts, I ask, “do you eat cruciferous veggies, especially broccoli” and they all have said, “YES!” I did more research and found carnivore! I Jumped right in! In 6-8 weeks I lost 45 pounds! My perimenopause reversed! In fact don’t even get PMS symptoms and my cycle is perfectly paced! And so much more reversed that I started writing it down! And yes, my fibrocystic breast masses shrank! I share my progress because I want people to see how carnivore can heal so much and most of these things are commonly healed for many, not just me! I want to help and this is how I do- by sharing. No I am not paid to do this, I just want to help people see and be aware of what carnivore can do! I do update this list as I have been on carnivore (more lion diet version) for 1 year, 2 months, and 1 week now. I feel this has helped so many decide if they should try carnivore. I always say go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry- my three most favorite doctors. They are truly amazing! I call them my carnivore doctors! ☺️ * No more perimenopause- completely reversed! *Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself! *No more night sweats *No more waking every 2 hours at night! *It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast! *No more life long eczema *No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea) *No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm *No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.) *No more brain fog *No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows *used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more! *Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight. *Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing! *Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well. *Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 47 and look like I am in early 30’s. *Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me. *No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach! *Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup! *no cravings unless they are for meat *no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago. *No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around. * no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller. *feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 90 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that. *Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights. * no more body odor! * I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much. *I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that. * I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things. *Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing! *no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing! * I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too! *Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before. *Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides! *I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone! *I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore. *My teeth look more white on carnivore. *My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome! *i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone. * at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 12 months. *the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry! *little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance! *The top inner corner of both my larger toes have felt a little numb for years. Never had it diagnosed. But being 1 year on carnivore I no longer feel that numbness! My nerves have healed in that spot on both toes! Crazy! *My slightly receding gums behind my center bottom front teeth have rebuilt so gums all over are super healthy! I have flossed daily for years, but gums look even healthier! *my skin on my face isn’t as oily as it used to be. *My hair used to be super oily if not washed daily, but carnivore has regulated my hair so I can now go days without having to wash it- doesn’t get oily after one day like before! (Newest update added!) So there you go! ☺️ I hope this helps people on their journey to fins out what works for them! Carnivore is working for everyone that tries. Go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry! And go visit Kerry’s channel at Homesteadhow! We love him too! ☺️
Thank you! I am going to share your long comment with friends and family who have been brainwashed by "dietary advice" we've been given since the 1970's. I have been listening to "the keto-carnivore community", starting with the people you mentioned, for almost a month now. All these lovely people have given me mental energy. It is very difficult not to be too enthusiastic, informing everybody when they tell me about their aches and pains. Vegans are the most difficult converts. They'll just wait till their doctors tell them what to do. For ever. Listen to Dr. O'Mara's final words in the podcast. Sad.
@@Ismakogie05 happy to help and continue to go carnivore. Be the light house is what I hear all the time for those that are so brainwashed they don’t want to hear anything about carnivore. ☺️ Even standard docs are brainwashed and may complain. Look for one that supports you. It is your health and body and the world isn’r interested in healing humans. They only want to make money off sick humans. Tell family andbfriends to watch Belinda Fettke on the truth behind how food pyramid was made. Not science based at all. Tell them to watch Dr. David Diamond on truth behind cholesterol if they question that. Tell then to watch Dr. Sally Norton on natural plant toxins. And watch Dr. Chaffee interview Maggie White who has done carnivore for 65+ years! She is age 82 but looks 60 and has energy of a 20 or so year old and health is amazing! She is a rancher who works 14+ hours a day and sometimes 30 hours straight on her ranch with cattle.
Hi! I'm 63. I've started this a few months ago. Do you, by chance, have a UA-cam channel or website? If so, I'm very interested in following you. I do follow Dr. Berry and Doctor Chaffee, but I feel they don't know my Dilemmas. Thanks for sharing this. I truly feel I'm not alone. Alicia
Thank you Max for interviewing Dr. O'Mara. It's very informative, you ask great and meaningful questions that clarify lots of information the we hear everyday on the news and social media. Thank you Dr. O'Mara.
Yes! My husband had surgery years ago and started gaining belly fat. We started 2 months ago no sugar no processed foods. Just simple clean meals. He has lost 11 pounds of visceral fat , inflammation is gone, he has muscle again. It works.
Amazing conversation! I learned so much and I’ve listened to much of what the two of you have put out. I want to speak to the topic of antibiotics. I was on them for almost the entirety of my childhood. It has taken me many years to rebuild my body and regain health. My dad has now been on antibiotics, mostly through a PIC line, for an entire year attempting to fight an osteomyelitis. I’m afraid regaining any health at his age (74) is going to be very challenging. I have him working towards a more carnivore-based diet which is helping and he’s greatly reduced his need for insulin (of course). Here’s to hoping we can continue to make gains and make him the best he can be!
This is incredible interview. Thank you so much. However…Maxes’s sitting position is not healthy. He is hunched over …., his microphone needs to be higher so he is not leaning forward to be closer to it. Again…. Thank you for this very informative interview.
Thank you for this great interview... I wish it had been just a little sooner. My elderly father passed away 2 months ago after medical complications. But the first sign it was going that way was he couldn't get out of a chair. No one told me that is a sign to call hospice!!! And it ended up being a surprise at the timing.
Wow! This was an excellent interview! One of your best! Dr. Omara is eloquent and knowledgeable, and I appreciate your deference to him, but also your objectivity in the few moments you disagreed. Two great critical thinkers. Grateful to have both of you in the health space!
What a miss not showing close up images of the MRI scans used during the interview. Thank goodness other vloggers interviewing Sean show the powerful images
How much muscle we put on based on our age is related to additional variables. Primarily: 1) genetics and body type (mesomorph, endomorph, or ectomorph), 2) Resistance Training Regimen, 3) Hormones including Testosterone, 4) Protein supplementation, 5) Nitric Oxide (blood flow), and 6) Creatine (to open the muscle pocket that can be filled). When we are younger we have more creatine and testosterone. Supplementation is needed as we age. When we are younger, we retain more of the protein we eat. As we age, we need to eat more protein than when we were young, because as we age, less protein is assimilated. All of these variables related to putting on muscle and age have nothing to do with subcutaneous or visceral fat. The variables I have listened above are from The Great Courses lectures titled "Body Composition: Diet & Exercise" by Michael Ormsbee, Ph.D.
Great podcast! by the way, my wife is a Tibetan, she said heart disease/stroke was completely unknown where she grew up in the Himalayas...nobody took a statin either! nobody checked their cholesterol...what is up with that???
I do MRI / CT and xray and we always say the topograms dont lie. It blows your mind how small of a bone structure or frame people have and then the amount of excess they're carrying around. And this goes for those we would traditionally call "skinny" or "thin" , too.
This is a great interview. I've reversed metabolic disorders with many of my clients through dietary changes combined with intelligent exercise programs. We do weekly Inbody scans and I'm always attempting to educate them on the dangers of visceral fat, which I've stated many times is mostly the result of dietary choices. Thanks for this explanation. I shared it with all of them.
The natural sulfites in fermented foods or in those foods with added sulfites cause me to wheeze. Can I get used to sulfites if I keep eating fermented foods?
4 mos ago I was diagnosed with DM2. High blood sugars and A1c. I was eating alot of processed foods, desserts, etc. IMMEDIATELY I cut out processed foods, pasta, cereal, potatoes, rice, and bread. I've lost 42 lbs in 4 months, without exercise. Much improved blood sugar and A1C( within normal limits). I haven't seen/noticed a decrease in abdominal fat yet, but hoping. What irritates me is my Dr. did labs 2 years ago, and I had a fasting sugar 126, which is pre diabetic . She did nothing. Now I have insulin resistance, which leads to abdominal fat. She did me no favors. Now I am on Metformin.
Hello Sir! Thanks so much for uploading. You talked about stress belly and skinny legs and consequences at the end of video so would request you to share the solution as well 🙏
If you have chronic stress in your life and then increased cortisol level isn't doing high intensity exercise going to just up the cortisol more? At 1:43 Sean says if you can't abate stress then go and sprint or do some other maximum intensity exercise to reduce cortisol. Usually lower intensity exercise is prescribed for chronic stress. Confused!!
BRIEF Max Intensity Sprint lowers it. Chronic “moderate or Hiigh” intensity exercise for longer periods of time like jogging contributes to it depending on for how long. Sprinting NOT Jogging!!
So even if you might have some chronic psychological stress in your life doing short max intensity exercise is the most beneficial for lowering cortisol level over time
What an incredible podcast. Great information! I'm a huge fan of you, Max. Your TedTalk got my husband and I on the road to low carb, whole food eating and we've done well! Thank you for your inspiration. -Also a dedicated student of Dr. O'Mara... and of Dr. Ken D. Berry... and I'm SO confused about the lean meat vs. fatty meat. Dr. Berry promotes eating the fattiest cuts, and eating the best quality you can afford (and that you will still be improving your health significantly. -While Dr. O'Mara's explanation has me concerned it's actually damaging to eat fatty, grain fed meat. Gaaaah! Help!
Dr. Berry and others simply are not aware of what they don't know. Plus they want the masses to not have a reason to not go carnivore due to the expense of eating grass fed. They also take a stand, and become rigid in their position. And, like everything we do, they get used to and actually prefer the taste of grain fed fat. And compare that to those of us who prefer the taste of rich yellow fat from grass fed. Similar to those who like the taste of whiskey and cigars etc. But had they actually spent an hour at a production feed lot and used their five senses, they would have walked away knowing how sick those cows being fed that way really are. But few will actually do that.
Naw I am losing fat from eating fat. 59 female and I like to joke I am a fativore/ carnivore ( for 9 months now ). I am healing my whole endocrine system, my brain, my nervous system. Mine needs fat. I eat lamb fat trimmings mornings and evenings because that's what I crave. My taste tells me. See Professor Noakes , Dr Cywes , both South Africans on their research connected to fat. Look at Dr Chaffee and Dr Baker on fatty rib eye steaks. Also I am encouraged to hear of the gradual return to health from the damage done by years of inflammatory visceral fat. My strenght is returning. I have turned to weights. I am inspired to get a MRI scan and maybe a dexa scan and wait a few years to measure the change. I would like concrete measurements to show my many doubters. Hopefully show an increase in bone density and decrease in abdomen fat. ❤
Ive eaten grainfed all my time eating low carb,my is alot better then what i was when i was in my 40s,weighing 325 pounds,55yrs old eating grainfed,fatty meat,and lost 100+ pounds,i never eat lean meat,i eat grainfed fatty meat,ive never eaten and grassfed meat,ken berry and dr Shawn baker always say eat what your budget can handle ,not go broke trying to eat grassfed,other then that great info from dr shawn.
@10:29 i did that exact same thing. I was broke, obease, sick, bloated, high BP, big waist 40". Went nuts OMAD, all the right things. But too much fasting. No weight training. Muscle wasting, i looked very similar to you. My wife said you are too skinny. I said i feel great but was weak. I was weak before those changes. Double wammy. Go slow with it and work out heavy weights and short times. Sprint, and then slow cardio. not endurance 10 mile running. Love you sean. My poor sick kid has terrible rhinitus, chronic infection. Went to ENT doc today and they couldn't get a camera in there. Too blocked, narrow, mucus too. All sorts of problems. They said she was the smallest nose just about of any one ever. at 10 years old. It stinks. I think it's exactly as you say, viceral fat. her swollen tonsils, adenoids and air way. Bad bad. She's skinny. But it has to be skinny fat. Weak in some ways. And swollen in other ways. We've neti pot, iodine solution, liquid advil her nose to minor success. Doctor wouldn't even give an anti-biotic when green goop is coming out. Mouth taping during the day. Time to take her to Sean's church. No processed carbs and stop eating any school food. That is definitely part of it. Lots of meat and low glycemic whole foods. You've renewed my faith in what to do. I need to stop making carb loaded foods. I thought if i put enough saturated fat in it, it's ok. NOPE I've been creeping up a bit in the weight dept, with weight training, sprinting and slow cardio. Not terrible but my throat is swelling up a bit too, general inflamation. More poor nose breathing.
Try cutting gluten out of your daughter’s diet. It helps a lot of people with rhinitis, if it doesn’t work try dairy free and see if that helps. I wouldn’t put her on a diet as such, just healthy non processed food.
Thanks, i'll give it a try. We've tried many other things and do eat fairly clean. She's still eating school lunch tho, hard to control what's in that. She's coming home for home school this next month. Hope that helps it too.@@Medinilla819
What Ruby said. And MD's don't know anything. Next I would try the Blood Type Diet, and I would take her to a functional medicine doctor, and have her tested for all sorts of food and other sorts of allergies.
Facinating! I would like to see the pictures he is showing you on that tiny screen, frustrating to hear him talk of things that you can’t see yourself. For your average person who tracks visceral fat on their 40 dollar home scale, what number to you recommend it should be under (most normal people aren’t above to run out and shell out on an MRI). Thank you doctor! This is the guy that said women get hit with the ugly stick as they get older and accumulate visceral fat on another podcast! He is not afraid to say it like it is! But I don’t see many men getting better with age either other than the George Clooneys of the world.
From images on Google, a viscerally inundated person may have 5.5 pounds of it in the abdominal cavity, whereas a optimally healthy person may have less than 1.5 pounds of it.
Haha that’s true about men! The ugly stick can hit us all. On another podcast he said that if you have love handles you most likely have visceral fat. It can’t be measured by scales because that will include muscle, all types of fat, bone etc.
1) Get a dexascan. Very inexpensive and convenient. Not nearly as good as an MRI, but much better than any of those scales. It will give you much more information than you have now. Mine showed that I (55 F) was 18.2% bodyfat, with .56 lbs of visceral fat. And my bone mass was off the charts good for a woman of any age! I wasn't too thrilled that my visceral fat was .56, as my friend (59 F with 6 children!) had visceral fat of 0.0 lbs! We got our tests ($35 each) through Bodyspec, btw. 2) That "beautiful" older woman model that Dr. Sean scoped...the one with all of the nice muscle and little fat...has been taking Hormone Replacement Therapy, i.e., steroids. He "forgot" to mention that little fact, as it doesn't fit his narrative. She isn't so super special that she can defy the realities of menopause "with diet".🙄 3) George Clooney has had plastic surgery, to which he admitted!
You absolutely, positively, can’t check visceral fat on a scale. Best get a dexascan. Available in Chicago for $100.00 or less. Pay out of pocket. It will tell you EXACTLY how many pounds of visceral fat you are carrying. I have 8+ lb-not good! That was last checked in early 2023. I’ve only been eating low carb for 2 months now. After maybe 6 months, or 8 months, I’ll see about getting one and hope to see some reduction. I’m told sprinting or HIIT and sauna help, but I can’t do those at my age and in my condition, so just avoiding carbs will have to be enough for now.
So interesting but im curious. I just found out im loaded with kidney stone. I eat very healthy but tgey said to avoid meat. Now im concerned if i ate mainly meat id be dealing with ongoing stones. Have you come across this at all?
Too bad the pictures he is pointing to are not shown close up by the camera. They are barely visible and unfortunately the actual specific foods the individual being described ate are not being mentioned. A mere snipped of "meat and vegetables" begs for more information. Hopefully l can find other videos from this Dr. Thanks !
I’m curious - I regularly do Dexa scans (Body Spec) and In Body scans and I’m wondering how accurate the fat & visceral fat measurements are compared to MRI
According to them... Dexafit Body Spec is better than 98% accurate.. however... you wont see the same image you get with an MRI.. and unfortuneately MRI's are too costly. Insurance wont cover them if you just try to do a walk in with no Dr script. And sometimes even with Dr. Script the sleazy Insurance company will try to deny the coverage. When the cost of MRI comes down to around $100-$150 more people will do them. Dr. O'Mara speaks to the fact that even someone who may look fairly svelt .. may still have enough viceral fat that can cause and create health issues... He suggests that viceral fat should be well under 1lb ...

- Blackheads on your nose is a good biomolecules to indicate how unhealthy. Spiderveins appearing on the legs for women and on the genetals for males is a wakeup call that you are unhealthy/ have high viseral fat. ED is also another biomarker of high Viseral Fat. Lower visceral fat and these areas clear up.
- Sunshine, HIIT Sprinting and Sauna increase Nitric Oxide and helps improve cardiovascular health and speed the eliminate visceral fat.
- Loosing visceral fat makes you more attractive, energetic and imorove all aspects of life. The rising tide that lifts all the boats in your harbour.
- Your health is an undeniable social and business calling card. Instantly tells people your quality of life.
- Diet pattern: meat 🍖 centric with veggies and little fruit. Most calories from meat. The guest consumes all veggies and fruit in fermented form.
- Fermented veggies and fruits completely eliminates the trace levels of "forever chemicals" that are found on fresh unwashed produce. Produce is rendered in a much safer to consume form. It also has the added benefit of boosting the microbiome for your gut.
- the amount of veggies and fruit compared to meat is garnish levels.
- Wear gloves/ wash hands around unhealthy people. Make sure to touch and gain the microbes from healthy athletic people. Gain as much contact with athletic or healthy people, hug them, shake their hand. These microbes will influence your decision when making food choices. Your hair is also a nest for your external microbiom.
- People who can consume carb heavy foods like fruit, rice or honey is that their microbiom is attuned to consume these foods. If not you'll just store visceral fat.
- Antibiotics can ruin your gut microbiome, use with caution.
- Don't buy and consume meat that is marbled or that is fed grain. Eat grass fed livestock only. Eating this meat influences your gut microbiome.
- Fat from an animal is not the same. Marbled fat on meat is filled with inflammation and diseased. Fat from lean cuts of meat from healthier livestock is way better for you.
- Fermented Food examples: Kimchi, Sauerkraut and Pickles.
- Stress is a massive contributor to visceral fat. Relax more, work a job you enjoy, not psychologically frett over day in and out. Chronic stress is bad, stress from exercise is desirable.
- Sprint 🏃♂️ till your out of breath, max out on push-ups this abates any anxiety or stress and helps you vent a build up of cortisol and stress. Meditate 🧘♂️ and breathing work can work too if you can maintain it for 13 minutes daily for 2 weeks (external info from US army study on meditation).
- Hyper-focusing on cholesterol is over marketed, and a complete misdirection from large confectionerycompanies. Visceral fat is the primary marker for health.
- Eliminating visceral fat is the #1 impact of avoiding chronic debilitating diseases.
Thank you 🙏🏼 💙💙💙🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Maybe you should get your OWN youtube channel.
I work in the health care industry and touch unhealthy people all the time. I never get sick. Seems a bit cultish to only touch and hug “fit “ people. That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read.
Awesome, thanks!!
Thank you so much for the notes. Much appreciated
Kills me that....anyone would listen to this and deny a Designer of this wonderful art...the human body.
Evolution, best to stick to science rather than fables.
@@GlennMarshallnz5 mins into Truth, with a student of the Word, you'll see your very life affirms it! Yes, you're in it..🤔
As the hippy-dippy song says "there is none so blind as he who will not see"😏😎
Who cares!
lol.
1:33 I started adding a few bits literally a forkful of sauerkraut post meals and about a month later my gut health felt so much better.
Make your own. It’s way better than store bought.
It would have been better if the pictures on the ipad were put up on the screen for the viewers to fully see.
Great information!
He had other talks where they were on full screen. ❤️
Any links? @Agapy8888
I think this is the best Dr. Sean on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing this.
Sure would be nice if the camera could zoom in on the mri.
The skin tag thing totally true. Also get ‘em under breasts. Eliminating processed foods as of 5-6 weeks ago. Starting to leave!
Hi Max, it would be nice if you show the Dr’s images on the screen.
Agreed! Would love to have the camera zoom in on the images so we can get the visual of what he’s taking about. Other than that, awesome episode, very informative!
@@rosemariefortelny9052 yes, I was trying to zoom in on the video at certain points to try and understand what was being discussed.
It was particularly helpful to have the ipad/screen on the far side of the table, and then have Dr. Sean hold his hand directly in front of the photograph the entire time that he talked about it!
On many other vlogs/talks Dr. O'Meara also shows the same photos filling the whole screen
Dear Max, it looks really unprofessional to "hide" the small fotos from the screen of the tablet. I am thankfull for all the informations, but detailed fotos would be much better. Thank you for the future. I heard dr.O'Mara for the third time, the first two for sprinting, this one for the diet to combate the stubborn visceral fat. Thank you so much!
Would be helpful to display the pictures so we could actually see them
It is amazing how many people are watching this with their ears closed and their eyes closed! Doc is a hottie in general and more so for his age. His life style is proof it works.
People need to stop hating and get motivated!
Why did I have to become aware of all this the day before Thanksgiving!😂
I have been on KETO for 8 months and have lost 60 pounds. It could have been 100 if I had been doing everything right, but I decided to not be obsessed with it. I pigged out on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas day. I felt a little guilty. Let me quantify my guilt. It's around 0.0000000000001%. It's 3 days. Plus maybe one day every month or two. It's a lifestyle. I realize that. But it's not a life sentence.
Well done@@AbsitInvidea
IKR?
😂🤣😂🤣
Thanksgiving dinners are not bad, depends on the quality of ingredients, processed or unprocessed. Think about it, the native americans and pilgrims were not fat bc they cooked fresh quality food.
😅😅😅
I've been following Dr. O'Mara for over a year. Very insightful and helpful in my ongoing health maintenance and lifestyle.
I been following him since last week! He’s quite interesting. He’s right to the point.
Truly educational podcast Dr Sean O Mara at the Genius Life
I’m such a fan of Dr. O’Mara, what an amazing, smart human, a wealth of knowledge ‼️ I’ve watched many of his interviews and still learn something new every time ‼️ And what a pleasure to look at these two handsome men, how can you not take advice from a doctor that look like this, c’mon 😁
I like the recommendation for maximum intensive exercise to combat stress, have to get to work on that. Thanks Max and Dr. Sean.
Your a legend Sean Omara
I'm grateful for you.
What an amazing gentleman, I heard nothing but Facts!, I would love him to talk more about balancing our lives. Great Job Max, you have amazing guest.
Best 👌 podcast presentation on Genius Life Dr Sean O Mara Lecture absolutely educational video thanks Dr S.OMara
Great interview! Where is that MRI discount? You mentioned it during the interview but I don't see a link below the video.
Go carnivore! Visceral fat went fast for me, and many health issues reversed with carnivore! Carnivore has healed so much for me! I started off carnivore in hopes to reverse my fibrocystic breast masses that have built up over 6 years eating half a dry skinless chicken breast piece a day with half cup of broccoli and little bit of wheat noodles. We are told don’t eat very much meat- so the world is almost vegan just about. I would eat red canbbage too- cooked it and ate cabbage about 3 times a week. That was about it. So I was mainly chicken, broccoli, and little wheat noodles. So from age 40-46 I started getting all that “aging” health issue mess- and the fibrocystic breast “disease” started and kept building up! When I hit age 46 I was done with it! The fibrocystic masses were getting me scares- and I started getting huge painful breast cysts too! One was around 2” long and 1” wide! Docs would say, “we don’t know what causes fibrocystic breasts disease” and “fibrocystic breasts is now normal because everyone is getting it” and “fibrocystic breast could turn into cancer” and “there is nothing you can do for fibrocystic breasts” and “diet doesn’t cause fibrocystic breasts!” I was gaining weight too and by summer of 2022 I hit perimenopause at age 46 and got every symptom you could think of. My joints were hurting too, no sleep at night, dizzy at times, it was ridiculous! I know it had to be diet! Little did I know that all the other health issues I had all my life, in addition to this mess listed above, was all due to diet!
I went searching online and found the truth of my fibrocystic problem! Found out cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and asparagus) are all cruciferous veggies that block natural iodine absorption found in foods! And if you become depleted in iodine it messes up your thyroid which controls all- even hormones! And all organs need iodine including breasts! They swell if you are deficient! And I read these cruciferous veggies can cause cancer due to lack of iodine in body since they block absorption! Bingo! We are all being told to eat cruciferous veggies, that they can prevent cancer, and to eat lots of it including broccoli!! But in fact they are causing cancer and I truly feel it is causing all the fibrocystic breast cases that have been escalating lately that we are seeing! When I post about this and ladies write back saying they too had fibrocystic breasts, I ask, “do you eat cruciferous veggies, especially broccoli” and they all have said, “YES!”
I did more research and found carnivore! I Jumped right in! In 6-8 weeks I lost 45 pounds! My perimenopause reversed! In fact don’t even get PMS symptoms and my cycle is perfectly paced! And so much more reversed that I started writing it down! And yes, my fibrocystic breast masses shrank!
I share my progress because I want people to see how carnivore can heal so much and most of these things are commonly healed for many, not just me! I want to help and this is how I do- by sharing. No I am not paid to do this, I just want to help people see and be aware of what carnivore can do!
I do update this list as I have been on carnivore (more lion diet version) for 1 year, 2 months, and 1 week now. I feel this has helped so many decide if they should try carnivore. I always say go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry- my three most favorite doctors. They are truly amazing! I call them my carnivore doctors! ☺️
* No more perimenopause- completely reversed!
*Period cycles all timed perfect with 4 week intervals.And no PMS symptoms, but only the actual menstrual cycle itself!
*No more night sweats
*No more waking every 2 hours at night!
*It used to take me 20 minutes or longer to fall asleep at night when I would first go to bed at night- before carnivore. Now it takes like a minute or less. Haven’t noticed since I am out fast!
*No more life long eczema
*No more cold hands (may have been Reynold’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more cold body temp in general! Used to feel like a reptile - only warm in texas sun. (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more IBS symptoms (gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea)
*No more feeling low energy by 12pm and zombie by 4pm
*No more purple looking hands in winter (may have been Raynaud’s disease, never diagnosed.)
*No more brain fog
*No more arthritis that I felt in hands, knees, and hips- or elbows
*used to have sore hips when sleeping on my side. No more!
*Lost 45+ pounds from former baby weight and peri menopause weight.
*Always had 20/20 vision with slight stigmatism- but in March doctor said my stigmatism is reversing!
*Don’t sunburn as easily anymore and tan well.
*Wrinkles around eyes seem to be much less. I am 47 and look like I am in early 30’s.
*Gums look super healthy. Dentist seems irritated as my teeth are not dirty when cleaning every six months. Think they know they won’t make money off me.
*No more sore chest from monthly periods- no swelling feeling of fullness or discomfort that prevented me from sleeping on my stomach. Now I sleep every night on my stomach!
*Fibrocystic Breast issues reversing! Almost all gone after 6 years of buildup!
*no cravings unless they are for meat
*no more angina symptoms before a period- which started about 3 years ago.
*No more feeling weak like almost passing out and dizzy around ovulation and periods when walking around.
* no more fingers swelling- that started a few years ago- rings kept being tight- is pattern I noticed. One ring I had resized larger and it’s super loose now. Will have to resize smaller.
*feel stronger- now lifting barbells not just hands weights. Dr. Baker said since I am 46, and 5’7” at 122lbs- need more resistance training to add more muscle weight. . So bought a 47lb barbell off Amazon and have 90 extra pounds added to it. Will continue to progress with that.
*Before carnivore- i had started growing grey hairs in one of my eyebrows, few hairs at a time, but no grey in my blonde hair yet - but assumed it was coming. Now on carnivore I have had no new grey hairs growing in eye brows and still no grey hair in my natural blonde hair. And in the sun it gets super light highlights.
* no more body odor!
* I used to get a little anxiety with large crowds- like if attending special events- but since on carnivore I don’t get it that much.
*I was a bit OCD before carnivore, but so much more relaxed so barely like that.
* I was a relaxed person before, but somehow am even more relaxed and never stress about things.
*Since I was a young child my sense of smell has been terrible. But not even a month in on carnivore my sense of smell has gone crazy! I smell things even far away! Amazing!
*no more allergies! I was allergic to cedar and oak pollens- and mold- but since carnivore I am no longer reacting to those outdoor pollens which is amazing!
* I have had no more issues from ear wax build up. Had it twice after having kids and docs would say it was a hormonal problem. Carnivore cured that too!
*Veins in my arms look healthier. They were almost invisible before.
*Legs no longer hurt on longer road trips or plane rides!
*I used to get a popping sounds in my right shoulder when lifting weights. Was probably a pulled ligament. That is now gone!
*I have been lactose intolerant since I was a kid, and I feel my nails are a bit stronger than before. They do break if I catch them on things but I feel they are getting stronger on carnivore.
*My teeth look more white on carnivore.
*My blood pressure has improved on carnivore. 6 years before carnivore up to starting carnivore my blood pressure was increasing. Now on carnivore it is back to normal like when I was younger. Last reading it was 100/75 which is awesome!
*i used to get eye twitches in my eye lids, but that is gone.
* at times when trying to fall asleep I would close my eyes and at times felt dizzy like falling feeling or spinning. But haven’t has that since I have been on carnivore for 12 months.
*the skin on the heals of my feet are no longer cracked and dry!
*little leak from sneezing or coughing that ladies get from estrogen dominance is gone on carnivore! Hormones balanced so no more estrogen dominance!
*The top inner corner of both my larger toes have felt a little numb for years. Never had it diagnosed. But being 1 year on carnivore I no longer feel that numbness! My nerves have healed in that spot on both toes! Crazy!
*My slightly receding gums behind my center bottom front teeth have rebuilt so gums all over are super healthy! I have flossed daily for years, but gums look even healthier!
*my skin on my face isn’t as oily as it used to be.
*My hair used to be super oily if not washed daily, but carnivore has regulated my hair so I can now go days without having to wash it- doesn’t get oily after one day like before! (Newest update added!)
So there you go! ☺️ I hope this helps people on their journey to fins out what works for them! Carnivore is working for everyone that tries. Go watch Dr. Baker, Dr. Chaffee, and Dr. Berry! And go visit Kerry’s channel at Homesteadhow! We love him too! ☺️
Chrome’s is being healed with carnivore!
Thank you that’s so awesome for you I’m going to look into those doc you suggested I want to fell awesome like you 🎉❤
Thank you! I am going to share your long comment with friends and family who have been brainwashed by "dietary advice" we've been given since the 1970's. I have been listening to "the keto-carnivore community", starting with the people you mentioned, for almost a month now. All these lovely people have given me mental energy. It is very difficult not to be too enthusiastic, informing everybody when they tell me about their aches and pains. Vegans are the most difficult converts.
They'll just wait till their doctors tell them what to do. For ever.
Listen to Dr. O'Mara's final words in the podcast. Sad.
@@Ismakogie05 happy to help and continue to go carnivore. Be the light house is what I hear all the time for those that are so brainwashed they don’t want to hear anything about carnivore. ☺️ Even standard docs are brainwashed and may complain. Look for one that supports you. It is your health and body and the world isn’r interested in healing humans. They only want to make money off sick humans. Tell family andbfriends to watch Belinda Fettke on the truth behind how food pyramid was made. Not science based at all. Tell them to watch Dr. David Diamond on truth behind cholesterol if they question that. Tell then to watch Dr. Sally Norton on natural plant toxins. And watch Dr. Chaffee interview Maggie White who has done carnivore for 65+ years! She is age 82 but looks 60 and has energy of a 20 or so year old and health is amazing! She is a rancher who works 14+ hours a day and sometimes 30 hours straight on her ranch with cattle.
Hi! I'm 63. I've started this a few months ago. Do you, by chance, have a UA-cam channel or website? If so, I'm very interested in following you. I do follow Dr. Berry and Doctor Chaffee, but I feel they don't know my Dilemmas. Thanks for sharing this. I truly feel I'm not alone. Alicia
Literally back for the second time to binge and take notes 📝
So much information on this podcast. I listened twice and passed it along to several friends and family members.
Thank you Max for interviewing Dr. O'Mara. It's very informative, you ask great and meaningful questions that clarify lots of information the we hear everyday on the news and social media. Thank you Dr. O'Mara.
Yes! My husband had surgery years ago and started gaining belly fat. We started 2 months ago no sugar no processed foods. Just simple clean meals. He has lost 11 pounds of visceral fat , inflammation is gone, he has muscle again. It works.
Love this! Learned a lot by listening to both of you! Thanks a lot! ❤❤❤
Amazing conversation! I learned so much and I’ve listened to much of what the two of you have put out. I want to speak to the topic of antibiotics. I was on them for almost the entirety of my childhood. It has taken me many years to rebuild my body and regain health. My dad has now been on antibiotics, mostly through a PIC line, for an entire year attempting to fight an osteomyelitis. I’m afraid regaining any health at his age (74) is going to be very challenging. I have him working towards a more carnivore-based diet which is helping and he’s greatly reduced his need for insulin (of course). Here’s to hoping we can continue to make gains and make him the best he can be!
Outstanding episode. Many thanks Max and Sean!
So glad you enjoyed!
Glad you liked it Stephen. Max was great to be with. Shout out to @dhrupurohit who got Max & I finally together.
Stress cause bloating. I noticed that. I eat same but when I am stressed I notice my belly is like pregnant.
Great interview. I can’t fine the link to the $300 off for the full body MRI. Can you post it? Thanks
Wow this interview was fantastic! Thanks Max and thanks Dr. O'Mara❤
So much brilliant info here! Love Dr Shaun, his knowledge is amazing and advice is superb!
Amazing interview. Thank you for all this free information Dr.
This is incredible interview. Thank you so much. However…Maxes’s sitting position is not healthy. He is hunched over …., his microphone needs to be higher so he is not leaning forward to be closer to it. Again…. Thank you for this very informative interview.
What a great interview!!! I learned soo much and Max as always you ask the perfect questions!!! Thank you for all this free education 😊
Max!!!!...your posture!!! 🧐
Perhaps he was simply exhausted… he commented above that he had been sick.
That's a good reminder... I always nag my mom abt posture too...
Love listening to theses guys , Especially Dr Sean Omara '
Very Caring Truthful Doctor.
Wish he was here in Indiana
Awesome information - I know I’ll be listening to this several times in order to derive full benefits. Thanks!
Thank you for this great interview... I wish it had been just a little sooner. My elderly father passed away 2 months ago after medical complications. But the first sign it was going that way was he couldn't get out of a chair. No one told me that is a sign to call hospice!!! And it ended up being a surprise at the timing.
Great episode! Love the fermentation push and the many insights.
Interesting and educational
Pure Genius!!!
Going to law school then to medicine…. mind blowing!!!!
He was a cop first. Doctor to the president also
Wow! This was an excellent interview! One of your best! Dr. Omara is eloquent and knowledgeable, and I appreciate your deference to him, but also your objectivity in the few moments you disagreed. Two great critical thinkers. Grateful to have both of you in the health space!
👊👊🙏
What a miss not showing close up images of the MRI scans used during the interview. Thank goodness other vloggers interviewing Sean show the powerful images
GREAT episode! Such a huge amount of good information, I had to listen twice and may several more times.
How much muscle we put on based on our age is related to additional variables. Primarily: 1) genetics and body type (mesomorph, endomorph, or ectomorph), 2) Resistance Training Regimen, 3) Hormones including Testosterone, 4) Protein supplementation, 5) Nitric Oxide (blood flow), and 6) Creatine (to open the muscle pocket that can be filled).
When we are younger we have more creatine and testosterone. Supplementation is needed as we age.
When we are younger, we retain more of the protein we eat. As we age, we need to eat more protein than when we were young, because as we age, less protein is assimilated.
All of these variables related to putting on muscle and age have nothing to do with subcutaneous or visceral fat.
The variables I have listened above are from The Great Courses lectures titled "Body Composition: Diet & Exercise" by Michael Ormsbee, Ph.D.
Great podcast! by the way, my wife is a Tibetan, she said heart disease/stroke was completely unknown where she grew up in the Himalayas...nobody took a statin either! nobody checked their cholesterol...what is up with that???
Fantastic interview, thank you.
I do MRI / CT and xray and we always say the topograms dont lie. It blows your mind how small of a bone structure or frame people have and then the amount of excess they're carrying around. And this goes for those we would traditionally call "skinny" or "thin" , too.
Thanks for the great interview 🥰
Thank you great infomation
I’m fascinated
Condensed information to live by!!! Thank you is not enough
Very good show , awesome
Great episode
Love the hybrid dynamic of informative/comedy 💯
Excelente!! Love from Argentina. You both were amazing. ❤❤
Congrats on your new leader
@@jimdandy8996 thank you!. We got a whole new team ( milei + macri + bullrich ). Freedom + Change . 💪
This is a great interview. I've reversed metabolic disorders with many of my clients through dietary changes combined with intelligent exercise programs. We do weekly Inbody scans and I'm always attempting to educate them on the dangers of visceral fat, which I've stated many times is mostly the result of dietary choices. Thanks for this explanation. I shared it with all of them.
👍Dr Sean omara speaks very clearly explained best 👌 podcast presentation
This is great, I like these two guys together very informative video. Thank you .
Very beneficial, Would have been great if the slides were brought in to focus.
What are some of the fermented fruits
The natural sulfites in fermented foods or in those foods with added sulfites cause me to wheeze. Can I get used to sulfites if I keep eating fermented foods?
yes
How does one go about getting an MRI cross section of visceral fat?
4 mos ago I was diagnosed with DM2. High blood sugars and A1c. I was eating alot of processed foods, desserts, etc. IMMEDIATELY I cut out processed foods, pasta, cereal, potatoes, rice, and bread. I've lost 42 lbs in 4 months, without exercise. Much improved blood sugar and A1C( within normal limits). I haven't seen/noticed a decrease in abdominal fat yet, but hoping. What irritates me is my Dr. did labs 2 years ago, and I had a fasting sugar 126, which is pre diabetic . She did nothing. Now I have insulin resistance, which leads to abdominal fat. She did me no favors. Now I am on Metformin.
Can you give more specific examples for women - hormones , what fitness they can achieve , what they can look like at age 60 on your program
Hello Sir! Thanks so much for uploading. You talked about stress belly and skinny legs and consequences at the end of video so would request you to share the solution as well 🙏
Does Dr. O'Mara have a book out that one can read?
Thanks for your information….👍
I've tried several times to get the ebook but haven't gotten it. Is there another way to get it?
How much or what is the average cost for an MRI?
Great interview, just a shame we can’t see the pictures you’re talking about.
How much is one of those MRIs? What's better for body composition testing? MRI or DEXA?
What a life changing video!
Do they every get to the steps?
If you have chronic stress in your life and then increased cortisol level isn't doing high intensity exercise going to just up the cortisol more? At 1:43 Sean says if you can't abate stress then go and sprint or do some other maximum intensity exercise to reduce cortisol. Usually lower intensity exercise is prescribed for chronic stress. Confused!!
Exercise raises cortisol for a short time while you’re doing it but lowers cortisol in the long term having done it. Net effect is much lowered
BRIEF Max Intensity Sprint lowers it. Chronic “moderate or Hiigh” intensity exercise for longer periods of time like jogging contributes to it depending on for how long. Sprinting NOT Jogging!!
So even if you might have some chronic psychological stress in your life doing short max intensity exercise is the most beneficial for lowering cortisol level over time
Great episode, just wish we could see all these pictures he has been showing you
Watch some of Dr. Sean's other videos. He shows all those pictures repeatedly.
Thank you. Very informative. ❤❤❤
Link/discount code for full-body MRI?
Yes , thank you
Great episode Max. I follow you on X. I have a concern about repeating MRI ‘s & X-rays. Wonder if Thermograms could show the same results.
What is your concern about repeat MRIs? They use safe magnetic fields NOT radiation like X-RAYS & CTs do.
@@DrSeanOMara thank you,
Really interesting video. However, the images on the ipad were difficult to see. I would have been more helpful to zoom in on them.
He is on several podcasts and the images are full screen, just search his name on UA-cam.
Max, take a look at a shot of the two of you side by side and compare your posture to Dr. O’Mara’s.
Haha
Such a great episode!
What can one do if they are unable to sprint? Any ideas for a replacement?
Maybe burpees. They will get your heart rate up for sure
Run in a pool. Stionary bike.
Where is the link for the MRI?
What an incredible podcast. Great information! I'm a huge fan of you, Max. Your TedTalk got my husband and I on the road to low carb, whole food eating and we've done well! Thank you for your inspiration. -Also a dedicated student of Dr. O'Mara... and of Dr. Ken D. Berry... and I'm SO confused about the lean meat vs. fatty meat. Dr. Berry promotes eating the fattiest cuts, and eating the best quality you can afford (and that you will still be improving your health significantly. -While Dr. O'Mara's explanation has me concerned it's actually damaging to eat fatty, grain fed meat. Gaaaah! Help!
Go for lean, ESPECIALLY if you have fat on your body to lose. Even lean still has adequate fat!! ❤️
Dr. Berry and others simply are not aware of what they don't know. Plus they want the masses to not have a reason to not go carnivore due to the expense of eating grass fed. They also take a stand, and become rigid in their position. And, like everything we do, they get used to and actually prefer the taste of grain fed fat. And compare that to those of us who prefer the taste of rich yellow fat from grass fed. Similar to those who like the taste of whiskey and cigars etc.
But had they actually spent an hour at a production feed lot and used their five senses, they would have walked away knowing how sick those cows being fed that way really are. But few will actually do that.
Naw I am losing fat from eating fat. 59 female and I like to joke I am a fativore/ carnivore ( for 9 months now ). I am healing my whole endocrine system, my brain, my nervous system. Mine needs fat. I eat lamb fat trimmings mornings and evenings because that's what I crave. My taste tells me. See Professor Noakes , Dr Cywes , both South Africans on their research connected to fat. Look at Dr Chaffee and Dr Baker on fatty rib eye steaks. Also
I am encouraged to hear of the gradual return to health from the damage done by years of inflammatory visceral fat. My strenght is returning. I have turned to weights.
I am inspired to get a MRI scan and maybe a dexa scan and wait a few years to measure the change. I would like concrete measurements to show my many doubters.
Hopefully show an increase in bone density and decrease in abdomen fat. ❤
So sugar and carbs cause visceral fat?
Wish you got these slides to show on screen
clean eating plant based could make you loose viseral fat? Or only animal protein?
He salid in another Interview that it is possible but slower than only meat
Ive eaten grainfed all my time eating low carb,my is alot better then what i was when i was in my 40s,weighing 325 pounds,55yrs old eating grainfed,fatty meat,and lost 100+ pounds,i never eat lean meat,i eat grainfed fatty meat,ive never eaten and grassfed meat,ken berry and dr Shawn baker always say eat what your budget can handle ,not go broke trying to eat grassfed,other then that great info from dr shawn.
@10:29 i did that exact same thing. I was broke, obease, sick, bloated, high BP, big waist 40". Went nuts OMAD, all the right things. But too much fasting. No weight training. Muscle wasting, i looked very similar to you. My wife said you are too skinny. I said i feel great but was weak. I was weak before those changes. Double wammy. Go slow with it and work out heavy weights and short times. Sprint, and then slow cardio. not endurance 10 mile running.
Love you sean.
My poor sick kid has terrible rhinitus, chronic infection. Went to ENT doc today and they couldn't get a camera in there. Too blocked, narrow, mucus too. All sorts of problems. They said she was the smallest nose just about of any one ever. at 10 years old. It stinks.
I think it's exactly as you say, viceral fat. her swollen tonsils, adenoids and air way. Bad bad. She's skinny. But it has to be skinny fat. Weak in some ways. And swollen in other ways. We've neti pot, iodine solution, liquid advil her nose to minor success. Doctor wouldn't even give an anti-biotic when green goop is coming out. Mouth taping during the day.
Time to take her to Sean's church. No processed carbs and stop eating any school food. That is definitely part of it.
Lots of meat and low glycemic whole foods. You've renewed my faith in what to do. I need to stop making carb loaded foods. I thought if i put enough saturated fat in it, it's ok. NOPE I've been creeping up a bit in the weight dept, with weight training, sprinting and slow cardio. Not terrible but my throat is swelling up a bit too, general inflamation. More poor nose breathing.
Try cutting gluten out of your daughter’s diet. It helps a lot of people with rhinitis, if it doesn’t work try dairy free and see if that helps. I wouldn’t put her on a diet as such, just healthy non processed food.
Thanks, i'll give it a try. We've tried many other things and do eat fairly clean. She's still eating school lunch tho, hard to control what's in that. She's coming home for home school this next month. Hope that helps it too.@@Medinilla819
What Ruby said. And MD's don't know anything. Next I would try the Blood Type Diet, and I would take her to a functional medicine doctor, and have her tested for all sorts of food and other sorts of allergies.
Check house for mold… can be hidden in walls also oregano oil is super good for these symptoms.
For me it was casein allergy from milk but it took over 3 years to figure out it was from milk
Facinating! I would like to see the pictures he is showing you on that tiny screen, frustrating to hear him talk of things that you can’t see yourself. For your average person who tracks visceral fat on their 40 dollar home scale, what number to you recommend it should be under (most normal people aren’t above to run out and shell out on an MRI). Thank you doctor! This is the guy that said women get hit with the ugly stick as they get older and accumulate visceral fat on another podcast! He is not afraid to say it like it is! But I don’t see many men getting better with age either other than the George Clooneys of the world.
From images on Google, a viscerally inundated person may have 5.5 pounds of it in the abdominal cavity, whereas a optimally healthy person may have less than 1.5 pounds of it.
Haha that’s true about men! The ugly stick can hit us all. On another podcast he said that if you have love handles you most likely have visceral fat. It can’t be measured by scales because that will include muscle, all types of fat, bone etc.
1) Get a dexascan. Very inexpensive and convenient. Not nearly as good as an MRI, but much better than any of those scales. It will give you much more information than you have now. Mine showed that I (55 F) was 18.2% bodyfat, with .56 lbs of visceral fat. And my bone mass was off the charts good for a woman of any age! I wasn't too thrilled that my visceral fat was .56, as my friend (59 F with 6 children!) had visceral fat of 0.0 lbs! We got our tests ($35 each) through Bodyspec, btw.
2) That "beautiful" older woman model that Dr. Sean scoped...the one with all of the nice muscle and little fat...has been taking Hormone Replacement Therapy, i.e., steroids. He "forgot" to mention that little fact, as it doesn't fit his narrative. She isn't so super special that she can defy the realities of menopause "with diet".🙄
3) George Clooney has had plastic surgery, to which he admitted!
You absolutely, positively, can’t check visceral fat on a scale. Best get a dexascan. Available in Chicago for $100.00 or less. Pay out of pocket. It will tell you EXACTLY how many pounds of visceral fat you are carrying. I have 8+ lb-not good! That was last checked in early 2023. I’ve only been eating low carb for 2 months now. After maybe 6 months, or 8 months, I’ll see about getting one and hope to see some reduction. I’m told sprinting or HIIT and sauna help, but I can’t do those at my age and in my condition, so just avoiding carbs will have to be enough for now.
@@margomoore4527 I'm 61 and I do CrossFit every day. You need to exercise. Start where you're at. Let me know if you want help/ideas!
So interesting but im curious. I just found out im loaded with kidney stone. I eat very healthy but tgey said to avoid meat. Now im concerned if i ate mainly meat id be dealing with ongoing stones. Have you come across this at all?
Magnesium and lemon water release kidney stones!
I love your content, the way you teach and everything. However, it wasn’t good that we could not see your iPad along with you.
Fantastic video thank you!
Fantastic interview!
I would love to know where the doctor gets his fermented vegetables?
Probably makes them himself as anybody usually would.
Too bad the pictures he is pointing to are not shown close up by the camera. They are barely visible and unfortunately the actual specific foods the individual being described ate are not being mentioned. A mere snipped of "meat and vegetables" begs for more information. Hopefully l can find other videos from this Dr. Thanks !
You might want to check out Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Eric Westman, Dr. Ken Berry, etc.
I’m curious - I regularly do Dexa scans (Body Spec) and In Body scans and I’m wondering how accurate the fat & visceral fat measurements are compared to MRI
According to them... Dexafit Body Spec is better than 98% accurate.. however... you wont see the same image you get with an MRI.. and unfortuneately MRI's are too costly. Insurance wont cover them if you just try to do a walk in with no Dr script. And sometimes even with Dr. Script the sleazy Insurance company will try to deny the coverage. When the cost of MRI comes down to around $100-$150 more people will do them. Dr. O'Mara speaks to the fact that even someone who may look fairly svelt .. may still have enough viceral fat that can cause and create health issues... He suggests that viceral fat should be well under 1lb ...
They aren’t accurate for visceral fat
I curious to know if it’s possible how to lower visceral fat while being on chemotherapy ?
