Reverse Visceral Fat & Chronic Inflammation NOW! with Sean O'Mara, MD, JD

hello my friends today I'm talking about one of the most important subjects when it comes to metabolic Health that we can discuss visceral fat and chronic inflammation and I've got a special guest with me today whose opinion I promise you're going to want to hear uh when you hear this guy's age and see his physical ability Now versus how he used to be his story uh it makes is even better than mine so please stay just stay with us listen to this it may run long if so I promise the information is going to be worth it you can listen to this as a podcast or you can watch it uh we're both fairly good looking so I don't think it's going to hurt you if you if you watch this but you can just listen to it like a podcast and do other things at the same time we're actually live with my private group our community they'll be able to ask questions uh to Dr omaro you can watch this on YouTube when I post it or listen to it as a podcast but only tribe members get to ask my experts questions so let me bring Dr Omar he stepped out of the screen momentarily here he comes here he is all right hello doctor how's it going uh it's going really good Dr Perry how are you I'm doing great if I was any better I'd need a special permit if you and I have been trying to make this conversation happen for a while and I'm glad we're finally able to do it so welcome yeah well thank you uh thank you very much for having me and I appreciate the opportunity to share uh with your audience absolutely so we're live inside of our private Community right now so we'll all be getting questions from them and if you don't mind I'll pop a few of those on the screen as we go along absolutely questions that are relevant so you can kind of expound on those I want to uh start with a an image if you don't mind I want you to tell us what is this and image of sure so this is an image of some analysis that we do that we have figured out and looking at a particular biomarker in the body visceral fat that it relates to uh not only Health but specifically performance so as you get rid of this interesting but uh very dangerous tissue in your body you can just perform better so this guy to the left is about the same age as me but he's got a much higher amount of visceral fat than I do on the right and so the image allows us to analyze and track this interesting biomarker that relates to Performance so uh the angle formed by the the leg and the knee relative to the spine or the Torso is dramatically different in the two two images and it relates to Performance so it's you know Health a really biology is definitely mathematical there's a proportional relationship between disease and how well form we just haven't really been looking at the right markers in my opinion I honestly think we've been distracted for decades too long with cholesterol and we really should be looking at things that relate much more uh specifically to a person's level of Health their performance and really their quality of life so this image captures that and it's what I do with my client patients I track these particular angles to to as they eliminate visceral fat they start performing better so it's a nice way to quantify performance and tell us if you don't mind your age when when this picture was taken on the right so that was me about six months ago so it's about 50 I was 59 at the time 59 year old sprinting so I just I wonder how many people in their 50s or 60s or 70s can remember the last time that they actually sprinted and do and and do you even still uh dream dare to dream that you'll ever Sprint again for the rest of your life if you follow me I think you know what my answer to that would be and I think Dr Omar's answer is the same it may have been a few years since you sprinted but if you can still fog a mirror which means you ain't dead yet then there is hope that you can one day Sprint again and do other physical things that you probably just thought now that those days are behind me now uh I'm 54. and you're currently 59 is that correct no I'm currently 60 right now oh 60. so he's out of his 50s he's he's moved on to the next decade and so do not think for one minute that 50 is too old 60 is too old uh that might be a nice story you tell yourself but in reality it's just not true tell us Dr omara tell us a little bit about yourself before we get started in this conversation sure so uh I uh I grew up in the Washington DC area a typical background government worker my dad and uh I went to college at Penn State studied law enforcement and worked in uh as a police officer in Southern New Jersey and did Undercover narcotics work uh really had interesting experience doing that and then inside I wanted go to law school and worked as a criminal prosecutor for three years before deciding that I want to go to medical school I just had this intense interest in science I couldn't shake it and I was frustrated professionally it would not been able to optimize the criminal justice system so I took a job as a night Watchman wearing a polyester uniform sat and studied all night long and it got good enough grades to get into medical school and get a scholarship courtesy of the army and uh studied uh hard in medical school and became an emergency medicine physician and surge in U.S army active duty and had opportunities to take care of the president the vice president three secretaries of state and uh knew how to do executive uh Wellness Executive Health or the most important people in the world decided to do that for hedge fund and private wealthy individuals and then I noticed I couldn't get those people really interested in being healthy and I I was unhealthy at the time too I'd you know listen just like you to the the lectures in medical school and I thought fat was bad so I was terrified of fat and walked around the hospital drinking skim milk and chocolate powder in the skim milk and I became overweight and uh a young patient told me about at the time the paleo diet and I said I never heard of it what's the paleo diet and I went home and read about it and Ken I don't know why it just something just a switch flipped in my mind and it looked it made an inherent sense that it was so sad for me I sent the article off to my three two best friends in medical school and figured they would do it with me they gave it the Heisman they pushed it away they wouldn't have anything to it it took my best friend 10 years uh to eventually cut out carbohydrates and and uh and and at the time I had in a large prostate I had erectile dysfunction I had eczema I had restless leg syndromes I kicked my legs all night long I snored all night long because I had obstructive sleep apnea uh I had Barrett's esophagus so um I was being biopsied within EGD every three months I got so good at it that I wouldn't even use anesthesia they put that thing white Wide Awake down my throat and uh they would continually biopsy for looking for cancer because that's how bad that my aggressive Barrett's esophagus was and uh I had hypertension atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and uh I I was a mess you know and and uh that young man told me I would lose weight so I do these things I cut out processed foods I'm like all in and he never once told me so it it wasn't because of uh Auto suggestion or the placebo effect that I did the the paleo diet that my medical problems would improve I didn't anticipate that I just thought I'd lose weight and then one one day I recognized that I was peeing hard into the toilet after normally been dribbling for for a few years and waking up four to five times a night and uh just just the weakest urine stream and now I was peeing like a teenager again and uh I was just I was Furious because I I had this Epiphany I felt like uh everything I put my heart and soul into professionally as as an emergency medicine physician taking care of the most important person in the world the president United States and I felt like a fraud like like what I was taught uh was was nothing more than some sort of subterfuge because uh I just did not uh ever grasp that a diet eating healthy a lifestyle could not only improve my symptoms but in in the case of uh my conditions every one of them went away and so I walked from my very lucrative position as a emergency Mass physician and took up a position as a researcher because I was compelled to find out how this was possible and I just was very frustrated so that brings me up to today I became a researcher and started researching uh the intervention of uh of Life Strategies to improve and optimize health and uh I am the happiest and the healthiest I've ever been in my entire life yeah same for me my story very much Echoes yours uh and it it's you know I tell people part of the reason I'm so active on social media is trying to make up for the damage I did back when I gave just egregious nutrition advice my nutrition advice used to consist of oh just join Weight Watchers literally came out of my mouth I can't tell you how many thousand times the first five years of my medical practice so today we're going to be talking about visceral fat chronic inflammation and probably some other stuff thrown in as well and uh llama does in our private Community has got a question how can you differentiate between subcutaneous fat and visceral fat how how can you tell the difference at home how can a doctor tell the difference and also why why is it so important to differentiate the two doctor okay so to answer that question because that's what I study uh the best gold standard for studying visceral fat is an MRI but I will tell you up front that that is pretty pricey I hope that that price will come down as we make awareness of this interesting biomarker more prevalent I think the demand will increase and that price will cut down right now it's being used just to chase disease and make money off of it and we needed flip it and turn into something that we measure wellness and optimize people so an MRI would be my first recommendation a CT scan would also do a great job but it would expose you to radiation the MRI does it with higher resolution and with less radiation adexus can uses a smaller amount of radiation but it still uses radiation and it doesn't image the fat it doesn't allow you to see also fat in your muscle so um the MRI and we'll get into probably some of the those images of what it looks like inside the body and fat inside your inside your skeletal muscle which you really should be aware of but a dexa scan is is a real as a more affordable way of quantifying so it's just a number but in my experience it doesn't really motivate people that much numbers don't know you yeah they they have to you got to see that disease when your eyes uh look at disease in your body you get very very upset and you get very motivated and that's what you need to to make Lifestyle Changes now the poor man's uh way of assessing um uh visceral fat and I'll I'll share this secret with you and maybe we when we get some images I can make people Believers is through this proxy called Deep subcutaneous fat and deep subcutaneous fat corresponds to visceral fat the interesting thing about deep subcutaneous fat is outside your body and it's concentrated in one particular area posteriorly and that is in your love handles so I'm revealing it for the first time with Dr Dr Berry show here to let you know that maybe we have to study it more but anecdotally when I look on MRIs deep subcutaneous fat corresponds very closely to love handles so you can just reach back behind you and push in don't let necessarily pinch you've got to push that in down in your back the deepest part of your back and see how much tissue you've got back in there and that will give you an idea of how much visceral fat that you have in there you you really want none but the best thing is to do an MRI but um if you if you take a look uh and feel your your love handles that will let you know you you've got some work to do yes now Neil has a question what about what at-home methods can we use to gauge visceral fat I always recommend people uh check their waste to height ratio and that's the only at home method I know that's going to give you a rough marker of of your visceral fat anything else and what do you think about the ways to height ratio measurement yeah I think it's great another one besides the ways to height ratio is the saginal abdominal diameter so the sagittal abdominal diameter I'll just stand up as is basically uh from the point between my two fingers here so if you measure um the the diameter of your abdomen from your anterior your umbilicus your belly button to your back that gives you a pretty good idea of what your saginal abdominal diameter is and also that it's dynamic so you don't want it to be necessarily Dynamic but the more Dynamic it is the more visceral fat has impacted your health so for instance a 16 year old an 18 year old who's healthy who has not had much influence of visceral fat will have very little to no change in their sagittal abdominal diameter standing up to supine but a an adult that has had the influence of visceral fat inside of them maybe they don't even have visceral fat because they got rid of it but it's influenced them they'll have a dynamic change between the sagittal Diamond diameter when they're standing up and when they're laying down in proportion to how much inflammation and disease has affected them and what's happening is their anterior abdomen has been damaged by the influence of all these inflammatory markers from visceral fat that have leaked out cytokines and adipokines and and il-6 and tumor necrosive factor and so you literally can't hold your guts in anymore and that is the story of the dad bod weak muscles that cannot hold their own guts in anymore you could surgically remove all the visceral fat that they have inside of them and they still will have a protuberant abdomen and the 16 to 18 year old has not had that influence they'll have this nice flat abdomen so what we find happening in my client patients that I educate them on and give them strategies for eliminating visceral fat is their abdomens become flat like they formally have when they were teenagers so it's an exciting um observation when that achievement when it happens and it's it's really reflects the absence of visceral fat in your body beginning to heal those damaged tissues now this this is an example of what you're talking about being able to visualize the visceral fat yeah yeah so that top image shows a really healthy individual they got a nice flat oval shaped abdomen this might be what you would imagine a slice through your abdomen when you were about 16 or 18 this individual is a friend from the Army National Guard Gabe he's uh 28 in this Photograph and what you want to see is a lot of dark so the dark are the muscles uh and the enteric organs within the the abdomen and fat shows up on an MRI as white so you want a minimum amount of white you want mostly dark like Gabe and he's got a six pack and that little slit at the top of his uh abdomen there's his belly button where the air goes down so that kind of and he's got a nice thin layer subcutaneous fat and and subcutaneous fat is really good that's a good fats particularly superficial subcutaneous fat just like he has but the visceral fat is the white in the center of Gabe's stomach is just a little bit um that's very inflammatory and Associated or causal with numerous forms of chronic disease including the bad ones the big Killers after cardiovascular disease leading to heart attacks and strokes the bottom image is offered in comparison uh contrast to Gabe and that is an individual is filled his name is Asaf he's filled with visceral fat he's mostly almost entirely visceral fat inside of them and he also has a large robust amount of subcutaneous fat but unfortunately the dangerous kind of subcutaneous fat um the uh deep subcutaneous fat so and notice also asap's muscles are smaller so what we find is as you increase visceral fat it starts to accelerate sarcopenia and atrophy or loss of your muscles and not only that but it impairs muscular hypertrophy so what that means is as you accumulate visceral fat it makes it harder for you to put on muscle mass so if you're wondering uh if you're listening today and you're in the 40s or 50s or 60s and you think your days are long past and you can't put on muscle and you're having frustrations with that get rid of your visceral fat and you'll be able to put on a muscle again and increase hypertrophy that a lot of bodybuilders and just average men and women want to be able to put on muscle and lose fat get rid of that visceral fat yes and a great many people when they first start meat heavy keto ketovor carnivore they don't they they lose that initial water weight right but then they don't lose weight for a while sometimes a month or two but yet they notice that they're losing inches and I encourage everybody to buy a Taylor's tape when they start eating a proper human diet and take their measurements once a week if and you know maybe even more often than that and what they're like dude I've lost to 18 inches but I haven't lost a pound on the scale it's just tell us what what's going on with that body recomposition when people are alive it can't be water weight they're not losing water weight from around their their waist and their hips and their thighs what's going on with that yeah well after scanning 6 000 uh abdomens uh 6 000 people you know for the National Science Foundation what we found out is uh people um are both simultaneously losing uh dangerous fat while they're building uh healthy muscle and so this is the problem with people that just follow those uh a scale a bathroom scale and just tracking a number you don't really know what you're losing muscle water or fat dangerous fat or good fat so um the MRI allows you to see that and I remember a firefighter who's in his 30s was trying so hard he was overweight he was trying so hard to to get healthy he was following our protocols for the National Science Foundation but he didn't lose any weight and he came and got scanned and we showed him why he put on a huge amount of muscle yeah and lost all this visceral fat and he broke down started crying that full-grown firefighter because he was so relieved at being able to see that so be very careful about following numbers especially numbers on bathroom scales they're just not reliable to tell you what's going on so in this image here that we're looking at the the individual atop is a a an MRI on a on a client patient who's filled with visceral fat you can see very little Darkness again because he has small muscles on the sides of his abdomen called the oblique and his six pack on the top is are quite small and then the scan at the bottom to contrast it is um enormously healthy individual and he is almost entirely dark uh tissue because he's wall to wall muscle inside of him his visceral fat is the smallest little thing in midline it's just a teeny tiny bit and he's got enormous six pack his muscles literally are kissing them uh his six-pack there and then to the right of these two abdominal scans are the their respective of legs so this is important if you've never probably heard this before and I'm excited to share it with uh Dr Barry and his audience these are muscles through the thighs through the the lower extremity of these individuals the individual atop has a lot of visceral fat he has a lot of white streaks that you can see in his leg muscles that's called muscle fat and the technical term for it is myosteatosis but it's just fatty infiltration of the muscles or also just uh fat muscle replacement it's just muscle tissue being replaced by fat very inflammatory we see the muscles starting to shrink both in size and performance so if you're listening today and you're in the ages of 40 50s or 60s this is most likely happening to your legs and your muscles all over your body and you have no idea and if you if they would start to read this um they it comes it's completely ignored and by the conventional Health Care system we would warn people that you need a change of course in your life now compared to the legs below these muscles are like filet mignon this is like tenderloin this is an Olympic sprinter his legs are free of any of those fatty infiltrates and uh because we see Coral correlating to the amount of uh of visceral fat you have the amount of fatty infiltrates in your muscles both of these scans were read as normal by the Radiologists who read this but they they couldn't be further from the truth I mean these are not normal this this individual it might be common the image at top lots of people have visceral fat and may not be aware of it but it's not normal it's not healthy uh it should have been warned that you're you know you could have a heart attack anytime but the amount of visceral fat that you have inflammatory uh substance is likely accumulating and damaging your coronary arteries and your beautiful arteries all over your body all your tissues and organs are affected by visceral fat and the individual at the bottom should have been said um you know you have the healthiest abdomen I've ever seen please tell me how you live what you do so I can emulate you so um I like to educate people on the the importance of these biomarkers and and how they all relate to each other the the story of health is ubiquitous and consistent throughout the body it's not separated or isolated just to one particular tissue uh you might have cancer that goes to one particular tissue but when you're healthy you're healthy all over and when you have chronic disease you have chronic disease and these biomarkers are all are all over and visceral fat is the first expression of chronic disease that we found in our study for the National Science Foundation it's the very first thing that starts going wrong and you yet it's completely ignored by conventional health care so I'm super happy to be here today and educate you uh and your audience about this I love it and the Gown the bottom left has the largest psoas major muscles I have ever seen in my career but you you said something when the radiologist was interpreting these MRIs they're both read as normal and it's been probably four and a half years ago I made a video on this channel about fatty pancreas and uh I was doing research about it and I I read a couple of studies but then when I started looking at images I've actually found radiologist and he's like oh this is this person has a little fatty infiltration in the pancreas it's ubiquitous everybody has it we normally we don't even comment on it on the the radio radiology report and I was like that literally defines type 2 diabetes right yeah and severe inflammation and so I actually called a radiologist friend of mine and I'm like if you see fatty infiltration in the pancreas because everybody's heard of fatty liver at this point surely to God you're living under a rock if you haven't heard of fatty pancreas or fatty liver but many people and many doctors have never heard of fatty pancreas and I call my radiologist friend I'm like if you see that do you put that in the X you know the Radiology report and he's like no he said dude literally eight out of 10 adults who we do an abdominal skin on they're going to have fatty infiltration of the pancreas we typically don't comment on it because why would we because it's not really a marker for anything and I was like thanks for the information I was just checking I'm doing a YouTube video and so then he got interested and I hopefully now he's changed his practice and he does comment on fatty pancreas but so many doctors don't know that if you see fatty infiltration in the in the liver yes of course but in the pancreas that's a big damn deal if you see that marbling if you're you know if somebody's having thigh pain or or calf pain and you get a CAT scan or an MRI and you see that fatty infiltration in the muscle that is a huge red flag metabolic marker that this person is at high risk of some event happening in their near future if you don't counsel them on how to change that yeah fatty tone fatty heart fatty kidney these are all documented things that the average primary care doctor or emergency department doctor they've never heard of it and they have no idea that it's as important as it is Riff on that for us tell us tell us more about that yes so it's really um a very critical biomarker when you have a replacement of healthy organ tissue uh with fatty infiltration like pancreas but it's Downstream to visceral fat that starts in your childhood so I've scanned my kids and I saw them you know as young as four and five years old having visceral fat early on very very small amounts there's beautiful abdoms really teeny even less than the Olympic sprinter but that accumulates of a lifetime and then you see fatty liver you see fatty pancreas myosteatosis fat replacement in the muscle fat around the heart all of these problems are Downstream to them and they don't come in there but what do they opine about and harp you know patients on all the time is cholesterol and you know I like to ask the question do you can you name one human being that ever uh got control of their cholesterol and lowered it and said it completely changed my life it just doesn't happen right but if you're listening today and you get rid of your visceral fat you will have an entire new body and with it an entire new life because that means you'll eradicate also all of the Oregon fat all the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and what I think is happening and I've asked a pathologist friend of mine to try to help me out determine this is not only does fast start replacing muscle tissue in the skeletal muscle but what we we think is now happening is the same process fatty infiltration infiltration within the smooth muscle of our endocrine system so our glands our gastrointestinal tract and Our arteries our venules and capillaries so what we found happening with our our patients and clients and subjects in our study is as visceral fat is eliminated their arteries became visible so now you can see visible pulses if my camera was higher resolution I showed to you but all my pulses you can visualize just imagine being an intern right Ken and you're trying to do an ABG and you're trying to feel the Dagon arterial pulse and the radial artery you know or the brachial and uh but if you could see it you're like oh wow and we never really paid attention I don't think in conventional Healthcare to that the health of the Vasco or from a visible physical standpoint you know so that's what happens as we opened up um these these or got rid of visceral fat their arteries open up it became visible and uh uh it just changed people's lives their whole appearance their whole body their Contours um all the biomarkers that we're now tracking and paying attention uh all drastically change as you get rid of this visceral fat yeah and I think you brought up a great question any health care provider watching this and we have many you'd be shocked how many Health Care Providers are interested are hungry for this information now because they're seeing Oh this is something real how many of you guys have put somebody on the crest door or repatha and they come back at the three or six month follow-up and say doctor that that Crestor changed my life I'm I'm a new person now no one ever no one ever no one ever right and so you mentioned reversing coronary artery disease and other arterial plaquing and disease I I have seen numerous people when they adopt what I call a proper human diet which is basically eliminating all the grains eliminating all the sugars and eliminating all the vegetable seed oils eating if they eat any plants it's very low carb plants it's more as a garnish than it is as the main course eating lots of fatty red meat uh egg yolks plus or minus the white depending organ Meats what I've noticed is that they're CAC scans either don't get worse as years go by or they get better and this goes also for cimt this goes for CT angiograms of the heart uh I have several other physician friends who are doing the same thing you and I are doing and they're like oh yeah we see that all the time and I actually talked to Dr Agustin who helped develop the CAC scoring system and he said the average adult their CAC score is going to go up about 20 a year that's that's the average wow and so and so anybody who got a CAC 12 months ago adopted a proper human diet very very low carb uninflammatory lots of of fatty red meat and then repeat that CAC score in 12 months later if it didn't go up 20 percent you're winning yeah and and so what have you seen with within with regards to reversal of arterial disease by adopting a proper human diet and and obviously I know you're a big proponent of a proper human lifestyle as well what have you said yeah so what we would see is first of all we we use an MRI and we we evaluate our image uh the arterial system in the brain because it's uh there's no motion artifact unlike with a heart people often ask well why don't you do the arteries in the heart I'm worried about a heart attack well the heart has Dynamic motion so we can get very good resolution of those arteries in the brain without that motion artifact and the advantage of the MRI is it does doesn't just image uh the cold calcified lesions that a CAC uh study as good as that is does we can see those soft plaques uh as well so what we found as the the superior form of of uh intervention for open up those arteries is a meat-based diet so the more people have a a diet based on the consumption of good healthy meat the more the faster visceral fat went away and these arteries would open up now I was shocked how fast the arteries were opened up I I was of the opinion that these you know calcified these these you know atherosclerotic cardiovascular you've been in the operating room I'm sure when you're a resident scrape out doing those you know those uh endorectomies carotid enterectomies and uh that stuff is hard but they we saw these open up in months you know from just dietary and lifestyle changes so um very much like you it's meat based um and what also accelerates is optimization the microbiome so I'm a big proponent now of uh eating fermented foods uh and eating them uh as a garnish I liked how you you said that earlier and that's exactly exactly the term I use the the entree the main portion of the the the diet is is good healthy meat and then just a little bit of ferments and I recommend chewing them together and then I also recommend fasting and uh other lifestyle uh uh strategies to to help accelerate that and most of the of the other lifestyle strategies Sunshine uh sprinting maximum intensity exercise um and uh use of Asana that it has this benefit through uh production of increasing nitric oxide so nitric oxide is this wonderful molecule that I think we um in the uh and particularly the carnivore community and a meat a meat centered uh way of eating should pay more attention to nitric oxide because uh it really plays such an important role and this is this is interesting Ken you I call it my human dashboard because my clients have visible pulses they get them they can go out and they get corroboration instantly feedback sort of like you might look at your dashboard when you're driving they don't have to wait for the doctor they just go out in this sunshine and they see the magnitude of their pulse arteries really opening up instead just a little bit when they go out in the sunshine so it says very good and you go out in that Sunshine the sunshine is good it produces nitric oxide and it improves the cardiovascular or the perfusion of blood flow and the same thing when they go into a sauna their magnitude their pulses are small but after it's they've been in the sauna much more magnitude of those pulses and I'm not just talking about pulse rate heart rate I'm talking magnitude like blood flow you want more blood flow going to your tissues offloading to your precious organs and your cells so that they become as optimally healthy as possible the third one is sprinting so if you jog those visible pulses do not increase as much your heart rate might increase a little bit but your your amplitude your magnitude the amount of blood bullets going through those arteries is not as enhanced in jogging as much as when you sprint then you get these massive production of those those pulses and the fourth one I've I found out is fasting so fasting has this effect and increasing your nitric oxide and interesting you know uh I know you've interviewed Paul uh saladino and I was on Paul's show she'll pull Pock convince me to be a scientist he appealed to me and try out honey so I did it two times and when I did it each time my beautiful much appreciated you know uh highly valued uh visible pulses completely disappeared when I ate honey and so it's the through the inhibition that those carbo carbohydrates have on the production of nitric oxide so I I just am not a fan like you of uh carbohydrates I'm a fan of meat Sunshine sprinting the sauna and fasting and other stress hermetics you know brief intense kind of stressors uh to help optimize the human body absolutely I love that and so I'll tell you my earlier today I got up this morning had a cup of coffee went to the pasture I've got uh hairless sheep or hair sheep that I I have on the farm and I was putting up a new Paddock and it's 95 degrees here in Tennessee so I want you to tell me how many of your lifestyle hacks I was hitting this morning I didn't have breakfast so I was fasting It was 95 degrees I was wearing shorts and half just a ball cap and shoes and sweating like a horse it's so so humid in 95 degrees I was out there for four hours I didn't have to take any water with me and so for four hours I was in the sunshine uh sweating like a horse uh walking up and down Hills stringing out new electric fence to move my sheep to a new Paddock how many how many I didn't Sprint so I should have sprinted at least once I may go out and do that later today but but so it is being in the 95 degree heat is that is that equivalent for somebody who can't afford a gym membership or a Home sauna is that going to be just as good if I'm out in the 95 degree heat running up and down Hills well not as good as studies show the the uh the largest study ever done on uh on Sonya's by the way it's dry finished the converse rocks is at 175 degrees to produce these these miraculous little protein molecules called heat shock proteins but they are produced even in in smaller amounts uh with any exposure to heat so it's proportional and in the studies it was dose dependent so the longer you did it um the more benefit there was so if you did one to two days a week it reduced cardio the mortality rate from cardiovascular disease about 20 uh 20 to 21 percent but if you did it four to seven times a week it increased it uh up to 53 reduction in mortality and all cause mortality meaning the the death rate rate of death from all forms of disease and and incidents of death was reduced 45 across the board just from you know four to seven days of uh sauna use a week at about 15 for about 15 minutes and again it's at 175 degrees so um the more he now here's here's what I did when I deployed since I'm still active duty uh in the Army uh Army National Guard part-time and what we would do because I couldn't get to Asana was uh I figured out I got one of those uh 3.50 oven thermometers that go up to like 350 degrees and I got two or three of them to test the accuracy and I just went into vehicles and I rolled up the windows and I watched the temperature and don't do this by yourself but you know I went with a bunch of other buddies that also like to sign in like to you know beat biological uh uh tough guys and uh we just tracked those temperatures up to 200 degrees yep uh in a vehicle I call that uh doc I call that a redneck sauna I go out in the driveway and I get in my black Dodge truck with the windows up in the middle of the summer that's a redneck sauna yeah yeah you can get your exposure and you think about it our ancestors um you know they were very uh persistent about trying to find sources of heat and a lot of uh traditional people have some sort of practice you know wigwams and things like that uh of of being exposed to heat because it's it has been correlated our ancestors I think Were Far More in tune to picking up strategies that optimize them and the reason is it saved their lives they had this force of nature anthropologically we call call it selection pressure that caused them to not eat bad food and not sit around a campfire throwing down figs and dates you know chasing carbohydrates because they needed to be the healthiest as possible they'd go out and hunt and work hard because their survival depended on it and so did their quality of life and so that's missing today we don't have selection pressure there's no Force Upon Us acting in our lives that really motivates you and I to be really happy now you and I are because we're enlightened medical professionals in your audience is now enlightened following you they know the value of it but our ancestors they're literally their survival depended upon it so it really helped them make these kind of decisions like we gotta find a hot source of heat we've got to do this because it makes us better at hunting makes it makes us better in in their in our performance across everything that we have to do and so yeah Sana is a really important strategy that I get my clients to do and I recommend the dry finish over the infrared infrared is you know infrared Rays come from the Sun but nobody's talking about this but I'm happy to run it by you Ken the sun infrared rays are very short that energy we've been exposed to as species for a very very long period of time and it only penetrates the skin and maybe into the Sub-Q fat and just a little bit of the muscle but the infrared rays that are in an infrared sauna are much more deep and much more penetrating and so I'm concerned that we have not yet adapted ourselves to that level of energy that's going so deep so I just tell people I got this Ben which you know me I just want to be more natural and I said just get natural natural heat that's what you want and get your infrared from the most beautiful wonderful source that we could possibly get the sunshine and not some man-made Contraption a hundred percent agree the vast majority of the red light therapy units are just red LEDs anywhere in the vast majority of the red light therapy research was done with red red lasers and then first of all not the same thing at all yeah and so yeah I'm hugely disappointed with the red light therapy that a lot of people recommend now Rebecca's got a great question for somebody who's been sitting around for a few decades doctor kind of just hanging out right eating whatever doing whatever now you've got all this fatty infiltration in your liver your pancreas your muscles can you reverse that hopefully the answer is yes and if the answer is yes how would a complete newcomer who just found stumbled on this video sitting in the recliner right now eating a ding dong you're going to say okay Bubba here's you got it here's how you start literally start today before the before bedtime you're gonna start doing this yeah so it's super important that you um uh first eliminate processed foods that's the most important thing that I recommend doing the elimination or processed foods in your diet Rebecca will help you uh you gotta you gotta stop pouring gasoline on the fire so the process particularly carbohydrates and Seed oils and then food preserves they that are including go down and disrupt your microbiome is a Confluence a super storm of uh disease-causing elements that come into your body so that's the most important thing is really getting control of your diet and then secondly I recommend a practice of fasting and then as far as uh and I and I recommend slowly starting to fast and get more acclimated to it like our ancestors I I am I love Dr Tia dude is way smarter than me way more intelligent but I look at us from an ancestral ancestral perspective and we just would have been forced to fast because we couldn't always get that kind of kind of food and then I'm persuaded by the studies I see with autophagy you know particularly at the 72-hour point and the wonderful things that autophagy brings and I think it's a big part of why we're seeing visible pulses and these magnificent changes in performance and appearance and quality living our clients I think has a strong correlation to to fasting so autophagy in one study in 2021 was uh was measured in a particular in lysosome cells and it was found that if you follow the amount of autophagy through chaperone mediated autophagy activity and lysosomes those with the highest amounts never went on in stroked again in a stroke group state for people following stroke patients saying you know what happens Ken if you have a stroke you're going to have another one they just after scribe cardiovascular disease Builds on and it's the first stroke followed by subsequent stroke to maybe that one kills kills that person or not but it's just a repetitive disease but if you get autophagy then it reverses this disease process and and can stop that from happening again and those with the lowest amount of CMA activity in that particular study always stroked again so you really you really want to have fasting you want to you want to cut out processed foods um and you want to get sunshine and you want to do sprinting if you do those things if you're going to be fantastic those are really really great ways and the other thing I recommend always is optimizing your mycophant which was really chiefly my most important strategy is is your microbiome and it's a big complex we could you know Dr Perry and I could just show us for you know every day for a year on the microbiome alone but suffice to say get fall in love and learn small amounts of fermented foods and chew them together with meat so you're mixing those microbes in as you masculate as you chew putting beneficial food the microbes in with the food that you're chewing so when it gets delivered they're already set up for Success going into your microbiome and contributing positively to your microbiome I love it now Lisa's got a similar question but she asked the key question at the end uh at what age can we hope to reverse this so is there an age cut off is there an age where if someone comes to you and says hey be my doctor and you're like I'm sorry dude it's too damn late you it's it's over is is there an age and maybe you give us an example of a client you have or have had at an age that most people would think no they're done there's no way you can help that person now so I I will encourage you I had a client um uh age 84 and I said had a client unfortunately he died in the MVA a motor vehicle accent but this guy 84 years of age um was one of my longest clients and when he called me up he stuttered could barely find words and by the time he you know he had completely my hairs are standing up you can see it completely eliminated his visceral fat this guy had lower visceral fat than any 40 year old 50 year old six-year-old of all my clients this guy got that low he eliminated his visceral fat he would come over to my house we would Sprint together this guy was a completely turned around his speaking patterns so healthy so let that be an encouragement for you you absolutely can you cannot be you're it's never too old to start eliminating your visceral fat and getting the benefits from it because um until you do it's like a furnace that's blowing out dirty caustic smoke just causing inflammation throughout your body and you don't know your body doesn't know what health is until you get rid of it and the conventional system has kept it from you because it kept it from Dr Barry and I it's not taught in medical school and Radiologists don't read it nobody works to get rid of it and we're all in this gigantic distraction called cholesterol that we're chasing and makes money but you wait the minute big farmer figures out a pill to get rid of visceral fat then they'll be all about this new discovered you know important substance to work on but you can get started today by just find things that Dr Dr Berry promotes I follow Dr Barry I'm like I would love to get on his show because he and I most align of all the physicians in this particular space it's Dr Perry that I like the most so we know for a fact that if you are 84 years of age or younger this will work for you you yes documented evidence of that so beyond 84 maybe it'll work maybe it won't but Dr omara has a documented case of an 84 year old who had less visceral fat after just working this simple program eliminating processed foods carbohydrates inflammatory things seed oils eating lots of fatty red meat and sprinting I'm sure you're not opposed to vigorous exercise in the bedroom as well any kind of vigorous exercise to get your heart pumping get you breathing get you grabbing your knees as we used to say in basketball that and then do that out in the sun and it's literally that simple to reverse 90 percent of the visceral fat and the chronic disease and the chronic inflammation that you're currently suffering from it's indigest repeat do those things then repeat and and have some vitamin P which stands for patients and trust your body because I feel like Dr Omar all that the the default setting for the human body is vigorous Optimal Health and only if you're doing things that are what I call slow poisons are is your body not going to be at the just the default setting which is viral vigorous and potent as G Gordon lyddie used to say on his talk show that I listened to way a long time ago but that's the default setting that and so a lot of people like no my body's broken my metabolism is broken and I I have to you know break the news to them no it's not broken you're just you're doing that's but you're basically tripping your metabolism on a daily or a meal by meal basis you're tripping it up you're punching it in the face you're kicking it in the groin when you stop doing those things and start doing these few simple things that we're talking about in this video your body will immediately start to heal and that's I'm seeing lots of questions from the tribe like how long does it take am I too old is it too late no no no none of that stuff is true if you're if you're 84 or younger absolutely start today Yeah the more things you do the faster you eliminate visceral fat the faster you eliminate fatty streaks in your muscles in your organs in your in your arterial system so get started um the more things you you you do you get a synergistic benefit uh you'll have benefit just doing one thing and you know just stopping processed foods but if you do multiple things really start living a healthier life then they they come together and that's where we see the most dramatic elimination of visceral fat and then subsequent impact in lifestyle so I'm a big believer in uh using the MRI to track these changes and I I love that term vigorous because that's what I hear a lot in my followers online Who start following my recommendations to start incorporating sprinting it makes them feel vigorous again and you know ask yourself you know when was the last time I felt vigorous you know in many cases is it's probably takes you back to your teenage years or your 20s unless you know you are you know living more utterly eating more healthy and then doing vigorous uh inducing types of exercise so sprinting is the single most important form of exercise I think a human being can do it produces the most amount of myokines which are uh and another molecule called Lackey which are these messaging molecules that behave like hormones and they send signals to other tissues distant in your body apart from your your legs where they get produced in the large muscles when you sprint these these molecules go around and they tell your body to burn fat and to build muscle but it's what we saw Dr Berry is it burned the bad fat first and preferentially so it got rid of visceral fats and it got rid of deep subcutaneous fat and it was more preserving and sparing to superficial subcutaneous fat now jogging a more chronic kind of endurance exercise had the opposite effect it got rid of subcute superficial subcutaneous fat more than deep subcutaneous fats so we'd see all these distance Runners that had large amounts of visceral fats still preserved inside of them and you remember we couldn't get rid of it you remember we need the body if they just kept running but when we got it to stop running and start sprinting then it left their body do you remember which slide is the the distance Runner yes sent me which one is that yeah it's a uh one that is um uh it's just two two pictures two MRIs two Donald skins right next to each other um I might be able to find it on my uh my big screen here if I uh we'll see if I can find it here that's it that's it right there you pull it on okay okay so so tell us the difference here yes so the image on the left uh which is dated February 2017. you can see the white inside is this visceral fat in the center and this is the CEO of a company and the CEO uh as is getting a second MRI image and I'm disappointed because this visceral fat had not changed in the three months he was returning to get his visceral fat scan again and so I asked him are you cheating and eating carbs are you drinking alcohol um are you staying up at night and not sleeping or having insomnia for some reason or are you stressed out so those are the four big contributors to visceral fat um that we we ask right away and he said no to all of them he said everything's going good I'm sleeping good I'm not drinking and I'm not cheating I'm just eating what I'm supposed to eat and clean and then finally the last question I asked him was are you still running you were a runner before you stopped running right and you're sprinting out and he put his head down and emitted that no I'm still running and this is it's a hard thing to get distance Runners to stop these endorphins they get in the habit and I was wrong I was I ran 90 minutes a day every day you couldn't get me to stop running and uh it was very difficult thing to give up but we convinced them as we're going to kick you out of the study for the National Science Foundation no more free MRIs no more free medical exams for doctors you're out of the study if you don't stop running and start sprinting and so he did and look what happened to him in his image on his right the only change he did was he substituted sprinting for jogging he no he didn't jog anymore no more running and he lost almost all his visceral fat and then he grew muscles so the MRI tech came bargaining in my office saying Sean this guy's got jacked he's got enormous muscles and uh when he came back for me to meet with them I I actually had to put him up against the wall and make him I begged him to tell me the truth if he was using like steroids or something because it was such a dramatic change so um and this isn't too much time two months a two months period of time from stopping rain so my observation on this one I see it it happens several times is when you stop running and you start sprinting you get even better results then you simply start sprinting and never ran before so there's something about the body being recovered it's like a governor gets released when you stop the endurance exercise and you can you can lose uh lose visceral fat even faster and put on muscle more so if you're a jogger just give it a try really just listen to me you don't you can go back to running if you want but just cut out completely distance running and just incorporate sprinting for two months and see what happens just give it a try yeah please give it a try I love that I love that concept because you can always go back yeah eating junk food if what we're saying doesn't work it's not like you can't ever have it again yeah right Drive what we're saying for 90 days at the end of 90 days if nothing's better screw it go back to the junk food give up the jogging The Chronic cardio is as Mark Sisson calls it and Sprint for 90 days and then if it didn't work you can always go back to jogging if you think that's what you want to do I think that's fine uh Lynn let's see Lori's got a question about we talked about fasting earlier and I don't really do longer fast I do of anywhere from an 18 to 22 hour fast virtually every day I eat one meal a day or two meals a day that's just incorporated into my lifestyle every now and then I'll do a 48 hour if if the family situation is right what's your take on uh daily intermittent fasting longer fasting what do you believe about that all right so let me tell you an end of one okay it's an anecdotal experience um I'm going to choose confession I have a form of Asperger's okay I'm sort of like Bill Gates I'm high functioning but boy I can be really intense about things very intentional so I became aware of this one-legged you know balance test where you stand on one foot with your eyes closed it correlates to life expectancy and I did that every day for two years in my kitchen and I saw no improvement at all with my balance I mean I do it about 90 seconds but the quality how much I would move my leg never really moved a bit um you know in terms of quality it never really improved my leg would always I always wobble a little bit but no change in two years so I gave it up I was kind of ticked off of that biomark I was like well I'm not gonna do it anymore it's kind of tit so I left it alone for about four or five years and then I picked it up one more time no change still where it was you know five years earlier and I thought well you know I did it for a couple weeks maybe a month or so and I just gave it up and then um I I did something very different I started extended fasting and uh you know I'm not a super big fan of but I heard that guy uh Jack from uh Twitter Jack Dorsey he was fasting three days only three days I said that's a long time and I said well you know I I thought about I said yeah our ancestors probably did so I incorporated three days a week um I was doing that and I did that for um three years three days a week that's a big change for somebody who's doing intermittent fasting and uh I got into it and then um after three years of doing that I saw that again another article on that one-legged balance test and I thought well let me just let me try it again let me see where at stood like a tree stood like a tree that helped out Sean O'Mara's central nervous system my vestibular optic Network completely completely improved my balance within my inner ear from fasting and nothing else changed nothing else changed that's what I added in during those three years and I and I stood like a 12 year old kid you know if you if you tested your kids they'll be able to stand much still much much more still than you do as an adult and uh but fasting was the One Thing extended fasting in particular that allowed me to stand much more youthfully and and have just Superior balance it's really really interesting so that that's just one anecdotal experience but during that time I also got visible pulses so my blood flow improved so I think autophagy and gave me visible pulses and so I am a proponent of it I think uh I think it it has uh uh a a lot of benefit my sensory works better I know it's going to like hockey games I could watch my my son's hockey game and I could track the puck much better I could see what was going on I could determine I'm like this would be useful you know to be in this highly ketogenic state to go out and Hunt so I knew how to throw that spear work that bow and arrow and chase this particular animal or fight you know if I had to fight or defend myself so um it makes sense that nature would utilize ketogenic Pathways for higher performance um but it it took adaptation you know I you you know when you first walk away um you're you know away from carbohydrates and you're not yet adapted to to ketones and those ketogenic Pathways your performance degrades so you have a period of adaptation people call it keto flu so you know don't don't just give it a try once or once or twice you got to really give it a fair try like we talked about with sprinting and and we've talked about in the past like eating trying to cut out vegetables and give the carnivore diet a trial a good decent trial two to three months do in extended fasting for you know two to three months and get yourself adapted so you can you can experience those uh longer periods of fasting I think I think you'll have a lot of benefit I love it we got great questions coming in from the tribe what if for some medical reason previous injury you just can't Sprint what are some great alternative ways that you can get that all out 100 all in vigorous exercise yeah so first um Public Service announced a little advisor so we don't get ourselves in trouble if you're older and I mean like you're in your 40s 50s or 60s you are very much at risk of getting a muscle strain and in the past you if you were like a 50 year old 40 year old deer I don't know how long deer live you could Sprint on a time if a wolf came after you because you didn't have visceral fat you didn't have chronic disease accumulating but guess what you guys if you're listening have it and you cannot accelerate super fast so the injury happens when you accelerate so you must accelerate very very very very very very very very very slowly otherwise you're going to pull a muscle and you'll be super mad at Dr Sean and you'll even be mad at Dr Perry for having Dr Sean on talking about sprinting so just very very warm up and then slowly accelerate and if you cannot Sprint because you have injuries to your knee or you're just not able to for a variety of different reasons then you can emulate it's not a complete substitute you could emulate perhaps for any on a stationary bike we have against resistance and you accelerate a lot of studies that look at the benefit of maximum intensity exercise um use a stationary bike to simulate sprinting and get these fantastic results it's interesting if you've been following the studies uh Dr Barry that the the shorter we look at the period and and the higher the intensity the more benefit we see is actually it's it's really challenging um longer you know periods of uh less intensity exercise and you get equal if not better results in a much shorter period of time so the other form is sprinting in a pool you can Sprint swim or you can Sprint um standing up in a pool against water resistance some people can't Sprint on ground can Sprint in a pool against water just kind of Sprint and get that kind of resistance so there's other forms of exercise that emulate but they're not there's no true substitute for sprinting nothing completely substitute nothing will get you more short of breath nothing will produce more myokines and a higher lactate quantity in a shorter period of time your body than sprinting in just seconds it's amazing what about full out on a rowing machine is is that going to get you close yeah that's another one and I do I do that I you know um I've done a lot of rowing machine exercises uh it's still not quite the same you don't get quite as much of a uh expenditure and use uh particularly of your lower extremities for your larger muscle bodies are that that uh you know that get engaged when you sprinting and by the way use all your muscles uh appropriately in uh in in sprinting if you look at sprinters they have beautiful arms and chests and shoulders uh and they and they increase them as they spread now just the opposite with distance Runners marathoners and ultra distance Runners the longer they do that distance running they get more atrophy of their their muscle tissues and that leads and contributes to this terrible Scourge that I hope you talk about in your audience too sarcopenia literally our muscles are wasting away as we age and feeding that is visceral fat and also a lack of like Dr what Dr Berry said vigorous activity you want that vigorous maximally testing kind of exercise the two things I tell my clients to kept humans in the gene pool at the longest and improve their quality life was how fast you could Sprint and how well you could fight now we can't encourage people to go out and get bar fights and and the things I used to do that when I was a cop I had you know had to do it for vocationally but it nothing will you know nothing taxes you more than sprinting and and really fighting so you kind of have to emulate a fight with uh resistance training uh push-ups pull-ups to exhaustion body weight exercises you know you can you can just get creative with it you don't necessarily have to have really expensive um you know to get started expensive set of of weights and and and and gym equipment I have one client was kind of wealthy went in he bought a whole gym this guy was well you know he went he bought a whole gym it was going out of business drove like five states and got a truck yeah kind of resources but you get started doing push-ups and pull-ups and you know burpees and resistance training to exercise are another great ways of uh of uh of uh getting vigorous activity and also reducing stress so you need when you have this vigorous activity that antelope you know that's in Africa that's being you know stressed out by all the lions and tigers you know Milling around their cortisol levels are going up because they're stressed out and waiting for this line the tiger to attack the minute that lion and tiger attacks and chases it um and it gets away and soon it doesn't get get getting eaten caught then it's reduced it's cortisol because of the chase it's part of nature you know we're meant to have these vigorous intense episodes of exercise so if you get stressed out you're at work you get a bad email you get a bad text you get a bad report you have a bad conversation with your boss or a client drop and do maximum push-ups till you can fail and beat back that cortisol do not permit it to stay in there you know you are a vigorous vital human being optimized Do not sit on that stress take care of your most important physical asset you'll ever own it's your body and you've got to beat back that stress stress is a real killer that is a brilliant strategy I'm going to immediately steal that from you I'm a I'm a big fan of stoicism and basically deciding how a stressful situation is going to affect you because if you decide to not be stressed out by it then it literally the house could be on fire and your cortisol could be rock bottom and your pulse be 60 if you just decide okay I've got insurance it's fine I'm not even going to stress about this but that's a brilliant strategy if you get that phone call or that email or your spouse is just showing their ass don't argue don't don't do that just go in the bedroom and do as many push-ups as you can do as many fast high jumping jacks as you can do or go out run around the house five times as fast as you can first of all it'll freak your spouse completely out yeah but secondly you're basically you're sinking that cortisol you're because that's what it's for is either freeze flat or fried or fight that's what it's for and so use it for that your body just got all stressed out because your boss just gave you a demotion if you if you sit and stew on that it's going to have negative effects yeah go ahead and run down the road and back as fast as you possibly can you actually put it through its evolutionary use yeah wait and see it really you're listening and you do this it's going to change your life when it comes to stress you know you can't uh you can be stoic at you know some situations you know and try to mentate but when a lion tiger is after to kill you yeah there are just some circumstances you just can't control your boss what's happening or report you know going on something going on in the company and you got to respond you know we used to be able to migrate away from lions and tigers sometimes we we you could do it sometimes you can't you just got to stay put the camp has got to be there so then you've got to have stress mitigation uh steps to uh to respond to stress and it's through that physical kind of Confrontation stress or medic you know a little bit of the hair of the dog that bits you you know so uh get get a Sprint and get those push-ups in and watch how much better you feel as a result I see a lot of stressed out Executives come work with me and they want to perform better and stress is a killer it causes a lot of visceral fat they can be even eating a healthy diet and that that question I ask about that CEO is very appropriate there's a lot of stress that people running large organizations and just even if you're not running an organization you can have life stressor and you don't know how bad it is but that that scan I like to say the MRI don't let you lie it lets you it shows you what's going on so we do very intense analysis of our clients to figure out where this visceral fat is coming from and that includes not only processed foods and diet but stress poor sleep alcohol and uh um and then you know during this exercise the ones that we take a look at and try to eliminate so yeah I'm glad you're turned on to the to the sprinting and push-ups and pull-ups to mitigate stress because you know stress kills people absolutely I'm gonna do that the next time Nation pisses me off I'm just gonna take off running and she's gonna be like what just happened here so guzzy's got a question and and guzzy just said the answer is going to depend on where you're at now it's going to depend on many variables but so how many Sprints and how often so maybe let's just talk about three different groups somebody who's been completely sedentary what would you recommend for that person to start sprinting and with when I use air quotes I mean any of the vigorous get out of breath exercises and then how many days a week would you recommend somebody uh who's who's just starting who's been you know doing a few push-ups and doing a little jogging and then somebody who's been very active yeah so you're right it it's very different from people for their different situations but um one of the things about uh sprinting if you look at from an ancestral standpoint is uh nature uh favors variety so nature would sometimes have a allow us to a short Sprint we could get away from whatever was threat was attacking us it was just a very short quick brief Sprint or sometimes we'd have to run uh Sprint a lot longer so I get my clients mixing it up trying to do shorts and short Sprints and look some longer Sprints so typically you know it might be as short as three seconds but usually in my sweet spot for a client is around six to ten seconds and uh and about the longest I'll ever really recommend the doing is maybe about 30 seconds because really past 10 12 seconds you've gone through your glycogen if it's if it's really uh you know 100 Max effort so you don't get much you're not getting too much more benefit it's interesting that if you look at a hundred meter Sprinter and a 200 meter Sprinter the 100 meter Sprinter bigger muscles in your body so that 200 meter just that additional 100 meters has degraded their body Corpus their their habitus just that much you can see it Google Championship 200 meter sprinters Champion 100 meter sprinters you'll see visibly why you want to have a brief intense maximum form of exercise and sprinting is the best and then if you're not experienced so it starts slow very very slow accelerate and just do a few don't do a lot and if you're much more accomplished you can do some more but the idea I tell my clients is decision to pursue health is a journey it's not a life switch you you slowly work that process and you slowly adopt these kind of strategies and not going to and there's something about sprinting that people just launch right into it they want to do it right away and just be slow and and purposeful in it and careful so you don't get an injury why don't you want an injury because in four days it would kill us I mean we get so like we'd get eliminated from the gene pool with an injury and as you get older and you have more visceral fat that recovery is a lot slower it's a lot more taxing so just be very careful you want to ease into the the sprinting part and the maximum intensity exercise part and even fasting the kind of hermetic process it's not a race to to add these things in um it's it's it's a process to incorporate them in and have your race with commitment to cut out bad things cut out the bad food race to cut out stress you know race to cut out alcohol you know race to cut out poor insomnia and poor Lifestyles staying up late watching television uh gambling or doing online gaming or you know nonsense um you know that's where you want to Sprint get those those bad things out and then incorporate these these hormetic practices you know that that are briefed slowly into your life so you can maximally benefit it while reducing your risk of injury absolutely now I know you're a big proponent of the MRI and I I totally understand why but a lot of people you know are somewhat limited means are there any tips and tricks that you found that you can reduce the cost of an MRI for somebody who's just wanting to get this done so they can see their picture how what's a good way to get that possible no that's so unusual and from a clinician an astute clinician like Dr Barry he's picked up some business skills so here's what you should say because I have clients all over the world and that's right Talent you pick up the phone you call it Diagnostic Center and say what is your cheapest cost on an MRI I want to pay cash I'm not going to pay insurance if you're thinking insurance companies are going to pay for this if the patient wanted to be dishonest with the doctor maybe you could get your insurance to pay for it but most of the people in My Tribe are not going to play that reindeer again and so you just call an Imaging Center and any mid-sized a large city they're going to have a a diagnostic imaging center you call them and say hey I'm paying cash right up front there's no insurance here yeah what's the and so they they want to ask for an abdominal or do they want Domino non-contrast MRI so you don't need contrast you don't want contrast and I'll tell you up front you're going to need an a ND a physician to order this MRI you won't be able to do this by yourself foreign countries you might be able to if you're watching uh Dr Berry outside the United States but you'll need to the cooperation of your primary and tell him or her hey I'm really into my body I want to get as healthy as possible I read about visceral fat I hope you read about it too um you can tell me know that you're not going to order this if you tell me more about visceral fat then I can tell you about visceral fat so get read about visceral fat first and uh co-opt them to uh to help you out tell them you'll pay cash so there's no legitimate reason I could think of a physician to say no if a patient wants to do this and they're paying cash they don't have to have a justification to insurance company because it's not going through insurance and uh and the second thing you want to tell that MRI imaging center besides you're paying cash is don't try to make up make your profit up in one scan because I'm gonna be a repeat customer for whoever gives me the lowest quote okay so say that and then they'll give you a lower quote because you why you're going to want to see that when you do these things that Dr Barry and and I've been talking about that you're eliminating visceral fat and your muscles are getting bigger and they're losing that this fat and your organ fat is going to weigh in your fat around your heart and uh you'll see that in an MRI when you repeat it so yeah go for a reason and I would I would recommend talking to the uh ask for the office manager yeah the business manager don't just talk to the receptionist she's not going to be able to make that decision I need to speak to the office manager please and tell them look I'm going to be repeating my MRI every three months every six months once a year I'm looking for the cheapest place I can get a cash money MRI of the abdomen non-contrast and so everybody remember there's no radiation involved with an MR right so there's no danger there and you're getting no contract so the gadolinium is not an issue you're just getting the MRI and I think an office manager will be like so you're telling me you're going to come every six months for an MRI whole place and she's going to go talk to the radiologist and say I got this Kook who's going to get an MRI of the abdomen non-contrast every six months the cheapest place is going to get his business the they're like oh knock 200 bucks off the knob whatever let's get that guy in the door because you know he's got some crazy friends too that's such great advice I love that now one more newbie question uh llama does says does sprinting improve cardiovascular health I can answer this in one word what about you Dr tomorrow oh yeah absolutely it does absolutely yeah yeah it's a vital capacity you know the max amount of air that you could breathe in a single breath combined with the maximum there you can blow out in single breath is best increased through sprinting you moved those Bellows of your lungs massively and you create that physiological demand to increase that so it absolutely improves your cardiovascular health better than any other form of exercise and that's what's going to most increase your light longevity your quality of your life so sprinting is again cardiovascular standpoint Point knocks it out of the ballpoint I don't see anybody getting visible pulses that haven't adopted sprinting you got to have that kind of visible uh invigorous uh what of exercise maximum exercise
