In the pursuit of optimal health, physicians and individuals must broaden their perspective beyond the visible, subcutaneous fat. Often fixated on this outer layer, doctors might overlook signs of metabolic dysfunction in leaner individuals and miss the silent killer beneath the surface. Addressing visceral fat levels can unlock the secrets to longevity and redefine the well-being standards for all.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Ana Claudia Rosa to discuss visceral fat as the silent killer behind inflammation in our body, which ultimately leads to most chronic diseases. Dr. Rosa shares MRI images to show how individuals with the same body mass index can have varying degrees of visceral fat that can significantly impact their health. Dr. Rosa also shares the lifestyle factors that increase visceral fat and the factors we can hone in on to reverse the percentage of visceral fat in our body. If you are looking to deep dive into visceral fat, this episode is for you!

Dr. Rosa is an expert on visceral fat, emphasizing its significance in detection and detailed reporting.
