This video excites me so much. Chronic stress from a prior job caused a whole host of metabolic issues, visceral fat, inflammation, hypertension, some nerve issues and unusual depression and brain fog. I even ended up with Bell's Palsey where half of my face was paralyzed for 1 month! The doctor just said the Bell's Palsey was from a virus that was laying dormant but never said what caused the virus to come out. I figured it was because the chronic stress may have caused inflammation lowered my immune system allowing viruses to come out of dormant. GP doctor just said it's stress and prescribed me anti-depressants. I knew it had to somthing else so I had to do my own research. I decided to put myself on a strict anti-inflammatory diet and supplemented for nerve health. I started noticing symptoms getting better within 1 month. Been fine for 2 years now.

@SuperLammens facts. They literally just input your symptoms into a computer and then the computer diagnosis you and tells the Dr what to prescribe you.
ditching all grain, sugar and processed food was the best thing I ever did. All my carbs now come from different varieties of sweet potato and squash. Eat meat, fish, eggs, nuts and veggies too- all single ingredient foods I cook myself. Arthritis gone in a week, dropped 40lbs in 2 months, doing workouts (running and lifting) I couldn't do in my 20s. The amazing thing going to a whole food diet is the amount I eat- 4000+ calories a day to keep myself at 150lbs. Granted I run and lift most mornings, but I used to try starving myself on a grain based/processed food diet and was 40lbs heavier eating half as much. Now I shovel food in my face all day just to keep from losing, trying to bulk a bit and add more lean mass has turned into full time eating.
i had kidney failure with lupus a few years ago and watched quite a few vegan video this is so important watch everything you are eating and drinking move if possible get outside more fine now as well as possible found out calcium was a big problem with what i had if i eat to much could end up with osteoarthritis and worse calcium depletes calcium unfortunately
@@eddieteabagify most days I'm in excess of 4000-4500. Typical day is: 2 cups black coffee and 3 heaping tbsp peanutbutter (to keep stomach from being acidic during workout after black coffee) >240 calories depending on how "heaping" Workout (10K run) and 25-30 minutes lifting and calisthenics. Post workout - 4 free range eggs scrambled in kerrygold butter -300 calories 2 servings pistachios on way to work - 320 calories 10AM snack- 4 slices sheepsmilk manchego cheese- 200 calories, 1 epic provisions bar (venison/beef/chicken/bison) 120 calories Lunch- 1/2Lb ground beef or 1lb ground turkey sauteed with cumin, tomato paste, sliced olives, feta cheese, sour cream or a couple fried eggs on top & 1/2 a Japanese sweet potato or butternut squash ~850-950 calories ~2:30PM snack - bag of salted peanuts 320 calories Dinner- grilled 10 oz grassfed ribeye or 1+ lbs of haddock with cream/cheese sauce, 3/4lb sweet potato or butternut squash with alot of butter, steamed veggie (asparagus/broccoli, green beans etc...) and a large mixed salad with avocado, peccorino cheese, olives and olive or avocado oil dressing - ~1450-1650 calories If my weight has been dropping or steady the past couple days I add in a pint of keto ice cream for desert (650-900 calories depending on the flavor). Also have the occasional quest bar or protein shake or some more nuts/snacking thrown in here and there- sometimes wake up hungry at 1AM and have to have a bar or some peanut butter before going back to bed so a lot of days I'm probably close to 5K alot of days but it probably averages out to somewhere around 4200-4500 calories a day. Eating this way habitually the past 4 months I've slowly crept from 147ish to about 152lbs but some of that may be from adding creatine recently too. I was trying to do whole foods only but kept losing weight so I added in the quest bars, extra peanut butter, and keto icecream in an effort to bulk, shooting for 160-165lbs at 10%BF as my goal.
I ❤this level of detail and information. I'm a city bus driver and will be 60 in May. Have recently implemented a sustainable fasting regimen to help me lose 35 lbs in 8 months. This information will help shape my future of good health and a happy life. Please keep sharing and looking for better answers. Life changing, thank you!
Long, slow distance running with a high-carb low-fat diet were the bullets that shot most of us in the 70 and 80s to get tons of visceral skinny fat throughout our organs and liver.
Sad true. Glad we know better now, and we can do better from now on! Thank you for being supportive. We are all in the same journey towards optimizing health. 💙
As so many in the past, my family owned the farm and ate mainly the dairy and the carbs. Almost all lived to their late 90s and died relatively healthy.
OMG! Thank God we are hearing this podcast! I had no idea being overweight was so dangerous! Thank you for speaking to us! You are educating each and everyone of us on the importance of eating healthy and changing our ways!❤
I haven't heard you discuss brown fat which I understand is a thin layer next to the bone. Some doctors say you can eat to ignite brown fat to burn visceral fat. I'd appreciate hearing your opinion on that. I love the info you've provided in this interview! ❤
Brown fat has specific locations. It is mainly in your suprackavicular areas; and like you said thin adjacent to bones, mid upper back. You can increase and make it more metabolic by cold therapy. And increases metabolism. Strategies for burning VF will help with brown fat activation.
Always learning. I only thought there was visceral and subcutaneous fat, not the other levels. I will be definitely sharing this episode and watching this again myself. Thank you Dhru 🤗
Thank you for being supportive. You definitely want to reverse ectopic fat, visceral fat, deep subcutaneous fat. All metabolic unhealthy releasing inflammatory molecules in your body and damaging your health.
This is such a great topic! Thanks for sharing. I am not surprised that the population is getting sicker year by year. Look who works in the doctors offices. High percentage of doctors and nurses working in the healthcare are overweight, some are obese. When they tell me to eat less fat or whatever it makes me smile. All I want to ask them - why don’t you follow your own advice?
Another reason why your body builds up visceral fat as you become older, is because your bodies hormone production decreases which leads to a loss of muscle mass. This loss of muscle mass (or gaps in the muscle) is replaced by visceral fat.
This is lovely! Please don't talk at the same time. Although in real live people overlap each other and it is so polite to make sounds of approval, for professional interview it is better to speak one at a time becouse it is easier on the ears. More when Dhru was speaking I was distracted from the topics discussed by all those yesses interrupting.
Excellent public health announcement🐸as a young feeling senior I am constantly trying to get my old friends with health issues to be more proactive and make some changes to lifestyle, unfortunately due to their learned behavior 99% think they just need a pill or operation to fix themselves and are unable/unwilling to modify their lifestyle❤️their disease defines who they are, not their lifestyle🐸thank you
Same here. 99% of people I encounter with significant health issues won't consider a lifestyle change (cut way back on carbs), preferring a pill and not considering the side-effects.
Can we just assume we all have that and take action, no need to go spend a lot of money getting tested just to find out you have a lot of visceral fat. I rather spent the money buying good quality food. 🤗
You could assume that you have lots of visceral fat. Due to the environment we live now. The mri is beneficial to engage more in the strategies to get better and to folllow up your improvement. Which is positive feedback and reinforcement. I believe you might be strong will oriented. Do what is best and work better for you. Just keep doing it. And the results will come. Watch Sean O’Mara. Learn the effective strategies and you will keep optimizing your health and your life. 💙
The best quote I’ve heard in a while came while I was watching the bluezones show on Netflix “We hope for health but incent for sickness. All the money lies in waiting for you to get sick and then getting paid to heal you. Expensive and ineffective.
Western medicine doesn’t even heal in my opinion. An antidepressant doesn’t “heal.” It alleviates symptoms. A pill for hypertension lowers blood pressure. Are you healed? No. There’s no money in true healing for the pharmaceutical industry.
Really excellent show. I have learned so much. It should be hospital policy that that all MRI’s should include a visceral fat report when the Radiologist writes their impression on the report.
Thank you for a very interesting and informative presentation. I was cycling 125 miles per week - fasted - and getting fatter and fatter. I cut the cycling to around 50 miles per week and started doing resistance training at home 4x per week with dumbells, eating more, especially protein. It was weird as I'm so used to cutting calories. But it worked. I'm 58 and stronger and slimmer than I've been since my teens.
I sure enjoy her lovely voice, she truly is a blessing in her self!!! I wish she was doing all the talking!!!🎉 Thankyou for sharing the beautiful dr. with us!!!🎉
I am doing the talking without cheating for the last 3 months only. I still have severe VF in my mri. Working with the strategies daily. Getting improvement with normal glucose, A1C, insulin and liver tests now after at least 30 years of abnormal ones and not working on my health. I am so happy to be able to commit to me now. With Sean O’Mara strategies and the new awareness for me as a person and as a doctor about VF. And I intend to repeat the MRI in 6-9 months to see my own results better. A journey for optimal health and a functional body. Thank you for being here and for your journey of healing as well. 😊
Would have loved to have heard more about Dexa Scan's and its differences in value vs an MRI. There are many places you can get a Dexa scan for $50-$100 without insurance.
Great Discussion...I am battling a healthcare system in the UK, had MRI, full body CT scans, but all I get back to me the end user is "unremarkable" in reports so frustrating as I take personal responsibility for my own health and want to see the details
So the monetary value for a DEXA scan would be way cheaper than an MRI and the information from each one would be different as well. You could get by doing your own research in your area on clinics and hospitals an MRI of the upper abdomen without intravenous contrast for around $500. Remember, you won’t have to repeat this too soon as you want to implement this strategies from Dr. Sean OMara, and wait for your body to heal and see the results daily by commitment and consistency and later on repeat the MRI maybe in a year. The DEXA scan, gives you information about the whole fat in your body with no discrimination, it is really good to tell you about your muscle mass, however, does not demonstrate fatty replacement in the muscles and it is also great to evaluate for bone mass, which is so important when we are aging to avoid fractures and definitely walking in strength training improves your bone density as well with sunshine and normal levels of vitamin D, three and calcium The MRI would give you since engagement through your vision You will be able to see the amount of VF you have and also the deep subcutaneous fat, separated from the superficial subcutaneous fat and also the fats surrounding your heart in your lower chest and additionally to look for fat, replacing your muscles, and also evaluating the structures in your abdomen, your liver, and possible fatty liver, your pain is impossible fat in your pancreas, and everything else which would come in the report of the Radiologist Unfortunately, the report might not say anything about VF yet, however I am planning on doing additional videos on that and also you can find very knowledgeable and amazing and useful information on Sean OMara,, TH-cam videos, podcast, Instagram, and by contacting him as well My intention is that we are all going to be a voice spreading for health and getting more and more physicians involved in optimizing protocols and finally getting insurance and the government and all the important people involved as well to make it affordable for everybody Hope this helps We walk this journey together
Thanks for this video. So enlightening. Can you do a follow up video interview that relates LDL, HDL, VLDL and visceral fat in the metabolic landscape to make people like me understand more about fats? Thank you and God bless.
Sean O’Mara talks about this is his videos. Look for him and you will learn and understand how these levels are misconceived as for today and for so long. VF is the real biomarker that has been silent and ignored. For lipid panel, you would want Higher HDL and a better ratio of them and triglycerides. He explains all this very well. Hope this will be helpful. Keep walking the health journey. 😊
Dr Rosa is wonderful!! Absolutely love her - her passion and dedication is so evident and I wish her all the best in creating the best version of herself! So what, if any, is an acceptable level of visceral fat? 1 liter??
The less, the better. Zero would be your aim. Having in the body just fat that is bit inflammatory in nature. And again, one step at a time in the journey of healing the body and optimizing your health. I and the vast majority of all people are so sick with so severe VF that any decrease creates noticeable improvement and I can assure you that. From my own journey. One day at a time. Strategies well taught by my friend Sean O’Mara. Keep walking your path. Building a functional body. Journey for a joyful life. 😊
I agree. Unfortunately the mouse was not working. I plan on doing some additional videos showing it better. Thank you for being protective and sharing your insight. I agree.😊
and this is where the MRI power resides better that the dexa or any other methods. It shows the real truth inside your body. And the shocking sense you are having is the engagement with your senses, brain and feelings. Imagine if these images were yours. You could not unsee them anymore. They would register in your mind as a memory picture of being unhealthy. And action would be ignited for sure. See in the enemy. And quantifying it as a memory picture. 😊
There have been many such videos that talk about doing mri scans (amongst others) to detect the amount of fat. Yet, it is only "good to know" because most people cannot afford such scans. It would be useful to invite those making decisions about such costs to discuss how to make such scans affordable instead.
Wow thank you both, just stumbled in your channel, very interesting, should there be a blood taste or scan that measures visceral and subcutaneous fat in all our organs?
In Canada, if I ask my doctor for an MRI, my doctor will laugh at me, and we don't have privatized healthcare. I understand many Americans will also have issues accessing an MRI. This MRI is not viable for most people.
There are clinics who do it out of pocket. For more reasonable prices. Keep in mind you won’t repeat it very often. As you have to implement the strategies to get healthier. And wait for results and repeat maybe in a year. It is an investment in your health. Your major wealth. Without health, nothing else really matters. Specially in a long term plan. I hope that we all coming together as a unique voice, the information will spread and providers and insurance will come with us for optimal health. One person at a time. One step at a time. Own your health. You are your only advocate for being healthy. For life.
Fascinating. I ran a marathon a couple years ago. You do train more of your slow twitch muscle for sure, but also cross train and strength train. You also eat more carbs. I could only go 13-14 miles before I really felt I needed to refuel. With marathon running, it's recommended to consume about 20 gms carbs for every hour of running. This also really hits home just how much diet plays a role. I could have moderate or severe fat despite the hundreds of lunges, weighted squats, despite the hours of core body exercises, despite the dozens of miles run and cycled each week. A bit depressing and hope sucking too.
Indeed you are right. No need for depressing thoughts and diminished hope. When we know better, we do better. Awareness is key for changes and growth to a new result for optimal health. I have severe VF and although it is sad, I am grateful for awareness and saying yes to me and my life. Implementing strategies. To heal my body for functionality and optimal health. And we walk this journey together. 😊
@@linda7279 Every runner out there. I'm guessing you're not a long distance runner. Otherwise you would know what it feels like and know about that wall runners refer to. Every experienced long distance runner I chatted with, running blogs, a book Your Running Body, Runner's World. When you're serious about running you form a community and network.
I’m wondering the same thing. I had a DexaFit scan done last June, and I had 2.17 pounds of visceral fat. I’ve been working on it since. I was told at the DexaFit place that anything over four pounds they worry about. I then asked Dr. Sean Omara on TH-cam, and he said less is better. Still no definitive answer so I’m curious as well. Is it possible to have zero visceral fat? I don’t know.
@@bettykramos1802, thank you for finding out. Oh that’s going to be tough, but I’ve been working on it. When us women go through menopause, our visceral fat is prone to increasing. Everyday I’m careful of what I eat.
Zero would be your goal. The less the better Dexa shows a number that sums up all the fat in your body. And the muscle mass and bone mass. Valuable information. I would plan on having an MRI. So you will “see” your own reality. And keep moving on healing from there. Thank you for being supportive. We are all in the same journey towards optimizing health. 💙
@@anarosagratitude Thanks for your reply! Loved the video by the way not just for your explanation on visceral fat, but more your closing comments on a humanitarian level. Well done.👏
I understand that an MRI or CT scan is good for showing Visceral Fat, however these scans are not easily available and prohibitively expensive for many people, so my question is about other ways of detecting Visceral Fat, for example what about ultrasound scan, because ultrasound scans are far cheaper and readily available!
A radiologist becoming aware of VF could describe it in any kind of scan. US definitely shows it. And I am using it in my patients. However, the value of the MRI with no contrast or radiation is that it would be safe, as ultrasound is. But the patient would “see” the VF inside the abdomen, the fat around the heart and in the muscles, the liver and the pancreas. Not only a report from the radiologist. But literally see it and engage with the body senses in a more effective way to take action. Which is what I am sharing in my own journey of reversing my own VF. Come with me. On my Instagram. 🙏🏻
Bodybuilding from middle age is a great discipline, the diet required to be shredded will be great for this, no need for drugs, although some do accelerate the fat loss. Just keep the fat in a downward trend. I peaked at 112kg, i just cut by 5kg a year whatever i need to do, and keep it there. Dont stress the body.
Yes. He is my friend, my doctor. And my mentor. He is the one who brought awareness to my work daily. In regards to describe visceral fat. And I am grateful for him and his work. Thank you for being supportive. We are all in the same journey towards optimizing health. 💙
MRI has different sequences. For a T2 sequence which is the one we use more for VF the fascia is dark. The lymphatics follow the neurovascular structures. The lymph nodes are also seen and have different size criteria and morphology to be called abnormal. 😊
The latest on alcohol is we should not have any! Excess proteinturns to fat! Please check. You're correct about visceral fat . Please let know about eating too much protein. I understand an excess of protein turns to fat.
I had a friend who recently passed away unexpectedly. I believe he was a TOFI (thin on the outside and fat on the inside). He was only 53 years old. They said it was a pulmonary embolism, but it does make me wonder if visceral fat had a part in his death. Very sad.
So very sorry for your loss. Keep your heart opened to healing your soul and spreading the word and the work to all around you. Your friend being honored by the way you heal yourself. 🙏🏻
I have not heard about this. I will do my diligent research. Thank you for being here and letting us know. We all walk this healing journey together. 😊
Dr. Ana is delightful ! Super informative. Scary that we are all victims of marketing by big business and their designer addictive junk foods. We can pay now for real food or pay later with our shortened healthspan and high medical bills for band- aid prescriptions and poor health.
I have some degree of claustrophobia too. I tell myself to stand still. Focus on breathing. Close my eyes. Listen to the music you like better. And focus on them. Most likely the whole scan will run with 6 songs or less. Keep this in mind. And count them down. You could also get some kind of medication to calm you down. You would need to consult your provider for that. I would avoid it. As you could use the techniques I described to soothe your brain. Or praying. Or talking to yourself. At least it is what I do and it works for me and some of my friends.
I don’t have money for an MRI but I think a safe bet would be to work on building muscle while reducing the actions and foods that increase visceral fat anyway. Why not?
Absolutely. Strategies to keep optimizing your body. An MRI could be 500 dollars with good research on your local hospitals/ clinics. You could always save some money little by little and get the mri later on and check your results. I would love to look at your images for you. How much could you save per week or per month so you could plan and schedule your MRI in the next 6 months or a year? Just a thought. 🙏🏻
ox bile has been a miracle for me thank God, FInally I can digest and utilize fat and my love handles have shrunk a lot! vitamins and minerals are CRITICAL , get them.
You might be avoiding ionizing radiation and contrast but I wonder about the effects of the strong magnetic and electrical fields from an MRI. We’re electromagnetic beings also.
Indeed we are. And this fact is what allow the MRI to get the images captured and recorded. I guess as a doctor I would say that MRI gas been used for a long time with no damaging effects documented when done without contrast, hence it is done for fetal MRI in pregnant woman. On the other hand, chronic accumulation of VF in our bodies is definitely damaging and inflammation driven. I can say from my own experience. And improving daily by the strategies for optimal health. 😊
@@anarosagratitude people can implement the lifestyle changes necessary to prevent/treat visceral fat and many other ailments without potentially harmful and expensive diagnostics. The radio frequency energy used during the MRI scan affects the body which is one of many reasons why you’re in a different room. People can do their own independent research and weigh the pros and cons for their own unique situation.
so what this video is telling me is to eat right but do not do 30 min long runs? cause i do 3 miles in 30 minutes. i should then run sprints between it.
You should quit the running. Do walking and sprinting. Check Dr. Sean O’Mara. He explains and shows how to do the sprinting and heal your VF. He is my friend and mentor and doctor. In my journey .
Your guest is truly fascinating . When you have someone on like her , you need to introduce her, & close at the end, you need to do nothing else. Take a coffee break, she is totally good enough to do her own show. Not to be rude but she is who we want to hear from. Please don’t keep interfering. I hope she has a book out. My new hero.
Save your money from these other tests. And invest your money in your health. Which is your major wealth. Own your health. Take good care of your only real asset. Your body. 🙏🏻
Big pharma controls the media and several countries, that is my observation. My bmi was excellent and then I ended up in the CCU. I use to walk / swim a lot and eat really healthy. But the bad fat is in there. Now I eat a soaked chia,pumpkin,dried cherries, hemp, flax & sesame bowl and add flax milk every morning and started strength training and no alcohol. I just started 2 weeks ago, so I will retest my visceral fat in 3 months. I think the visceral fat was from my life through age of 20-50 and thinking red wine & lattes were good for me and grains😮, sorry but there not! After 4 days in the CCU, I figured that walking / swimming isn’t enough. Weight training is the key! I still walk but that’s for the dog, now. I am 5’8 and 125 but have high visceral fat plaque. Yuck That you for your video. How do we get in touch with the doctor?
@@kelleemerson9510 that's for sure. But it might be a case for drinking it, and you can search for a clean, without chemical, options to have it. Bone broth is also a high protein option that often is not considered.
Absolutely. And also other areas of ectopic fat. Fat in the muscles and pancreas as well. Thank you for being supportive. We are all in the same journey towards optimizing health. 💙
The dexa scan evaluates the whole amount of fat in your body. It does not fully discriminate VF. It also talks about your lean muscle mass and bone mass. The bioimpedance gives you an average of the VF amount. The MRI allows you to really see the VF within your belly/abdomen. It really engages you to work on reversing it better. As you see the real amount of it. And in addition allows you to evaluate organs for fat in the liver and pancreas and also in the muscles. 😊

ditching all grain, sugar and processed food was the best thing I ever did. All my carbs now come from different varieties of sweet potato and squash. Eat meat, fish, eggs, nuts and veggies too- all single ingredient foods I cook myself. Arthritis gone in a week, dropped 40lbs in 2 months, doing workouts (running and lifting) I couldn't do in my 20s.
The amazing thing going to a whole food diet is the amount I eat- 4000+ calories a day to keep myself at 150lbs. Granted I run and lift most mornings, but I used to try starving myself on a grain based/processed food diet and was 40lbs heavier eating half as much. Now I shovel food in my face all day just to keep from losing, trying to bulk a bit and add more lean mass has turned into full time eating.
Sprinting is better than running
i had kidney failure with lupus a few years ago and watched quite a few vegan video this is so important watch everything you are eating and drinking move if possible get outside more fine now as well as possible found out calcium was a big problem with what i had if i eat to much could end up with osteoarthritis and worse calcium depletes calcium unfortunately

If my weight has been dropping or steady the past couple days I add in a pint of keto ice cream for desert (650-900 calories depending on the flavor).
Also have the occasional quest bar or protein shake or some more nuts/snacking thrown in here and there- sometimes wake up hungry at 1AM and have to have a bar or some peanut butter before going back to bed so a lot of days I'm probably close to 5K alot of days but it probably averages out to somewhere around 4200-4500 calories a day.
Eating this way habitually the past 4 months I've slowly crept from 147ish to about 152lbs but some of that may be from adding creatine recently too. I was trying to do whole foods only but kept losing weight so I added in the quest bars, extra peanut butter, and keto icecream in an effort to bulk, shooting for 160-165lbs at 10%BF as my goal.
This was excellent Dhru. Thank you. I follow Dr. Sean O’Mara who talks about visceral fat as well.
I love Sean. And he introduced Dhru to me. We are all in a journey of optimizing ourselves.
I ❤this level of detail and information. I'm a city bus driver and will be 60 in May. Have recently implemented a sustainable fasting regimen to help me lose 35 lbs in 8 months.

I am glad you are working on your health. Check Sean 0’Mara strategies. You will keep improving exponentially. We are all healing together. 😊
Long, slow distance running with a high-carb low-fat diet were the bullets that shot most of us in the 70 and 80s to get tons of visceral skinny fat throughout our organs and liver.
Sad true. Glad we know better now, and we can do better from now on!

Excellent presentation! Tks Dhru. And tks to Dr Ana Rosa. She is such a humble, smart, and dedicated human being! Bravo 🙏
As so many in the past, my family owned the farm and ate mainly the dairy and the carbs. Almost all lived to their late 90s and died relatively healthy.
Carbs?
They would’ve live 110-120yrs if they would’ve not eat bad carbs and diary
Nothing wrong with dairy or carbs in moderation foods were wholesome now all foods are full of pesticides enjoy your chemical sandwich
OMG! Thank God we are hearing this podcast! I had no idea being overweight was so dangerous! Thank you for speaking to us! You are educating each and everyone of us on the importance of eating healthy and changing our ways!❤
She's so positive and kind, I loved listening to her.
I haven't heard you discuss brown fat which I understand is a thin layer next to the bone. Some doctors say you can eat to ignite brown fat to burn visceral fat. I'd appreciate hearing your opinion on that. I love the info you've provided in this interview! ❤
Brown fat has specific locations. It is mainly in your suprackavicular areas; and like you said thin adjacent to bones, mid upper back. You can increase and make it more metabolic by cold therapy. And increases metabolism. Strategies for burning VF will help with brown fat activation.
Take cold showers
@@jactac838cold showers or any cold therapy would definitely stimulate the brown fat . 😊
Meat heals.
Always learning. I only thought there was visceral and subcutaneous fat, not the other levels. I will be definitely sharing this episode and watching this again myself. Thank you Dhru 🤗
Thank you for being supportive. You definitely want to reverse ectopic fat, visceral fat, deep subcutaneous fat. All metabolic unhealthy releasing inflammatory molecules in your body and damaging your health.
Thank you so much for an informative interview, Dhru, and imparting your actionable wisdom and knowledge, Dr. Rosa.
Dr. Sean OMara was the first to talk about the need to get rid of visceral fat in the belly. He has a lot of experience and knowledge in this topic.
YES! Sean is my doctor and friend and mentor and guide! Come follow my journey. Let’s keep doing it together!! 😊
This is such a great topic! Thanks for sharing. I am not surprised that the population is getting sicker year by year. Look who works in the doctors offices. High percentage of doctors and nurses working in the healthcare are overweight, some are obese. When they tell me to eat less fat or whatever it makes me smile. All I want to ask them - why don’t you follow your own advice?
Thank you for being supportive. Starts with awareness and walking the journey of healing. 😊
Funny but true
Another reason why your body builds up visceral fat as you become older, is because your bodies hormone production decreases which leads to a loss of muscle mass. This loss of muscle mass (or gaps in the muscle) is replaced by visceral fat.
I love love love this detailed video! Thanks !
Ever since dr o’mara got the ball rolling, more people are acknowledging this problem which is very good 👍
I love Sean. He is my personal friend, mentor and doctor. A light for health to the world. 😊

This is lovely! Please don't talk at the same time. Although in real live people overlap each other and it is so polite to make sounds of approval, for professional interview it is better to speak one at a time becouse it is easier on the ears.

Excellent public health announcement🐸as a young feeling senior I am constantly trying to get my old friends with health issues to be more proactive and make some changes to lifestyle, unfortunately due to their learned behavior 99% think they just need a pill or operation to fix themselves and are unable/unwilling to modify their lifestyle❤️their disease defines who they are, not their lifestyle🐸thank you
Thank you for being supportive.
Keep spreading the work and the word.
We heal together in this journey.
Same here. 99% of people I encounter with significant health issues won't consider a lifestyle change (cut way back on carbs), preferring a pill and not considering the side-effects.
This is incredible! Thank you for sharing this important topic with us.
Thank you for being supportive.
Can we just assume we all have that and take action, no need to go spend a lot of money getting tested just to find out you have a lot of visceral fat.
I rather spent the money buying good quality food. 🤗
Absolutely proper thinking 💪
@@Naturestheway Yes~ Knowing the exact % of that fat does what for one's plan of healthful actions?
You could assume that you have lots of visceral fat. Due to the environment we live now. The mri is beneficial to engage more in the strategies to get better and to folllow up your improvement. Which is positive feedback and reinforcement.
I believe you might be strong will oriented. Do what is best and work better for you. Just keep doing it. And the results will come. Watch Sean O’Mara. Learn the effective strategies and you will keep optimizing your health and your life. 💙
@@anarosagratitudethank you for sharing your knowledge! 💙
There must be a biochemical marker resulting from the metabolic activity of visceral fat. Find it and and get a Nobel prize.
That is amazing information! Thank you both of you!
Thank you for being supportive! 💙
The best quote I’ve heard in a while came while I was watching the bluezones show on Netflix “We hope for health but incent for sickness. All the money lies in waiting for you to get sick and then getting paid to heal you. Expensive and ineffective.
Indeed. Let’s use the money to reverse and prevent diseases. And optimize our health and bodies for a full joyful life. 😊
Western medicine doesn’t even heal in my opinion. An antidepressant doesn’t “heal.” It alleviates symptoms. A pill for hypertension lowers blood pressure. Are you healed? No. There’s no money in true healing for the pharmaceutical industry.
An excellent presentation and a must for all doctors and patients alike.
Watched this numerous times as content so good and well explained.
Absolutely love this guest!
Really excellent show. I have learned so much. It should be hospital policy that that all MRI’s should include a visceral fat report when the Radiologist writes their impression on the report.
Thank you for a very interesting and informative presentation.
I was cycling 125 miles per week - fasted - and getting fatter and fatter. I cut the cycling to around 50 miles per week and started doing resistance training at home 4x per week with dumbells, eating more, especially protein. It was weird as I'm so used to cutting calories. But it worked. I'm 58 and stronger and slimmer than I've been since my teens.
What just protein
No! I increased everything I ate (whole foods) but I increased my protein consumption by more. I had hardly been eating any at all.

I am doing the talking without cheating for the last 3 months only.
I still have severe VF in my mri.
Working with the strategies daily.
Getting improvement with normal glucose, A1C, insulin and liver tests now after at least 30 years of abnormal ones and not working on my health.
I am so happy to be able to commit to me now. With Sean O’Mara strategies and the new awareness for me as a person and as a doctor about VF. And I intend to repeat the MRI in 6-9 months to see my own results better.
A journey for optimal health and a functional body.

Thank you for being supportive. Keep waking your healing journey!! 😊
Be your person. Get your back. Commitment

Compassion
Would have loved to have heard more about Dexa Scan's and its differences in value vs an MRI. There are many places you can get a Dexa scan for $50-$100 without insurance.
I posted the report for dexa versus mri here. Not sure where it exactly is. Sorry. Hope it will be helpful.
Loved this episode! Learned so much. Thank you Dhru and Dr. Rosa!
Thank you for being supportive. We are all in the same journey towards optimizing health. 💙
You both doing such a wonderful work, thanks from bottom of my heart from Australia.👍🏼🙏🏻☯️
Great Discussion...I am battling a healthcare system in the UK, had MRI, full body CT scans, but all I get back to me the end user is "unremarkable" in reports so frustrating as I take personal responsibility for my own health and want to see the details
So the monetary value for a DEXA scan would be way cheaper than an MRI and the information from each one would be different as well. You could get by doing your own research in your area on clinics and hospitals an MRI of the upper abdomen without intravenous contrast for around $500. Remember, you won’t have to repeat this too soon as you want to implement this strategies from Dr. Sean OMara, and wait for your body to heal and see the results daily by commitment and consistency and later on repeat the MRI maybe in a year.
The DEXA scan, gives you information about the whole fat in your body with no discrimination, it is really good to tell you about your muscle mass, however, does not demonstrate fatty replacement in the muscles and it is also great to evaluate for bone mass, which is so important when we are aging to avoid fractures and definitely walking in strength training improves your bone density as well with sunshine and normal levels of vitamin D, three and calcium
The MRI would give you since engagement through your vision
You will be able to see the amount of VF you have and also the deep subcutaneous fat, separated from the superficial subcutaneous fat and also the fats surrounding your heart in your lower chest and additionally to look for fat, replacing your muscles, and also evaluating the structures in your abdomen, your liver, and possible fatty liver, your pain is impossible fat in your pancreas, and everything else which would come in the report of the Radiologist
Unfortunately, the report might not say anything about VF yet, however I am planning on doing additional videos on that and also you can find very knowledgeable and amazing and useful information on Sean OMara,, TH-cam videos, podcast, Instagram, and by contacting him as well
My intention is that we are all going to be a voice spreading for health and getting more and more physicians involved in optimizing protocols and finally getting insurance and the government and all the important people involved as well to make it affordable for everybody
Hope this helps
We walk this journey together
Excelente fala parabens dra ROSA orgulho para nos 🇧🇷
Thanks for this video. So enlightening. Can you do a follow up video interview that relates LDL, HDL, VLDL and visceral fat in the metabolic landscape to make people like me understand more about fats? Thank you and God bless.
Sean O’Mara talks about this is his videos. Look for him and you will learn and understand how these levels are misconceived as for today and for so long. VF is the real biomarker that has been silent and ignored. For lipid panel, you would want Higher HDL and a better ratio of them and triglycerides. He explains all this very well. Hope this will be helpful. Keep walking the health journey. 😊
Thanx so much for this very important knowledge
Thank you for being supportive. We are all in the same journey towards optimizing health. 💙
You should bring on Dr Sean O'Mara on this topic
Excellent idea!
He did
He had a prior podcast with Dhru. He is my mentor and friend. I keep learning daily from him and with him. 🙏🏻
Dr Rosa is wonderful!! Absolutely love her - her passion and dedication is so evident and I wish her all the best in creating the best version of herself!
So what, if any, is an acceptable level of visceral fat? 1 liter??
The less, the better. Zero would be your aim. Having in the body just fat that is bit inflammatory in nature.
And again, one step at a time in the journey of healing the body and optimizing your health.
I and the vast majority of all people are so sick with so severe VF that any decrease creates noticeable improvement and I can assure you that. From my own journey. One day at a time. Strategies well taught by my friend Sean O’Mara.
Keep walking your path. Building a functional body. Journey for a joyful life. 😊

Thank you for being protective and sharing your insight. I agree.😊
A BMI of 24 (9 people) yet all are vastly different as far as visceral fat goes. Very eye opening. @11:11
Thank you for being supportive. It is astonishing, isn’t it? 😊
@@anarosagratitude Seeing those pictures is shocking.
and this is where the MRI power resides better that the dexa or any other methods. It shows the real truth inside your body. And the shocking sense you are having is the engagement with your senses, brain and feelings. Imagine if these images were yours. You could not unsee them anymore. They would register in your mind as a memory picture of being unhealthy. And action would be ignited for sure. See in the enemy. And quantifying it as a memory picture. 😊
I’m a 23 and this was very illuminating!
We’re just not meant to eat so much
There have been many such videos that talk about doing mri scans (amongst others) to detect the amount of fat. Yet, it is only "good to know" because most people cannot afford such scans. It would be useful to invite those making decisions about such costs to discuss how to make such scans affordable instead.
Wow thank you both, just stumbled in your channel, very interesting, should there be a blood taste or scan that measures visceral and subcutaneous fat in all our organs?
That would be the MRI with no radiation.
Great interview. Thank you.
Thank you for being supportive. 😊
i wish this video had sections i can find what i want easier but so far im listening
Come follow my journey of reversing my own visceral fat. Getting better together.🙏🏻
In Canada, if I ask my doctor for an MRI, my doctor will laugh at me, and we don't have privatized healthcare. I understand many Americans will also have issues accessing an MRI. This MRI is not viable for most people.
There are clinics who do it out of pocket. For more reasonable prices. Keep in mind you won’t repeat it very often. As you have to implement the strategies to get healthier. And wait for results and repeat maybe in a year.
It is an investment in your health. Your major wealth.
Without health, nothing else really matters.
Specially in a long term plan.
I hope that we all coming together as a unique voice, the information will spread and providers and insurance will come with us for optimal health.
One person at a time. One step at a time.
Own your health. You are your only advocate for being healthy. For life.
All hail Dr Sean Omara...🎉🎉
Dr. Ana Rosa ty
Fascinating. I ran a marathon a couple years ago. You do train more of your slow twitch muscle for sure, but also cross train and strength train. You also eat more carbs. I could only go 13-14 miles before I really felt I needed to refuel. With marathon running, it's recommended to consume about 20 gms carbs for every hour of running.
This also really hits home just how much diet plays a role. I could have moderate or severe fat despite the hundreds of lunges, weighted squats, despite the hours of core body exercises, despite the dozens of miles run and cycled each week. A bit depressing and hope sucking too.
Indeed you are right.
No need for depressing thoughts and diminished hope.
When we know better, we do better.
Awareness is key for changes and growth to a new result for optimal health.
I have severe VF and although it is sad, I am grateful for awareness and saying yes to me and my life. Implementing strategies. To heal my body for functionality and optimal health.
And we walk this journey together.
😊
Recomended by who?
@@linda7279 Every runner out there. I'm guessing you're not a long distance runner. Otherwise you would know what it feels like and know about that wall runners refer to.
Every experienced long distance runner I chatted with, running blogs, a book Your Running Body, Runner's World. When you're serious about running you form a community and network.
Very interesting that long distance training results in certain muscle degeneration that gets replaced by visceral fat.
How much visceral fat is good to have? Or is a zero best? I can’t find definitive info about it. I had a DEXA recently
I’m wondering the same thing. I had a DexaFit scan done last June, and I had 2.17 pounds of visceral fat. I’ve been working on it since. I was told at the DexaFit place that anything over four pounds they worry about. I then asked Dr. Sean Omara on TH-cam, and he said less is better. Still no definitive answer so I’m curious as well. Is it possible to have zero visceral fat? I don’t know.
@@crh251 I just sent him a text. I will share if he responds 👍
@@crh251 He says no VAT. Zero is best. Damn
@@bettykramos1802, thank you for finding out. Oh that’s going to be tough, but I’ve been working on it. When us women go through menopause, our visceral fat is prone to increasing. Everyday I’m careful of what I eat.
Zero would be your goal.
The less the better
Dexa shows a number that sums up all the fat in your body.
And the muscle mass and bone mass. Valuable information.

Very good,but we cant see what she is pointing to on the scans ❤
Sorry for the lack of a functioning mouse. Thank you for being understanding. I will make additional videos on my instagram to be of help.
I understand that an MRI or CT scan is good for showing Visceral Fat, however these scans are not easily available and prohibitively expensive for many people, so my question is about other ways of detecting Visceral Fat, for example what about ultrasound scan, because ultrasound scans are far cheaper and readily available!
A radiologist becoming aware of VF could describe it in any kind of scan. US definitely shows it. And I am using it in my patients. However, the value of the MRI with no contrast or radiation is that it would be safe, as ultrasound is. But the patient would “see” the VF inside the abdomen, the fat around the heart and in the muscles, the liver and the pancreas. Not only a report from the radiologist. But literally see it and engage with the body senses in a more effective way to take action. Which is what I am sharing in my own journey of reversing my own VF. Come with me. On my Instagram. 🙏🏻
Bodybuilding from middle age is a great discipline, the diet required to be shredded will be great for this, no need for drugs, although some do accelerate the fat loss. Just keep the fat in a downward trend. I peaked at 112kg, i just cut by 5kg a year whatever i need to do, and keep it there. Dont stress the body.
Is Ana Claudia and Sean Omara working in the same line of study and same state?

Does the fascia and lymph system show up on MRIs also? What color would they be?
MRI has different sequences. For a T2 sequence which is the one we use more for VF the fascia is dark. The lymphatics follow the neurovascular structures. The lymph nodes are also seen and have different size criteria and morphology to be called abnormal. 😊
Great video.. makes me Think
Come walk with me my own journey. Healing together. 🙏🏻
The latest on alcohol is we should not have any! Excess proteinturns to fat! Please check. You're correct about visceral fat . Please let know about eating too much protein. I understand an excess of protein turns to fat.
I had a friend who recently passed away unexpectedly. I believe he was a TOFI (thin on the outside and fat on the inside). He was only 53 years old. They said it was a pulmonary embolism, but it does make me wonder if visceral fat had a part in his death. Very sad.

How to do MRI if I’m claustrophobic?🤔
I have some degree of claustrophobia too.
I tell myself to stand still. Focus on breathing. Close my eyes. Listen to the music you like better. And focus on them. Most likely the whole scan will run with 6 songs or less. Keep this in mind. And count them down.
You could also get some kind of medication to calm you down. You would need to consult your provider for that. I would avoid it. As you could use the techniques I described to soothe your brain. Or praying. Or talking to yourself. At least it is what I do and it works for me and some of my friends.
I get my beef from a pasture raised farmer in NW NJ. It has some marbling, not a lot, even w/o grain. FYI
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
I don’t have money for an MRI but I think a safe bet would be to work on building muscle while reducing the actions and foods that increase visceral fat anyway. Why not?
Absolutely. Strategies to keep optimizing your body.
An MRI could be 500 dollars with good research on your local hospitals/ clinics.
You could always save some money little by little and get the mri later on and check your results. I would love to look at your images for you.
How much could you save per week or per month so you could plan and schedule your
MRI in the next 6 months or a year? Just a thought. 🙏🏻
ox bile has been a miracle for me thank God, FInally I can digest and utilize fat and my love handles have shrunk a lot! vitamins and minerals are CRITICAL , get them.
You might be avoiding ionizing radiation and contrast but I wonder about the effects of the strong magnetic and electrical fields from an MRI. We’re electromagnetic beings also.
Indeed we are. And this fact is what allow the MRI to get the images captured and recorded. I guess as a doctor I would say that MRI gas been used for a long time with no damaging effects documented when done without contrast, hence it is done for fetal MRI in pregnant woman.
On the other hand, chronic accumulation of VF in our bodies is definitely damaging and inflammation driven. I can say from my own experience. And improving daily by the strategies for optimal health. 😊
@@anarosagratitude people can implement the lifestyle changes necessary to prevent/treat visceral fat and many other ailments without potentially harmful and expensive diagnostics. The radio frequency energy used during the MRI scan affects the body which is one of many reasons why you’re in a different room. People can do their own independent research and weigh the pros and cons for their own unique situation.
It’s proved that magnetic waves of mri don’t affect the human body
so what this video is telling me is to eat right but do not do 30 min long runs? cause i do 3 miles in 30 minutes.
i should then run sprints between it.
You should quit the running. Do walking and sprinting. Check Dr. Sean O’Mara. He explains and shows how to do the sprinting and heal your VF. He is my friend and mentor and doctor. In my journey .

Is there a cheaper way to know your visceral fat? A proxy metric maybe body fat percentage?
Save your money from these other tests. And invest your money in your health. Which is your major wealth. Own your health. Take good care of your only real asset. Your body. 🙏🏻
Big pharma controls the media and several countries, that is my observation.
My bmi was excellent and then I ended up in the CCU. I use to walk / swim a lot and eat really healthy. But the bad fat is in there. Now I eat a soaked chia,pumpkin,dried cherries, hemp, flax & sesame bowl and add flax milk every morning and started strength training and no alcohol. I just started 2 weeks ago, so I will retest my visceral fat in 3 months.
I think the visceral fat was from my life through age of 20-50 and thinking red wine & lattes were good for me and grains😮, sorry but there not!
After 4 days in the CCU, I figured that walking / swimming isn’t enough. Weight training is the key! I still walk but that’s for the dog, now.
I am 5’8 and 125 but have high visceral fat plaque. Yuck
That you for your video. How do we get in touch with the doctor?
Im due for a spinal mri. Would it also show the abdomen area?
No. The sequences and field of view are different and will be tailored for your lumbar spine only.

@@kelleemerson9510 that's for sure. But it might be a case for drinking it, and you can search for a clean, without chemical, options to have it. Bone broth is also a high protein option that often is not considered.

Thanks so much.A exposing fatal information lacking in Med .school B plz expose fast food
Visceral fat and the amount of fat in your liver are both important
Absolutely. And also other areas of ectopic fat. Fat in the muscles and pancreas as well.
Thank you for being supportive. We are all in the same journey towards optimizing health. 💙
Can we get a full body dexa scan instead of the MRI? It’s much cheaper.
The dexa scan evaluates the whole amount of fat in your body. It does not fully discriminate VF. It also talks about your lean muscle mass and bone mass. The bioimpedance gives you an average of the VF amount. The MRI allows you to really see the VF within your belly/abdomen. It really engages you to work on reversing it better. As you see the real amount of it. And in addition allows you to evaluate organs for fat in the liver and pancreas and also in the muscles. 😊
@@anarosagratitude thanks! I wish it was affordable! If so, I’d do it in a heartbeat (no pun intended!)
