Yet, millions of people worldwide struggle with their weight,  It is crucial to understand that belly fat is more than just a layer under your clothes. It is an active endocrine organ that secretes pro-inflammatory cytokines throughout the body, contributing to our risk for chronic diseases. It's important to recognize that this is not a reflection of personal failure. Our modern-day lifestyles are overloaded with stress, environmental toxins, and convenience foods that actively work against us. In today’s episode, we will explore visceral fat (a.k.a. belly fat), the factors that contribute to it, and how to address it using the principles of Functional Medicine effectively. In this episode, I dive into: Understanding belly fat and obesity (2:51)  The role of diet and lifestyle in the accumulation of belly fat (10:48)  The impact of sleep, alcohol, and stress on weight gain (19:14)  What are obesogens, and how do they make us gain weight? (21:44) Health risks associated with visceral fat and belly fat (23:05)  Where does conventional medicine miss the mark? (24:14) Functional medicine's approach to assessing and addressing visceral fat (26:38)  Dietary and lifestyle changes to reduce visceral fat (30:52)  Rupa University is hosting FREE classes and bootcamps for healthcare providers who want to learn more about Functional Medicine testing.

Everywhere you turn, there’s sugar—from blended coffees to protein bars, drinks, dressings, snacks, and everything in between. Even seemingly “healthy” packaged foods often contain heaps of added sugar, and its impact has proven catastrophic for our mental and metabolic health. As the other white powder, sugar hijacks our brain chemistry, making us addicted, inflamed, sick, and depressed. But the good news is that most of the health issues that arise from eating too much sugar can be completely reversed in as little as 14 days. In today’s Health Bites episode, we’re exploring the research connecting sugar addiction to poor mental health and what you can do to clean up the excess sugar to reclaim your health and feel better, and more energized. In this episode, I discuss: The prevalence of sugar in our diet and its impact on mental health (2:00) Hidden sources of sugar in our diets (7:27) How sugar affects our mood and brain function (11:42) How insulin resistance leads to systemic inflammation and changes in mood (16:16) Strategies to reduce sugar intake for better mental health (20:41) The role of supplements, exercise, stress, and sleep in blood sugar management (26:40) This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Fatty 15.

Eating for health is one thing, but eating to beat disease is an even more intentional step toward prevention and longevity.

View the Show Notes From This Episode Get Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hyman Sign Up for Dr. Hyman’s Weekly Longevity Journal Food has become a more complex part of our lives than ever before. Much of what we think is food is actually many ingredients disguised as food, with entirely different, often negative impacts on the human body. Sadly, this is a greater problem here in the US than in other parts of the world, thanks to the food industry, corrupt intentions, and broken policies. Today, I talk about all this and more with my guest Jason Karp, whose personal experience of nearly going blind due to a toxic lifestyle led him to discover a different way; he made it his mission to get “back to human.” In this episode, we discuss: Jason’s personal health journey and why that has prompted him to take on the campaign against Kellogg’s (7:53) The unhealthy state of America’s food industry (22:42) How Kellogg’s has one cereal formulation for Canada and another for the US that is full of chemicals (26:07) The correlation between food dyes and ADHD, and the failure of Kellogg's pledge (29:04) The political aspect of food regulation and dangers of unregulated food additives (32:55) Why we are in a state of metacrisis and what that means for our future (37:18) The bidirectional relationship between food and mental health (46:04) The financial burden of healthcare on the US government due to unhealthy diets (53:52) Supporting the Kellogg's Initiative: Sign the Petition (1:06:03) We have a lot to do to shift our food system and eliminate harmful ingredients in the US, but there are ways to enact positive change starting today. We can all support a cleaner food industry and better health by voting with our dollar, purchasing real food, and getting involved in policy policy changes.
