132: Visceral vs. Subcutaneous Fat

132: Visceral vs. Subcutaneous Fat

In this episode of the Health Upgrade podcast, we dive deep into the misunderstood world of body fat, breaking down the key differences between subcutaneous and visceral fat. We discuss why “fat isn’t just fat,” clarifying how where fat is stored in the body can dramatically influence your health, from increasing the risks of chronic diseases to affecting mood, cognition, and even longevity.

We share practical insights into why some people are more prone to storing fat around their organs, highlight the dangers of visceral fat (including fatty liver and myosteatosis), and reveal how stress, diet, muscle use, and even sleep can shift your body’s fat storage patterns. Strategies like intermittent fasting, strength training, and vagus nerve stimulation are discussed to help listeners take charge of their metabolic health and reduce harmful visceral fat.

If you’ve ever wondered why some fats are worse for your health, or want clear, actionable steps to upgrade your wellbeing, this episode is packed with myth-busting info and real-world advice. Share this episode with friends or family who could benefit, and let’s work together to optimize our health from the inside out!
