Visceral Fat Doctor: The 4 Types of Belly Fat & How to Reduce It - Dr. Sean Omara: Ideas and Insights Ideas: - Micro bullets of fat silently degrade health and well-being over an extended period. - Understanding good fat versus bad fat can optimize health, aesthetics, and performance significantly. - Visceral fat is one of the four bad inflammatory fat types detrimental to health. - Brown adipose tissue, known as good fat, aids thermogenesis and can be activated by cold exposure. - Superficial subcutaneous fat is beneficial because it secretes protective molecules against various diseases. - Typical medical education neglects the importance and impact of visceral fat on overall health. - Understanding visceral fat's impact can inform personal health decisions, empowering effective lifestyle changes. - Many chronic conditions correlate with high levels of visceral fat rather than cholesterol levels. - Gut health benefits from probiotics, particularly those with effective delivery mechanisms, like Seed's formulas. - Individuals often are unaware of gradual health degradation caused by accumulated visceral fat over time. - Stress causes higher visceral fat accumulation due to hyperresponsive cortisol receptors in this fat tissue. - The four damaging areas of fat are referred to as The Four Horsemen of inflammation. - Not all subcutaneous fats are equal; visceral and deep ones are harmful while superficial is protective. - Individuals should prioritize improving their body metrics over seeking treatment for chronic health issues. - Implementing high-intensity interval workouts effectively reduces visceral fat far more than steady-state cardio. - Incorporating maximum effort exercise in short bursts yields profound health benefits despite aging. - Visible skin elasticity can indicate overall health and reflect successful fat reduction efforts effectively. Insights: - Long-term impacts of visceral fat are underappreciated, leading to gradual degradation of health and performance. - Visceral fat accumulates silently, highlighting the need for proactive monitoring and lifestyle choices. - Not understanding the different types of fat can hinder effective health optimization strategies. - Superior blood flow is critical for repairing and preventing diseases associated with visceral fat. - Engaging in regular high-intensity workouts may outperform traditional cardio in fat loss effectiveness. - Awareness of diet quality and sleep's impact is critical for managing visceral fat retention. - Proactive education about visceral fat can empower individuals to take charge of their health outcomes. - Adipose tissue secretes inflammatory signals, emphasizing the significance of fat storage locations on health. - Understanding how the body processes stress can refine approaches to fat reduction and health improvement. - People can significantly improve their quality of life through awareness, metrics, and high-intensity training methods. In this video, Dr. Sean Omara discusses the different types of belly fat, specifically focusing on visceral fat and its harmful effects on health. He emphasizes the need for individuals to recognize various fats in their bodies, including good and bad types, and how understanding these can lead to better health choices. The conversation also includes insights into the importance of exercise, diet, and lifestyle changes in managing body fat and improving overall health. Key Points: Types of Fat Dr. Omara outlines that there are four main types of fat in the body, organized into good and bad categories. Specifically, he highlights visceral fat as one of the most dangerous types of fat due to its inflammatory properties. Visceral Fat and Health Issues Visceral fat is linked to various chronic health conditions, and Dr. Omara stresses that most medical schools do not adequately educate on its implications. He encourages viewers to learn more about visceral fat in relation to their personal health. Detrimental Effects of Inflammatory Fat The video discusses how inflammatory fats, such as visceral fat, harm the body over time, leading to a gradual decline in health that is often unnoticed by individuals. Good Fats: Brown and Superficial Fat Dr. Omara introduces the concept of 'good fats,' such as brown fat and superficial subcutaneous fat, which can be beneficial to health, contrasting them with the harmful types of fat. Exercise Importance The discussion includes the significance of short, high-intensity exercises over long, low-intensity workouts to combat visceral fat more effectively. Personal Motivation in Health Dr. Omara emphasizes that motivation and a willingness to change are crucial factors in successfully managing body fat and improving health. Supplements and Gut Health He endorses a specific probiotic brand, explaining the importance of probiotics in maintaining gut health and their role in overall wellness. Lifestyle Changes for Better Health The video encourages viewers to make intentional lifestyle changes, including better dietary choices, effective exercise regimens, and regular monitoring of body health.
Brrilliant, brilliant, brilliant! i am following Dr. O'Mara for 3 years now, and it had quite an impact. For me, even as I enjoy BMI 21, but all the more for my clients. The short term max output changes the habit to lots of things. Yet, i need to mention some yoga poses that are equally intense despite its just isometrics. And just for records: O'Mara clearly states (@54+) that mindset and motivation is all. Everything regarding health starts in the mind. Everything else is risk factors (env. toxins, food industry, lacking education), which can be overcome with a strong mind. Hence, if s.o. wants to get/stay healthy, mindfulness training is mandatory
Very good interview! The last few videos I've watched from you Thomas where you interview people has been very enlightning. They basically gives you a gameplan of how to improve health, fitness and muscle. Good worrk on getting people to talk to you.
Thought your nasal breathing episode was one of your best. This one is even better. Thankyou for all this amazing advice. I'm still with you on Zone 2 as recovery for my intense efforts. This includes walking to the supermarket to buy the groceries and walking home carrying a weight. 😊🏃🚴🇦🇺
Dr Sean Omar’s is one of my favorites.. I’ve added sprinting and feel so much better Big Thanks to Sean! Sprint Carnivore diet (with fermented foods) Sunshine =you will be healthy & you’ll find the fountain of youth 😊
Dr. Sean completes the circle. The more you learn about visceral fat and how it sits above all downstream chronic illness the better your chances of living in a healthy body will be. Go to his channel and subscribe. Learn and implement if you feel it makes sense. Your most important physical asset is your body. Age well and all the best to you for a long, healthy and useful life in the service of yourself and others!
I started sprinting a few months ago and even though I'm only doing 3 sprints once per week I lost a lot of visceral fat and put a lot of muscle on my whole body, not only on the legs.
Very good conversation video from Thomas like always. Happily surprised of seeing only 1 of your own ad. Watched the whole video and the ads proposed by youtube to support you
Visceral fat's dangers have been known way before 2010. And just because you say something correct but unrelated to your profession, doesn't mean that people should 'listen' to you.
@@johndorianturkelton The guy is responding to the claim that visceral fat isn't being taught in medical school. He's not saying anything about visceral fat or how to deal with it.
@@drjtwoodrowwell most people don’t seem to want to listen to me either. We have got to raise visceral fat real danger above the din of cholesterol Big Pharma wants Health Professionals to talk about.
Great looking forward to this one! I wonder about the effects of GLP1’s on good fat? Chinese Medicine calls the general inflammatory condition “dampness” akin to a swamp with no flowing water. You drain damp by pee, poo or sweat aided by various things.
Big facts. And if it does heal people, it's tied to a medication or an expensive procedure, most likely. Tis' the reason why I am going yo.nursing school and will have a business on the side as a health coach and will get extensive education(factual), outside of the US dietician curriculums!
Much easier to deal with it via a pill vs. the time and effort required to educate the masses. In reality, something that might be best taught in grade schools - before bad diets and lifestyles becomes a set pattern for life.
Good vs. Bad Fat: The distinction between good and bad fat is crucial. Brown fat, for example, is beneficial as it helps with thermogenesis and energy expenditure, while visceral and myosteatosis fat can have detrimental effects. Dr. O’Mara advocates for increasing good fat stores while minimizing harmful fat deposits through lifestyle changes. Chronic Disease Prevention: The overarching theme of the video is the prevention of chronic diseases through an understanding of body fat and its implications. By targeting visceral fat and adopting healthier lifestyle choices, individuals can not only enhance their appearance and performance but also reduce disease risk, ultimately leading to a better quality of life.
Much easier when engaged as a preventative strategy vs. when your metabolic machinery is compromised due to hormonal impacts of aging, not to mention being on the wrong side of the metabolic curve of health. ; )
Used Dr Berg's keto info for approx 18 months and no question it had a very positive impact on my health ,which was OK anyway . I now carb cycle which is the best for me as a do a lot of road cycling. Big fan of keto for improving people's health ,it just works.
@@AngeliaMeow Check out OCEAN psychological personality profiles and associated 'personal projects'. Also, Ayurvedic Doshas, particularity Vata, with dietary recommendations to balance it. Another key is learning to trigger 'relaxation response' by Vagus Nerve stimulation (active), or, more traditionally, via meditation (passive), will change your brain to become inherently more focused. Failing that, becoming older will tend to slow you down to where you will mellow out naturally. ; )
Just curious if a daily session of HIIT on the elliptical would be sufficient in place of sprinting? Early last year ~60+, I lost 40 LB's doing HIIT on my elliptical - also in combination with moderate fasting and low carb whole food omnivore diet - virtually nothing processed and minimal if any grains/dairy. Note, due to metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, I found it harder to do prolonged fasting. Otherwise, I hit a wall vs. where I needed to lose 10 more LB's - still carrying too much subcutaneous and visceral fat. Likely, still producing too much insulin that interfered with burning of the last bit of fat - though perhaps due to where they say toxins are stored therein, which the body doesn't necessarily want to deal with. After it became obvious I wasn't gaining anything further with that strategy, I reverted to a combo of 20 min air stepper - though not that 'Raw(??) Machine' demoed by Dr. O'Mara, then doing push ups, body dip/raises, bench press and seated leg raises. That looks to have converted some of the remaining weight to lean tissue which slowly but surely, has been burning off the visceral fat - more obvious to me around the facial features. Somewhat reluctant to go full carnivore, though I guess it would get me over the hump that much quicker in terms of burning off visceral fat? Otherwise, HBa1C is good, or so I'm told @ 5.4% with two tests 8 months apart. While much better, it's still a concern so would like any other insights on how to move forward and rid the remaining excess fat.
"The ROM machine is a workout machine that uses your body mass in a four minute session of safe, non-impacting high intensity interval training." USD $6,299.00 🤑 FWIW, it's kinda like how I engaged my elliptical machine, using my lower body weight/legs to make it harder to pump the arms - where I was focused on upper body HIIT workout. Easy enough to reverse the exercise, using my upper body and arms to counteract the legs ability to push the pedals. Otherwise, the ROM machine uses active centrifugal braking which increases with any attempt to go faster. Plus, it works out both arms simultaneously, on both push and pull stroke. Not sure how the lower back responds to that sort of stress but on the elliptical, even putting everything I had into it, I did it most every evening without any issues. Being a fixed resistance machine, The one limitation is where your body eventually adapts to it, making self-limiting in terms of net benefits vs. the ROM ramping up resistance.
Humans are persistence hunters, that's where our extended zone two advantage over other animals makes a difference. See pg 210 -212 of Daniel Leiberman's book "Exercised". So the zone 2 endurance may not make a difference for fighting or fleeing, but it helps a human bring home the bacon. Which is also an important aspect of survival.
This fellow, conversing with you - fantastic. However, what about, say, guys pushing 70, probably 30 lbs overweight (largely visceral fat) and probably insulin resistant etc. -- I like to push myself, but wonder about some risk lately with risk of great exertion - it would be wonderful if you could more often address the broader, aging population, those (any!) of us who are not looking for "easy" per se, BUT who wish to do it right from a progression/safety perspective. (THANKS for all, Thomas. Superb stuff, superb guests!) :-)
Based on related experience - fix your diet first and work on basic low level cardio and resistance training. Get a clean bill of health, including a ECG etc. to rule out potential 'safety hazards'. Personally, I found low impact elliptical to be very good for both basic cardio and even sprint-like HIIT. Not because it was ideal or the only solution, but happened to be the more obvious go-to vs. all the rest of my gear. Otherwise, possibly that much more challenging since your hormones are not going to be as obliging as they are up until the reputed step increase of aging ~60 - more like the 4rth 'winter-phase' of our finite lifespan, the 3rd, transition to 'fall' being at male/female menopause ~44.
all the roid bros told everyone not to do cardio for the last twenty years. sean o mara out here saving the world making everyone realize max intensity cardio is one of the major things thats been missing.
I would like to have an experiment like real zone2 endurance training 10h/week + full body weight training 2x per week, and no sprinting. My guess is, most benefits would be present. And the all-important mitochondrial function is built with low endurance. For instance, triathletes have below 10% body fat, and I have never seen more good-looking people in one place as in a triathlon event. (Marathon is different, they only use a very limited amount of their muscle, often with many structural deficits and bad technique.) Problem with many average people, they do their running, rowing etc. rather in zone3, i.e. too fast for fat burning, too slow for high intensity - and then this is called endurance exercise. There is no good education about polarized training, although it is rather simple: 95% zone2 + 5% zone4, like going fast sometimes uphill, or overtaking a swimmer in your lane. And many endurance athletes have terrible eating habits, supported by a huge industry.
@@keyman6385 ...yes, a lot of bang for your bucks, that's for sure. The argument I'm just not following 100% is that HIIT really mirrors the dominant exercise patterns of our ancestors (and even then - that it automatically means this would be the best way to use our body). Okay let's say we killed an animal in a big effort. But then we had to carry it for hours back home, and this would be like +120 HR - perfect zone2. Looking for fruits, digging roots, carrying infants, constructing a housing, or working with any kind of domesticated animals etc. are all activities with more than your easy walking HR. All of these strenious activities are done mechanically today, and we are left with sitting and walking. Endurance exercise, done intelligently, is a good way to compensate this. (Yes, running 10k every day with bad technique and 160 HR certainly isn't)
@@daniels.9446 Everything else is a bonus and certainly adds numerous benefits of flexibility, squatting, longer term aerobic endurance vs. short term anaerobic exertion. If nothing else, certainly a different lifestyle than what we lead today - save for some better known examples, like the Hadza tribe etc. Certainly not as epic as when our evolutionary ancestors hunted mastodons/mammoths or whatever was present during our evolution. Theoretically, that's what led to the related genetic adaptations and responses we rarely engage, apart from as part of a training and exercise regiment.
Is it normal to feel adrenaline rushes doing this kind of exercise? Or would it be a healthy goal to shoot for to workout the way Dr. Sean did until we enter into fight or flight mode?
What great insight, love these long form interview you do Thomas. Does the maximal effort have to be done solo, or can it be part of a longer zone 2/3 workout? ie, running or cycling for 90-120 mins w/ some hill sprints mixed in along the route?
He doesn’t advocate for longer exercise like that. Longer periods of moderate exercise increases stress on your body, increases cortisol and basically reverses all the good hormones and effects of just doing short intense exercise.
QUESTION: what would you do with an older person who has major physical issues that prevent them from performing any kind of intense exercise…..I assume focus more on the things they are consuming and stress reducing actions. Anything else?
@@DrSeanOMara You and a few other UA-cam doctors gave me the knowledge to totally transform my 59 year old visceral fat packed body on 7 daily meds to a 62 year old GreekGod that now is 52 pounds lighter and prescription free. No complaints from me guy.
Idk I heard O'mara before and I tried his suggested sprint routine but I found myself getting pain and injuries in my legs faster than my love handles were shrinking. Im not very overweight or particularly unfit either 15% bodyfat last time I checked. When I did long slow runs it seemed like I was just burning more calories and was getting leaner overall, maybe not specifically in the stubborn regions hes taking about though. Im curious what is the most practical way to preferentially burn visceral fat.
@@helios4425 There's literally no one who hasn't heard that a million times by now, its not a very inciteful or useful thing to say one of Dr. Omara's point was that's it possible to preferentially burn visceral fat
Having worked with Dr Sean for about a year, I'd suggest you start with diet (calorie dense, high satiation, low inflammation foods) your environment (sleep with the sun, get fresh air, sunlight on skin, and ditch devices as much as possible) Avoid anything that tastes sweet, or contained carbs in any meaningful way, and introduce as much living beneficial microbes as you can. Add max effort exercise last, you might start at a walk. Or you might sprint uphill, but know it's not exercise in a vacuum that works. It needs a holistic environment of diet, nutrition, and rest to thrive. Down 46 lbs fat, muscle mass up 8lbs, skin tone is way better... sleep, mental focus, eyesight, all improved noticeably. Looking forward to the next day, every day, you can see the changes.
Be careful when accelerating and decelerating, do it slow, you are not in a race, I never sprinted in my life but last year I listened to one of Sean's videos and started sprinting(I only did 3 sprints once per week) and I lost a lot of visceral fat and put a lot of muscle despite not doing anything else. And so far I haven't had an injury yet but I always accelerate slowly.
That's because and unfortunately this is newly discovered territories, and being so, it's a little hard to digest, for me anyways, but lots of new rabbit hole to wonder down.
I sprint the straights on the track and walk the bends for 2 miles... That's 8 sprints up to 100 yards at 70-90 percent of all our... I'm 43 and don't want to pull a hammy... Now that it's winter though I've held off on the sprinting but warmer days are ahead... Every once in a while I'll throw in a 200 or 400
@@AndersonsprairieviewfarmAnders HIIT has been around for ages - its correlation with triggering rapid/effective fat-loss, along with the identifying 4 distinct types of fats is likely not to familiar. Prior to this, I just heard of two basic categories, subcutaneous and visceral. Learning about/how deeper subcutaneous fats are not so good is equally important.
You talk about nitric oxide in the video. Just wondering, would it be helpful to take nitric oxide as a supplement, say before a workout to help get the blood flowing?
Like pop a viagra? Likely not. At most people take a bit of caffeine, though if it boosts your cortisol levels, you have to wonder how to not overdo it with a net gain of excess fat?
I'm trying to wrap my head around the question you asked about stress. Someone please tell me if I have this right. Viseral fat increases due to stress, then this viseral fat excretes more cortisol increasing stress, which induces more stress which increases more viseral fat. So reducing viseral fat breaks the cycle of stress induced fat gain? Am I making sense?
@@flcps yeah so that’s the same thing for last 15 years. Unfortunately his tech are things the average joe can’t measure. Guess just use good ol accu measure with a caliper.
@@davesanders9203 Dave visceral fat is likely been accumulating inside of you for decades. It’s not gonna go away in just a few short weeks. The average person takes about one to two years when focused and highly motivated to get rid of their visceral fat and this is after they’ve come to me working with me one on one. It’s not an easy thing to do on your own without guided expertise. 🙏👊
WOW, what an awesome guest Thomas. I love hearing all this amazing information but at the same time it scares the shizzle out of me as this level of bio-hacking seems beyond the scope of the average person. I can only hope that 75% is good enough
Sprinters don't have the best Longevity of Athletes. Golfers have great longevity as do pingpong players. Golfers slow walking in nature with a moment of maximum effort. Pingpong, max effort, but it's for sudden small movements.
Once you lose the visceral fat and restored metabolic flexibility, it's much easier to maintain and keep it that way via diet and moderate exercise. p.s. Ping-Pong = 'micro level HIIT' ; )
@@keyman6385 Golf, HIIT with huge gaps in between max effort drive. Also bad was weight lifters Longevity wise. And yet I don't think it's the weight as obese people have to some degree a slight advantage, rucking is an excellent exercise and tells the body to drop fat. Also worth noting that different fats consumed results in different fat molecules in lipid layer of cells and maybe fat cells?
@@jonathanberry1111 General guideline seems to be that, as long as you minimize the 3 bad fats vs. the one healthy one, you're 'okay'. So, better to be higher fat with reasonably good health but, even then tends to catch up with everyone in the long run - especially the knees and hip joints that can no longer support the excess weight or lack of hormones that compensate for most of our transgressions until male/female menopause ~44. Otherwise, I seem to recall Thomas showing a graph where overall rates of mortality fall during older age when you have a bit of fat vs. those who are too lean and have fewer resources to tide them over when they need it most.
I don't agree with the "run fast and fight"-theory. Our body and mind tells a completely other story. Humans are so weak and slow compared to other animals; so we survived by our great capacity to long distance running and our social skills; with which we can hunt in groups and exhaust any animal. Being a week animal turned out to be brilliant thing, because it created a huge evolutionary push: The smarter you are, the more you can use tools and the more you can communicate and cooperate, the bigger chance you have of survival. This push and the skills it created made us the dominant animal. If the ability to fight and run fast had been the most important as claimed here - then Neanderthals would still be around.
The smarter you are, the lazier you get - cue the subsequent industrial and modern computer age. Whereby, we barely have to lift a finger to move mountains - all while our bodies gains a mountain of fat. ; )
To sign your life away to Tobey Maguire... and do HIIT coupled with resistance training as you get older to extend your quality of life... don't eat junk food. This video could of been 20 seconds lol.
Huge difference between basic subcutaneous fat, like a naturally chubby baby with loads of brown-fat vs. visceral fat. Especially when it hits the Islets and shuts down production of Insulin (see Dr. Roy Taylor, Newcastle UK)
As a physician, I get so tired of people saying “your doctor doesn’t know … or they didn’t teach this in medical school”. Visceral fat is common knowledge and its effects are also commonly known. Maybe your doctor doesn’t have the depth a person devoted to studying it has, but we are quite knowledgeable even on nutrition now. I was taught much about visceral fat in my last 25 years of practice and watch you tube just like normal people, doctors see this same information on nutrition the public does. . One thing we don’t have time for is every fad that comes through the nutritooon-sphere. We generally wait for it to be vetted and studied before spending our patients valuable time. That statement should not distract from the value of the information on visceral fat, but the constant subverting of your primary care and cardiologist is unnecessary and unwarranted.
Are physicians not required to administer pharmaceuticals vs. where nutritionist administer dietary advice and physiotherapists administer physical therapies? This is where the all-in-one approach of a Functional Medicine Doctor might be more effective than the months it takes to manage the typical protocol: referrals to specialists, appointments with months long waiting lists, testing, analysis, more appointments, alternative pharmaceutical approach and so on and so forth.
Ever order an Abdominal CT in 25 years of practicing? Review a report. Show me one just one report that even mentions visceral fat. Super triggered me here you down playing this. This is literally killing people and you want to defend how it’s being handled by the medical profession. Not sure I have seen a comment from a physician that has bothered me as much as your’s here. For all reading this if you’ve ever had an abdominal CT in your lifetime, you have a right to see the report. Take a look at it and you’ll see no mention whatsoever of visceral, fat, muscle, fat, heart fat.

And just for records: O'Mara clearly states (@54+) that mindset and motivation is all. Everything regarding health starts in the mind. Everything else is risk factors (env. toxins, food industry, lacking education), which can be overcome with a strong mind. Hence, if s.o. wants to get/stay healthy, mindfulness training is mandatory
Very well said ! Agreed !!! Thank you.
Very good interview! The last few videos I've watched from you Thomas where you interview people has been very enlightning. They basically gives you a gameplan of how to improve health, fitness and muscle. Good worrk on getting people to talk to you.
Thought your nasal breathing episode was one of your best. This one is even better. Thankyou for all this amazing advice. I'm still with you on Zone 2 as recovery for my intense efforts. This includes walking to the supermarket to buy the groceries and walking home carrying a weight. 😊🏃🚴🇦🇺
Dr Sean Omar’s is one of my favorites.. I’ve added sprinting and feel so much better
Big Thanks to Sean!
Sprint
Carnivore diet (with fermented foods)

=you will be healthy & you’ll find the fountain of youth 😊
Finally! I've been waiting for this to come out! Yay! We love Sean! Why didn't you get a scan first? That would be so great in spreading the message.
Dr O'Mara and Thomas that was brilliant.... I have followed Dr O'Mara for some time now. Great stuff.
Love this interview and info. Dr Sean is amazing! Thanks Thomas🎉❤🎉
Amazing interview...great job
That was a Masterclass ! Thank u !
Really great guest, Thomas. And really valuable information for me. Thank you. I’m over 70.
Great video! You should do more educational videos like this from doctors.
Another great discussion by Dr. O’Mara.
I was riveted.Thanks Thomas and your guest.
Credit all to @thomasdelauer who reached out to me to have this important conversation 🙏🙏
Dr. Sean Omara has a great sense of humor!
Ha. Looking for my wife to show her this comment. 🙏👊😁
I got every joke! Thomas kept a straight face on every one. You’re the man I’m gonna start sprinting in my workouts
Wow! I think this might be my favourite video of yours Tom! Such unique and valuable content 👊😎
Mad Respect to Thomas for reaching out to me. 👊🙏
Love how Thomas puts it all into perspective…..the absence of sprint workouts…..not just eliminating zone 2 workouts. Perfect 😍
I am 82, I hate jogging and love sprinting, so being old hasn't sent me to jogging
awesome interview, this is next level bro-science
WOW! Best guest, best information, best video!
THIS IS WHAT I CALL A REALLY DEEP SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION ❤ GREAT THOMAS
Mad Respect to Thomas for making this happen.
Dr. Sean completes the circle. The more you learn about visceral fat and how it sits above all downstream chronic illness the better your chances of living in a healthy body will be. Go to his channel and subscribe. Learn and implement if you feel it makes sense. Your most important physical asset is your body. Age well and all the best to you for a long, healthy and useful life in the service of yourself and others!
🙏👊
This is so helpful! Thankyou!
I started sprinting a few months ago and even though I'm only doing 3 sprints once per week I lost a lot of visceral fat and put a lot of muscle on my whole body, not only on the legs.
Conclusion is explained and I find that it was expressed well & totally makes sense.
The tools were laid out on what to do & not to do to do better 🎉
Very informative episode👍
Very good conversation video from Thomas like always. Happily surprised of seeing only 1 of your own ad. Watched the whole video and the ads proposed by youtube to support you
Like he gives a crap
Best video ever on the subject!!!
Glad you appreciated it Jeff.
We learned about visceral fat and its inflammatory implications in Chiropractic school, and that was back in 2010...
But no one wants to listen to us.
The goal of these channels is to make the viewer feel like they know something the majority of people don't.
Visceral fat's dangers have been known way before 2010.
And just because you say something correct but unrelated to your profession, doesn't mean that people should 'listen' to you.
@@johndorianturkelton The guy is responding to the claim that visceral fat isn't being taught in medical school. He's not saying anything about visceral fat or how to deal with it.
@@drjtwoodrowwell most people don’t seem to want to listen to me either. We have got to raise visceral fat real danger above the din of cholesterol Big Pharma wants Health Professionals to talk about.
Another one of your "Best Videos"!
Great looking forward to this one! I wonder about the effects of GLP1’s on good fat? Chinese Medicine calls the general inflammatory condition “dampness” akin to a swamp with no flowing water. You drain damp by pee, poo or sweat aided by various things.
Good question - likewise how about Berberine? Both claiming to reduce visceral fat.
Great interview TD!
This is another sharp angle of deep understanding, motivating 👍👍

Great video, Thomas. Thank you.
Im really not suprised they dont teach this at medical schools. Just like nutrition. Its not about healing people. Its about profit
Big facts. And if it does heal people, it's tied to a medication or an expensive procedure, most likely. Tis' the reason why I am going yo.nursing school and will have a business on the side as a health coach and will get extensive education(factual), outside of the US dietician curriculums!
there is no ROI for healthy people
Yea they do not give af about us bro. We are on our own, thats why we are all here self educating on youtube
Much easier to deal with it via a pill vs. the time and effort required to educate the masses. In reality, something that might be best taught in grade schools - before bad diets and lifestyles becomes a set pattern for life.
@@keyman6385 even if it was taught in school we would have the same scenario as with the food pyramid
Good vs. Bad Fat: The distinction between good and bad fat is crucial. Brown fat, for example, is beneficial as it helps with thermogenesis and energy expenditure, while visceral and myosteatosis fat can have detrimental effects. Dr. O’Mara advocates for increasing good fat stores while minimizing harmful fat deposits through lifestyle changes.
Chronic Disease Prevention: The overarching theme of the video is the prevention of chronic diseases through an understanding of body fat and its implications. By targeting visceral fat and adopting healthier lifestyle choices, individuals can not only enhance their appearance and performance but also reduce disease risk, ultimately leading to a better quality of life.
Much easier when engaged as a preventative strategy vs. when your metabolic machinery is compromised due to hormonal impacts of aging, not to mention being on the wrong side of the metabolic curve of health. ; )
Love this❤
Used Dr Berg's keto info for approx 18 months and no question it had a very positive impact on my health ,which was OK anyway . I now carb cycle which is the best for me as a do a lot of road cycling. Big fan of keto for improving people's health ,it just works.

@@AngeliaMeow Check out OCEAN psychological personality profiles and associated 'personal projects'. Also, Ayurvedic Doshas, particularity Vata, with dietary recommendations to balance it. Another key is learning to trigger 'relaxation response' by Vagus Nerve stimulation (active), or, more traditionally, via meditation (passive), will change your brain to become inherently more focused. Failing that, becoming older will tend to slow you down to where you will mellow out naturally. ; )
Just curious if a daily session of HIIT on the elliptical would be sufficient in place of sprinting? Early last year ~60+, I lost 40 LB's doing HIIT on my elliptical - also in combination with moderate fasting and low carb whole food omnivore diet - virtually nothing processed and minimal if any grains/dairy. Note, due to metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, I found it harder to do prolonged fasting.
Otherwise, I hit a wall vs. where I needed to lose 10 more LB's - still carrying too much subcutaneous and visceral fat. Likely, still producing too much insulin that interfered with burning of the last bit of fat - though perhaps due to where they say toxins are stored therein, which the body doesn't necessarily want to deal with.
After it became obvious I wasn't gaining anything further with that strategy, I reverted to a combo of 20 min air stepper - though not that 'Raw(??) Machine' demoed by Dr. O'Mara, then doing push ups, body dip/raises, bench press and seated leg raises. That looks to have converted some of the remaining weight to lean tissue which slowly but surely, has been burning off the visceral fat - more obvious to me around the facial features.
Somewhat reluctant to go full carnivore, though I guess it would get me over the hump that much quicker in terms of burning off visceral fat? Otherwise, HBa1C is good, or so I'm told @ 5.4% with two tests 8 months apart. While much better, it's still a concern so would like any other insights on how to move forward and rid the remaining excess fat.
24:57 how does this square with low intensitiy excersise like walking for a long period?
Walking is great!
"The ROM machine is a workout machine that uses your body mass in a four minute session of safe, non-impacting high intensity interval training." USD $6,299.00 🤑
FWIW, it's kinda like how I engaged my elliptical machine, using my lower body weight/legs to make it harder to pump the arms - where I was focused on upper body HIIT workout. Easy enough to reverse the exercise, using my upper body and arms to counteract the legs ability to push the pedals. Otherwise, the ROM machine uses active centrifugal braking which increases with any attempt to go faster. Plus, it works out both arms simultaneously, on both push and pull stroke.
Not sure how the lower back responds to that sort of stress but on the elliptical, even putting everything I had into it, I did it most every evening without any issues. Being a fixed resistance machine, The one limitation is where your body eventually adapts to it, making self-limiting in terms of net benefits vs. the ROM ramping up resistance.
Humans are persistence hunters, that's where our extended zone two advantage over other animals makes a difference. See pg 210 -212 of Daniel Leiberman's book "Exercised". So the zone 2 endurance may not make a difference for fighting or fleeing, but it helps a human bring home the bacon. Which is also an important aspect of survival.
Thank you for typing this out, much better than watching Thomas trying to sell me something, lol, I don’t mind that either. I love his channel.
Dang dude
This fellow, conversing with you - fantastic. However, what about, say, guys pushing 70, probably 30 lbs overweight (largely visceral fat) and probably insulin resistant etc. -- I like to push myself, but wonder about some risk lately with risk of great exertion - it would be wonderful if you could more often address the broader, aging population, those (any!) of us who are not looking for "easy" per se, BUT who wish to do it right from a progression/safety perspective. (THANKS for all, Thomas. Superb stuff, superb guests!) :-)
Start very slowly accelerating which is the highest injury potential. Sprinting g up hill is better if older or sprint swimming.
Based on related experience - fix your diet first and work on basic low level cardio and resistance training. Get a clean bill of health, including a ECG etc. to rule out potential 'safety hazards'. Personally, I found low impact elliptical to be very good for both basic cardio and even sprint-like HIIT. Not because it was ideal or the only solution, but happened to be the more obvious go-to vs. all the rest of my gear. Otherwise, possibly that much more challenging since your hormones are not going to be as obliging as they are up until the reputed step increase of aging ~60 - more like the 4rth 'winter-phase' of our finite lifespan, the 3rd, transition to 'fall' being at male/female menopause ~44.
I wonder what Dr. Lyon who advocates muscle as health would think of this, not that they are mutually exclusive.
I want to know more about visceral fast and how to rid my body of it!!
all the roid bros told everyone not to do cardio for the last twenty years. sean o mara out here saving the world making everyone realize max intensity cardio is one of the major things thats been missing.
I would like to have an experiment like real zone2 endurance training 10h/week + full body weight training 2x per week, and no sprinting. My guess is, most benefits would be present. And the all-important mitochondrial function is built with low endurance. For instance, triathletes have below 10% body fat, and I have never seen more good-looking people in one place as in a triathlon event. (Marathon is different, they only use a very limited amount of their muscle, often with many structural deficits and bad technique.)
Problem with many average people, they do their running, rowing etc. rather in zone3, i.e. too fast for fat burning, too slow for high intensity - and then this is called endurance exercise. There is no good education about polarized training, although it is rather simple: 95% zone2 + 5% zone4, like going fast sometimes uphill, or overtaking a swimmer in your lane. And many endurance athletes have terrible eating habits, supported by a huge industry.
I gather HIIT is all about the least amount of time and effort required to achieve the desired end results - as long as you can handle it.
@@keyman6385 ...yes, a lot of bang for your bucks, that's for sure.
The argument I'm just not following 100% is that HIIT really mirrors the dominant exercise patterns of our ancestors (and even then - that it automatically means this would be the best way to use our body). Okay let's say we killed an animal in a big effort. But then we had to carry it for hours back home, and this would be like +120 HR - perfect zone2. Looking for fruits, digging roots, carrying infants, constructing a housing, or working with any kind of domesticated animals etc. are all activities with more than your easy walking HR. All of these strenious activities are done mechanically today, and we are left with sitting and walking. Endurance exercise, done intelligently, is a good way to compensate this. (Yes, running 10k every day with bad technique and 160 HR certainly isn't)
@@daniels.9446 Everything else is a bonus and certainly adds numerous benefits of flexibility, squatting, longer term aerobic endurance vs. short term anaerobic exertion. If nothing else, certainly a different lifestyle than what we lead today - save for some better known examples, like the Hadza tribe etc.
Certainly not as epic as when our evolutionary ancestors hunted mastodons/mammoths or whatever was present during our evolution. Theoretically, that's what led to the related genetic adaptations and responses we rarely engage, apart from as part of a training and exercise regiment.
That's fantastic results your getting at age 82...🎉
& inspiring too 🎆🤙🏻 science has real help all of us learn more tools to apply better out comes🎉

Is it normal to feel adrenaline rushes doing this kind of exercise? Or would it be a healthy goal to shoot for to workout the way Dr. Sean did until we enter into fight or flight mode?
Great
What great insight, love these long form interview you do Thomas. Does the maximal effort have to be done solo, or can it be part of a longer zone 2/3 workout? ie, running or cycling for 90-120 mins w/ some hill sprints mixed in along the route?
He doesn’t advocate for longer exercise like that. Longer periods of moderate exercise increases stress on your body, increases cortisol and basically reverses all the good hormones and effects of just doing short intense exercise.
@@dr.forrestbale4132way to go Dr. Bale! 👊👊

QUESTION: what would you do with an older person who has major physical issues that prevent them from performing any kind of intense exercise…..I assume focus more on the things they are consuming and stress reducing actions. Anything else?
Please help me understand. I believe the doctor said that he is unclear if TRT causes the muscle fat “marbling”. Is this a correct?
Looks like track marks following his vein on his right arm🤣 I know it's not though. I subscribe to this guys UA-cam channel and he's very interesting.
Honestly you are kind. Many think I am just weird. 🙏
@@DrSeanOMara You and a few other UA-cam doctors gave me the knowledge to totally transform my 59 year old visceral fat packed body on 7 daily meds to a 62 year old GreekGod that now is 52 pounds lighter and prescription free. No complaints from me guy.
Idk I heard O'mara before and I tried his suggested sprint routine but I found myself getting pain and injuries in my legs faster than my love handles were shrinking. Im not very overweight or particularly unfit either 15% bodyfat last time I checked. When I did long slow runs it seemed like I was just burning more calories and was getting leaner overall, maybe not specifically in the stubborn regions hes taking about though. Im curious what is the most practical way to preferentially burn visceral fat.
Eat in a calorie deficit. The mass has to come from somewhere
@@helios4425 There's literally no one who hasn't heard that a million times by now, its not a very inciteful or useful thing to say one of Dr. Omara's point was that's it possible to preferentially burn visceral fat
Having worked with Dr Sean for about a year, I'd suggest you start with diet (calorie dense, high satiation, low inflammation foods) your environment (sleep with the sun, get fresh air, sunlight on skin, and ditch devices as much as possible)
Avoid anything that tastes sweet, or contained carbs in any meaningful way, and introduce as much living beneficial microbes as you can.
Add max effort exercise last, you might start at a walk. Or you might sprint uphill, but know it's not exercise in a vacuum that works. It needs a holistic environment of diet, nutrition, and rest to thrive.
Down 46 lbs fat, muscle mass up 8lbs, skin tone is way better... sleep, mental focus, eyesight, all improved noticeably. Looking forward to the next day, every day, you can see the changes.
Be careful when accelerating and decelerating, do it slow, you are not in a race, I never sprinted in my life but last year I listened to one of Sean's videos and started sprinting(I only did 3 sprints once per week) and I lost a lot of visceral fat and put a lot of muscle despite not doing anything else. And so far I haven't had an injury yet but I always accelerate slowly.
It may be because you were already fit, rather than starting from the usual sedentary position.
tossing a frisbee with someone who sucks at throwing frisbee is the ideal exercise

No ... Im a Phat, belly fat doctor"
Dang it, lots of cool info but no playbook :(
That's because and unfortunately this is newly discovered territories, and being so, it's a little hard to digest, for me anyways, but lots of new rabbit hole to wonder down.
exactly..other than don't run for long distances but sprint, don't eat processed foods, and don't drink alcohol.
I sprint the straights on the track and walk the bends for 2 miles... That's 8 sprints up to 100 yards at 70-90 percent of all our... I'm 43 and don't want to pull a hammy... Now that it's winter though I've held off on the sprinting but warmer days are ahead... Every once in a while I'll throw in a 200 or 400
@@AndersonsprairieviewfarmAnders HIIT has been around for ages - its correlation with triggering rapid/effective fat-loss, along with the identifying 4 distinct types of fats is likely not to familiar. Prior to this, I just heard of two basic categories, subcutaneous and visceral. Learning about/how deeper subcutaneous fats are not so good is equally important.
You talk about nitric oxide in the video. Just wondering, would it be helpful to take nitric oxide as a supplement, say before a workout to help get the blood flowing?
Like pop a viagra? Likely not. At most people take a bit of caffeine, though if it boosts your cortisol levels, you have to wonder how to not overdo it with a net gain of excess fat?
I'm trying to wrap my head around the question you asked about stress. Someone please tell me if I have this right. Viseral fat increases due to stress, then this viseral fat excretes more cortisol increasing stress, which induces more stress which increases more viseral fat. So reducing viseral fat breaks the cycle of stress induced fat gain? Am I making sense?
Not quite. Stress produces cortisol which contributes to both the production & retention of visceral fat especially with a poor diet & lifestyle.
this all sounds good but what are practical ways to achieve results?
Eliminate processed foods from your diet. No sugar. Optimize your sleep. Hit type of exercise. Manage stress. No or low alcohol.

Sprinters don't have the best Longevity of Athletes. Golfers have great longevity as do pingpong players. Golfers slow walking in nature with a moment of maximum effort. Pingpong, max effort, but it's for sudden small movements.
Once you lose the visceral fat and restored metabolic flexibility, it's much easier to maintain and keep it that way via diet and moderate exercise. p.s. Ping-Pong = 'micro level HIIT' ; )
@@keyman6385 Golf, HIIT with huge gaps in between max effort drive. Also bad was weight lifters Longevity wise. And yet I don't think it's the weight as obese people have to some degree a slight advantage, rucking is an excellent exercise and tells the body to drop fat. Also worth noting that different fats consumed results in different fat molecules in lipid layer of cells and maybe fat cells?
@@jonathanberry1111 General guideline seems to be that, as long as you minimize the 3 bad fats vs. the one healthy one, you're 'okay'.
So, better to be higher fat with reasonably good health but, even then tends to catch up with everyone in the long run - especially the knees and hip joints that can no longer support the excess weight or lack of hormones that compensate for most of our transgressions until male/female menopause ~44.
Otherwise, I seem to recall Thomas showing a graph where overall rates of mortality fall during older age when you have a bit of fat vs. those who are too lean and have fewer resources to tide them over when they need it most.
I don't agree with the "run fast and fight"-theory. Our body and mind tells a completely other story. Humans are so weak and slow compared to other animals; so we survived by our great capacity to long distance running and our social skills; with which we can hunt in groups and exhaust any animal. Being a week animal turned out to be brilliant thing, because it created a huge evolutionary push: The smarter you are, the more you can use tools and the more you can communicate and cooperate, the bigger chance you have of survival. This push and the skills it created made us the dominant animal.
If the ability to fight and run fast had been the most important as claimed here - then Neanderthals would still be around.
The smarter you are, the lazier you get - cue the subsequent industrial and modern computer age. Whereby, we barely have to lift a finger to move mountains - all while our bodies gains a mountain of fat. ; )

John. The average person often does. However the point of this show was to point out the exact OPPOSITE- not all fat is the same!
Huge difference between basic subcutaneous fat, like a naturally chubby baby with loads of brown-fat vs. visceral fat. Especially when it hits the Islets and shuts down production of Insulin (see Dr. Roy Taylor, Newcastle UK)
Absolutely great stuff!

As a physician, I get so tired of people saying “your doctor doesn’t know … or they didn’t teach this in medical school”. Visceral fat is common knowledge and its effects are also commonly known. Maybe your doctor doesn’t have the depth a person devoted to studying it has, but we are quite knowledgeable even on nutrition now. I was taught much about visceral fat in my last 25 years of practice and watch you tube just like normal people, doctors see this same information on nutrition the public does. . One thing we don’t have time for is every fad that comes through the nutritooon-sphere. We generally wait for it to be vetted and studied before spending our patients valuable time. That statement should not distract from the value of the information on visceral fat, but the constant subverting of your primary care and cardiologist is unnecessary and unwarranted.
Are physicians not required to administer pharmaceuticals vs. where nutritionist administer dietary advice and physiotherapists administer physical therapies? This is where the all-in-one approach of a Functional Medicine Doctor might be more effective than the months it takes to manage the typical protocol: referrals to specialists, appointments with months long waiting lists, testing, analysis, more appointments, alternative pharmaceutical approach and so on and so forth.
Ever order an Abdominal CT in 25 years of practicing? Review a report. Show me one just one report that even mentions visceral fat. Super triggered me here you down playing this. This is literally killing people and you want to defend how it’s being handled by the medical profession. Not sure I have seen a comment from a physician that has bothered me as much as your’s here. For all reading this if you’ve ever had an abdominal CT in your lifetime, you have a right to see the report. Take a look at it and you’ll see no mention whatsoever of visceral, fat, muscle, fat, heart fat.
