“A person at a normal body weight can still have increased visceral fat, liver fat, low muscle mass, insulin resistance, abnormal lipids, hypertension, or diabetes. Excess visceral fat is metabolically active.”

“The triglyceride-to-HDL cholesterol ratio combines two routine lipid values and can serve as a practical signal of insulin resistance and atherogenic dyslipidemia. Prospective studies have associated a higher ratio with coronary and cardiovascular mortality in men and with all-cause mortality in women evaluated for ischemia.”

“In people with insulin resistance, brief intense walking intervals before meals improved 24-hour glucose control more than one continuous session. For people with excess body fat, sustainable weight loss is the next major lever.”

“Studies using CT imaging associate higher visceral fat with insulin resistance and increased risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality. Visceral fat can respond to changes in energy balance and physical activity.”

“The small male sample and short experimental period limit broader conclusions. A separate study in 11 healthy men found that prior HIIT attenuated increases in glucose, insulin, and free fatty acids after 24 hours without sleep.”

“Carotenoids are antioxidants that specialize in photoprotection. "High serum carotenoid levels are...associated with a lower risk of obesity, insulin resistance, inflammation, cognitive dysfunction, and premature death from any cause.".”

“Read sample coverage of this topic from our premium member newsletter. Allulose reduces the blood sugar spikes caused by sugar. Regular consumption of high glycemic foods (e.g., soda, candy, pastries) may lead to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.”

“01:00:59 - The subtypes of Alzheimer’s disease Dr. Bredesen encounters most frequently and why insulin resistance can still be crucial, even if it’s not as obvious peripherally. 01:03:09 - How to find out your ERMI score, which is an index created by the EPA to assess relative safety based on mold concentration in your home.”

“Visceral fat is stored deep in the abdomen around internal organs and is closely associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers.”

“To look for functional mitochondrial effects, Dr. Attia uses controlled Zone 2 work while sampling lactate, with output near 2 mmol/L. He says statins have not produced the clear lactate-performance changes he sees with metformin.”
