Could tackling visceral fat be the key to finally reversing the chronic disease crisis?

Unlike the fat you see on your waistline, visceral fat hides deep inside your body, wrapping around organs like your liver, pancreas, and even your heart. And far from being inert, this fat acts like an inflammatory organ, fueling disease, undermining your immune system, and raising the risk of diabetes, cancer, and heart attacks.

In this interview, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Dr. Sean O’Mara, a physician with an extraordinary background (from undercover narcotics agent to Army ER doctor) who has spent over a decade studying visceral fat.

Dr. O’Mara explains:

🐍 Why visceral fat is the true “head of the snake” driving chronic disease

💪 The surprising lifestyle interventions that can shrink it (fast).

⚠️Why visceral fat may be the single most dangerous and overlooked threat to your health
