In this episode of Decoding Health, Dr. Urban A. Kiernan dives into the concept of ectopic fat—fat that accumulates in places it doesn’t belong, like muscle tissue, the liver, and even immune cells. He explains how this misplaced fat impairs metabolic function and weakens the immune system, particularly T killer cells, which are responsible for fighting cancer. Research has shown that obesity and insulin resistance create the perfect storm for cancer development by rendering immune cells ineffective. Dr. Kiernan also highlights the critical role of lean muscle mass in maintaining metabolic health, emphasizing that resistance training—not just cardio—is now being incorporated into cancer treatment protocols to improve outcomes. Tune in to learn how building and maintaining muscle can help combat metabolic dysfunction and support immune function in the fight against disease.

In this episode, we explore the risks and scientific concerns surrounding GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as Wegovy and Zepbound, which are reshaping the weight loss and diabetes treatment markets. While these drugs show significant weight loss benefits, research reveals a troubling rebound effect when patients discontinue use, often leading to greater weight regain due to fat cell hyperplasia. Unlike the common yo-yo dieting effect, these medications can increase the number of fat cells in the body, making future weight management more challenging. Dr. Kiernan warns that without lasting lifestyle changes, users may face intensified fat accumulation, particularly in harmful visceral areas, exacerbating health risks.
