“Visceral fat is body fat that is stored in the abdominal cavity near the liver, pancreas, and intestines. The accumulation of visceral fat is linked to type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, inflammatory diseases, certain types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other obesity-related conditions.”

“Greater conversion can lower testosterone while strengthening estradiol's signal to the brain and pituitary to reduce testosterone production. Inflammation and insulin resistance associated with excess body fat can further interfere with testosterone regulation.”

“Sugar-sweetened beverages are the largest source of added sugar in the American diet. The over consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is linked to insulin resistance and to multiple diseases including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and gout.”

“Other research supports his observations, demonstrating that chronic rapamycin use can impair lipid profiles, induce insulin resistance, and contribute to glucose intolerance and pancreatic beta-cell toxicity.”

“In twin pairs where one twin was heavier than the other, the heavier twin's epigenetic age was approximately 5 months older than the lighter twin. They also found that age acceleration was associated with insulin resistance, a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.”

“This leaves meaningful room for prevention even after atherosclerosis has already developed. In this clip, Dr. Peter Attia and I discuss how cholesterol-carrying particles, blood pressure, smoking, and insulin resistance contribute to heart disease risk.”

“There are many health benefits attributed to intermittent fasting with the American Heart Association claiming that intermittent fasting may produce weight loss, reduce insulin resistance, and lower the risk for cardiometabolic diseases; however, the mechanisms that drive these benefits in humans are unclear.”

“By contrast, sugar-sweetened beverages, which were strongly linked to a higher risk of death, can lead to fat buildup in the liver, promoting insulin resistance and increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.”

“Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar and insulin resistance. Long-term complications from poorly controlled type 2 diabetes include heart disease, stroke, diabetic retinopathy (and subsequent blindness), kidney failure, and diminished peripheral blood flow, which may lead to amputations.”

“Consuming alcohol after exercise worsens the damaging effects of muscle-damaging exercise and impairs the recovery of muscle damage. Combining alcohol with protein after combined aerobic and resistance exercise reduces muscle protein synthesis compared to protein alone by 24%.”
