SHR #2946: The Fat That Kills

: Natalie Kopitzke; 08 November 2022; 04 January 2023

The Fat That Kills
with Guest Dr. Sean O'Mara

I was just discussing this with Mark Bell. Not all fat is created equal. Visceral fat, which I refer to as "Radioactive Fat" is tied to a variety of disease states associated with a shortened lifespan from all-cause mortality. And reducing it is hard. It doesn't respond to diet. This new study shows an effective way of targeting visceral fat and can have a profound effect on health-span and life-span.

Show Notes:

The Fat That Kills

[00:05:45] Dr Sean talks about the disease states that seem to go hand in hand with visceral fat.

[00:08:30] The discussion turns to organ crowding and how visceral fat attaches to organs. A few slides are discussed that show before and after pictures of patients with visceral fat and after losing some of the fat.

[00:16:25] Does insulin play a role in storing visceral fat? Dr Sean replies.

[00:17:35] Carl shares his view on insulin sensitivity specifically at night, and Dr Sean agrees and expounds.

[00:23:00] Dr Sean then goes on to explain with a slide, fat deposits in muscle myosteatosis.

[00:31:15] Listen to Dr Sean explain how sprinting can be utilized as an extremely efficient anti-aging strategy and defines sprinting.

[00:37:40] Do you think there is some magic in the substrate shift from aerobic to anaerobic

that becomes a signaling pathway for the body. Dr Sean responds with a remarkable clarification.

[00:42:18] Carl talks about the ARX machine and the book Of Dove's, Diplomats and Diabetes, a Darwinian View of Modern Disease. Dr Sean concurs with the discussion.

[00:45:45] The discussion turns to the next slide of a cross sectional abdominal MRI scan of an NFL athlete versus an Olympic athlete.

[00:56:15] Dr Sean invites the audience to look him up on YouTube where he gives useful advice on how to start sprinting.

[00:56:58] The conversation continues with visceral fat and processed foods.

[01:01:50] I have been told, but I never verified this, that you will not find food in nature that has both sugar and fat. Is that true? Dr Sean responds and shares his view.

[01:03:04] The next point of discussion is that in many households, ultra-processed foods are mainstays at the kitchen table. After which oxalates are discussed.

[01:06:30] Do the sun and melanocortin hormones play a role in reversing the plaque in your arteries? Dr Sean shares a study to confirm this. Carl then shares his view on sun exposure and how processed foods contribute to cancer and inflammation.
