Why Fasting May Be the Answer to Getting Rid of Stubborn Visceral Fat | @The Primal Podcast Clip
Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, MDSummary
Interventional cardiologist emphasizes the dangers of visceral fat, linking it to various health issues, including coronary artery disease and metabolic disorders. He explains that visceral fat, which accumulates around internal organs, is inflammatory and poses significant health risks. The doctor notes that patients with high levels of visceral fat often exhibit severe coronary artery disease and other complications, prompting him to incorporate DEXA scans in his practice to measure this fat.
Fasting emerges as a primary method for reducing visceral fat, as it not only helps burn fat but also lowers inflammation. The cardiologist argues that frequent eating leads to elevated insulin levels, which contribute to the accumulation of visceral fat and various metabolic diseases. He highlights the importance of reducing insulin resistance by adopting a fasting regimen, as it allows the body to reset and manage insulin levels more effectively. The discussion also touches on the broader implications of high insulin levels, including their role in promoting atherosclerosis and potentially leading to cancer.

In this clip from my conversation on The Primal Podcast, I explain why visceral fat is one of the most dangerous types of fat for heart health. I’ll break down what actually causes visceral fat to build up, how it connects to inflammation and metabolic disease, and why fasting can be such a powerful tool for helping the body get rid of it.Uploaded 14-06-26Watch the full conversation here https://youtu.be/y5WeiL_fsMQMake sure to give it a like and subscribe to The Primal Podcast's channel!

When I talk about dinner, I’m talking about a true feast, especially when you’re breaking a fast. This is the one meal of the day where you have the chance to fuel your body and brain with real, nutrient-dense foods. Too many people turn to processed products that wreck metabolism, disturb sleep, and leave you hungry again. I want to show you why dinner matters most, how to eat for your microbiome, and how the right feast can help you thrive, not just survive.Remember that my videos are not a substitute for individualized medical care by a qualified physician.

Start your day off right by eating foods that help promote healthy gut bacteria and that don't spike your insulin levels. Also remember, that if you're on a fasting program, you can skip the breakfast. Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day. And if you're not hungry, my advice to most people is skip the breakfast.Uploaded 03-12-21This is the first of a 3 part series on grocery shopping this holiday season.Part 2 is now live!https://youtu.be/gVsxe9v72C0Subscribe to the Channel to get notified when the next two videos get released!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOtQHehGWtblMp1gZC8Kq3Q?sub_confirmation=1In my previous lectures I discuss in more detail the topic of diet and fasting:"Fasting for Survival" - https://youtu.be/RuOvn4UqznU"The Fat Lies" - https://youtu.be/Yo-IL-LH5FQ"The Bittersweet Truth" - https://youtu.be/6zZBiTfIp4QMy other Videos:What is a Kraft Test? - https://youtu.be/SxS2AayOHmoWhy your Cardiac Examination is Incomplete- https://youtu.be/Rzb5r8FXpRUTreat High Blood Pressure's Root Cause - https://youtu.be/yaf1swrS1_cWhat is a Coronary Calcium Score? - https://youtu.be/NYkW2vxyiocWhat is a CT Angiogram (CTA) of the Heart? - https://youtu.be/uHpN1FQ-HvoWhat is Cardioversion? - https://youtu.be/yb-srtyEOuYWhat is a Leadless Pacemaker? - https://youtu.be/2CYZbeYSvVEWhat is Right Heart Catheterization? - https://youtu.be/2hy05-dM-lMWhat is a Heart Attack? - https://youtu.be/lPzT62_b4KoHeart Attack Treatment - https://youtu.be/N0vFV3wOGPUWhat is an Echocardiogram? - https://youtu.be/DZ3G8P0L_sMMonitoring Heart Failure with CardioMEMS - https://youtu.be/A35IsJxs6mwIntroduction to Cardiac Catheterizations - https://youtu.be/k4UyUBGnojUWhat is a Loop Recorder? - https://youtu.be/mXHAuV27bs8External Counterpulsation (ECP) for Chest Pain and Coronary Calcium - https://youtu.be/4wd-3WyvlNQSign up for my Heart Health emailshttps://orlandocvi.com/heart-health-updates-yt/Chapters:0:00 Introduction1:08 Do I need to eat breakfast?2:31 Soda for breakfast2:10 Coffee and tea 2:36 Milk3:20 processed cereals and carbohydrates4:50 Feeling hungry after eating high carb meal 5:46 The importance of fiber 7:46 Bad bacteria in your gut7:58 Eggs and cheese 8:50 Fruit, fruit juices, and whole foods10:56 Yogurt, blueberries and your gut bacteria12:58 Grapes and excessive fructose15:08 OutroSocial Links:https://www.facebook.com/orlandocvihttps://www.instagram.com/pradipjamnadasmd/https://www.facebook.com/pradipjamnadasmd/About Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, MD, MBBS, FACC, FSCAI, FCCP, FACPThe founder and Chief Medical Officer of Cardiovascular Interventions, P.A. in Orlando Florida where, since 1990, he has been repeatedly recognized in local publications as a Top Doctor performing thousands of interventional procedures in hospital and out patient settings.
