Part 79 - Dr. Sean O’Mara MD, JD on Measuring True Health, Visceral Fat, and Are All Calories Created Equal?

Hey everyone out there in quarantine land, how’s everyone doing? Hopefully you’re holding strong and eating nutrient dense Sapien foods instead of ordering takeout. And going for walks in the sun and doing workouts in your living room. This is exactly what I’ve been doing and have been feeling better than ever. I talked to Dr. Sean O'mara about so many interesting things during this interview we decided to cut it off and do another in the near future. We ended up not doing this immediately so please reach out to me on social media and let me know what questions or other topics you’d like us to address when we do our follow-up episode.  His work with measuring visceral fat with MRI is so important. This is such a huge thing that people are missing, even in the health community. It’s a relatively new concept and technology and is pretty costly, so it makes sense. But this is one of the huge ways to not only prove a calorie is not a calorie, but also really see someone’s true health status. I won’t go on because there’s too many interesting things to bring up - better to just listen to the episode. Dr. Sean is very in tune with everything I’ve learned over the past 5 years and I hope to work with him in the future and get him into the Sapien organization.
