Why Visceral Fat Is More Dangerous Than You Think - Dr. Sean O’Mara 

saw Dr Sean 2 months ago, my changes so far are staggering. He knows what he's talking about

Hey, I'm Jonathan Griffiths, a 28-year-old with a BSc in Human Nutrition from Bournemouth, Dorset. My journey as an amateur bodybuilder has been unique due to a fused spine from a rugby injury at 14 and my autism. Despite these hurdles, I've found incredible success on the carnivore diet over the past four years, after other pain relief methods failed. I have since competed twice as a carnivore bodybuilder, with my recent showing on June 2nd 2024 where I placed first against an extremely competitive line-up. I am going to the British finals to try and earn my pro card. Meanwhile, I have had my spine fused in 2022, and various procedures to try and reduce the pain I am in. The carnivore diet is my only option to try and thrive, and I love it! My diet mainly includes beef, salmon, chicken, eggs, cheese, milk, and butter. I avoid fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, seeds, oils, and sugars. I drink water, coffee, and bone broth. No calorie counting here, just focusing on around 300 grams of protein and fat each day for the past 4.5 years. In the beginning, I lost 5 pounds and felt a surge in energy, focus, and calmness. I woke up refreshed, with no cravings or GI issues. My workouts stayed strong, with better muscle pumps, vascularity, and faster recovery. The diet eased the pain and stiffness in my spine, giving me more freedom and comfort. It reduced my need for medications and improved my autism-related symptoms, like anxiety and mood swings. My social skills and communication also got better. Blood tests before and after the diet showed my liver and kidney damage from a virus had healed. My cholesterol was stable, blood pressure improved, and blood sugar levels stayed low. My liver and kidney functions were normal, with no nutrient deficiencies or hormonal issues. This diet has been eye-opening, challenging many common dietary beliefs. I've learned that meat is highly nutritious and satisfying, and plants aren't essential or particularly beneficial for me. This is especially relevant given the genetic and metabolic traits seen in people with autism. I've stuck to the carnivore diet, with occasional treats like 'Hot Pot' and Korean BBQ, which I can cook myself at restaurants. On my RU-vid channel 'Carnivore Muscle,' I share my carnivore lifestyle, training tips, nutritional advice, and recipes, building a community of fellow carnivores and inspiring others to try this way of life. I fully recommend the carnivore diet to anyone looking to improve their health, fitness, and well-being, especially fellow bodybuilders and those with spinal conditions or autism. In my view, it's the best way to enhance both body and mind. 💪🥩🚀

Mike Mutzel and Sean Omara as guests is definitely a great direction for the podcast.

I have been following r O Mara for a while. I also have been sprinting to reduce visceral fat and optimize performance. It works!

That Theo Von joke calling Joe a Turkey coming full circle 😂

NSima losing it over the accent 😂😂😂 Good episode again 🫳

Dude wanted a kid at 60 years old, is he nuts?!!

Joe is on that growth hormone

You guys have been on a roll with the good health uploads

Man's been talking for an hour without saying how to lose visceral fat. And how do you lose visceral fat without losing body fat?

Awesome to see MBPP "fellas" having Dr. Sean O'Mara on! I enjoy both of your content. To see a collaborative podcast with you all speaking of the health issues at hand is great! Alternative routes to nutritional lifestyle success that seem unconventional are the key to a healthy future for "the people." Feels silly to say "unconventional." But being healthy and caring about your nutrition and fitness has become uncommon among the commons, unfortunately. It takes conversation like this to occur and consistent attention to the needed changes in medical training. And helping to educate people/patients/providers properly. Grateful to have all-around healthy conversations of quality. Thank you all for your much needed time and service dedicated to sharing the experience and knowledge 🙏

Love the content fellas! Convos like this improve and save lives 10000%💪🏼

that camera switch to an empty mic 🤣🤣

Great show today guys!

This is very interesting!! Thankyou !

It is definitely our duty to pressure wash the inside of the porcelain bowl

Moral I took out of the whole thing - lie to your wife and good things will happen 😁

Good ep

Sean, do you have any experience with lipedema in women and visceral fat? So little is known about this fat/lymph/connective tissue disorder that affects 11% of women worldwide.

God bless Dr O’Mara 🎉🎉🎉

Timestamps???

Great podcast

Bounce wit it bounce wit it

I think this guy is Brilliant, and just love how Guys just really talk and Communicate. Gaining knowledge and Laughing my Ass Off.

Dr Sean O'Mara on the Power Project, how good is that combo! Hilarious.

About time!!!!!

Man said Rogan was full of disease. Rogan should have him on, and then implement the protocol. Lets see if his rather large midsection shrinks and his head gets smaller.

*I've known this for several years and have to wonder what role the stem cells produced in visceral fat also play in this.* The quality of those stem cells they produce is probably very poor when there is excessive visceral fat. *The studies using really intense, sudden and short duration burst exercise but repeatedly performed for workouts as well as really intense fasts I've seen show the reversal or remission of various diseases and even the generation of new neural pathways that are beneficial in countless ways.* I suspect the fasts resets processes with their own habits in how they do things due to the consistency of an unhealthy diet and lifestyle.

The comment directly below mine saying same… I’m just elaborating. I’d like the doc to make his protocol * factors* more explicit. He’s coming across well in general principles but weak in designing specifics for oneself - especially the training specifics. For example, is it the biomechanics specifically of sprinting or the physiological intensity that makes it so helpful? Could rowing or kettlebells fill in just as well (I’ve got clients who absolutely cannot sprint), plus outdoor sprinting in urban environments is pretty much impossible. We can’t really cruise around to coops finding fermented concoctions… what is a good plan for consuming fermented foods by usual means, ie., the supermarket. Greek yogurt? Sauerkraut? Japanese pickles? Taking probiotics? What? Are you advocating for pure carnivore or ketogenic or paleo? Can’t really tell. Or do I need to experiment with all these factors and just keep getting MRI’s ?? What should my STRATEGIC game plan (to reference Jocko Willink) be for optimizing elimination of VF. And, unless my pee is green and I can see my pulse am I “not there yet”? And, above all, it sounds to me that going 50% of your life in fasting mode would likely cut all kinds of fat… that’s a really tough standard. Would IF be sufficient? What about ketogenic without fasting? Part of why we can’t get control over our health is because the advice is so muddled… Each person is different… OK. But how do you calibrate this for yourself??

About to go joy mode on that joint 😏😂

So sprint eat meat sour kraft am I missing something oh the sun .interesting

Dr Sean Omara, you’re from my area, Wash DC, so maybe that’s why you’re my favorite researcher? You and Dr Jack Kruse and Dr Anthony Chaffee. You 3 have changed my life forever. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. My visceral fat is leaving my body thanks so much to your RU-vid interviews. Question. ❓❓ Dr Chaffee strongly advocates carnivore only. That’s me now with the exception of coffee as my only plant. Why doesn’t he include fermented plants? From listening to you, it seems as though I need to add fermented plants in immediately. What are my consequences from contributing 100% carnivore with zero fermented plants?

A good start for people on here wondering what to eat to build microbiome and adiponectin a good place to start is a good Mediterranean diet.. those foods have alot of protein and fats etc that help with that. Wild Fish, chicken, beans, legumes, spinach , berries etc

Wow that's me🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

He has tons of videos on the subject

Mark…where can we get an MRI for $250?

I was wondering why Simon Cowell was talking about visceral fat at first glance

Saladino is also much closer to the equator than Minneapolis.

Dr. Have you seen any changes in health from a world wide something and or the intervention?

I have had experience with the green urine before as well but normally when I have increased my B vitamin intake. As I understand it, reduced B2 is more of a green colour and oxidised B2 is what gives it that bright yellow. So if your urine is still yellow it is an indication that your body is still not replete with B2 (or FAD) and if you up the intake of a quality B2 then it will take on more of a greenish tinge. It's possibly also an indication that most B2 supplements are poor quality/garbage as the B2 is already oxidised.

Just went to do some sprints and pulled a muscle round 2, I was better off doing resistance training lol

Optimal levels of testosterone as with those on TRT has been shown to lower visceral fat. Of course if you have a shitty diet then testosterone may not be beneficial for less visceral fat levels.

This podcast immediately started talking about bonars 😂😂😂. What? 😂😂😂

I don't use the word bounce, I use the word throb or pulsate I guess that explains why I feel pulses in my fingertips and my temple and oftentimes you can see the pulse in my fingers

LETS GO

This whole inflammation in the face thing is quite interesting. People still think I'm in my early twenties, as long as I keep my hair short and you don't see the few gray hairs I have haha but I still feel like I'm 19 I still move like I'm 19 and the fact that I'm almost 35 and still don't have a single ring around my neck is probably a really good indicator that I'm low in the visceral fat area. I was never one to drink and I got away from seed oils as soon as I learned about them many years ago so that helps. I've always been active, even when I had three more inches around the waist I still had a visible six-pack and I've never not had a visible six-pack

16:48 why? There's a majority of people that are more concerned with making a few more dollars for their fancier car or another vacation property or the newest $$$$$$ TV etc, and working 60, 80, 100 hrs a week instead of saying no overtime or extra shift, I'm going to get an extra 1hr of sleep and spend 1hr at the gym or making a healthy meal. They'll quicker order off the dollar menu on their way to go into work a 12 or 16hr shift, then just watch TV for 45 minutes when they get home cuz they're so exhausted from work and not eating to fuel their bodies.

Think Joe spoke about doing growth hormone and that’s the reason for his face changes.

Is it me or does it sound like I’m getting medical advice from Owen Wilson?

tbh carnivore after the 7months hump of adapting you're basically super human. And yes he said that's his diet

Is there anything we can do to eliminate this crazy health care system?🤔

This guy reminds me of Joel olsteen, 1900’s snake oil salesman, and the liver king

Likeable guy, but tells people to sprint and not eat carbs to prevent/lose visceral fat. Yet sprinters eat TONS of carbs and have zero visceral fat. Doesn’t add up.

18:30 "stop talking about cholesterol" what are comment section think about this. - just curious. 🤔

Omara what's with the price on your packages. The very people that need your help are the ones that you price right out of your services. $3500-$35,000 is ridiculous. Just to tell them to sprint eat meat and fermented foods. Not hating just pointing out the obvious. If you an get it then get it. Make it a great day you deserve it

Well at least the dudes not a fat arse 😅 more likely to hear him out when they practice what they preach

I thought the green urine/waste is from iron like when you eat deer.

Joe has been on HgH for a long time, I always assumed his girth increase was from organ growth

BS meter ticking up on this guy

Important topic, but this dude is an absolute quack

How the fuck i wanna pay this shit😅

I’d argue the carb “problem” is more of a caloric overconsumption and poor metabolic function in those living more sedentary lives problem. Let’s not forget that many foods people associate with being high carb are also high fat and of course full of junky ingredients likely doing unsavory things inside our bodies. To put the blame primarily on carbs does not make sense to me.

The one guy had awesome results from cutting carbs and doing absolutely nothing else. Theres evidence that shows the only reason that keto helps you lose weight is actually just because of being in a calorie deficit and not because of the low carbs. Therefore couldnt you just do a normal calorie deficit while also staying away from processed foods and exercising and lose both sub cutaneous and visceral fat? Either way it was a good episode. Im going to switch from distabce runs to sprints for a few mitnhs and see if i notice any results. Thanks.

This guy spends way more time talking out of his ass than he does giving useful information. It comes off as him caring more about people coming into his office, than him wanting to help the general public. It was interesting that he stated that he told a patient 30+ things to do and that only cutting carbs worked, because it shows that 95% of his advice is redundant at best. Wouldn't trust a doctor who claims to be able to diagnose people by looking at their faces, and who's skin is so red they think their piss is green.

Good episode. Guy is weird af though lol

RFK? Wtaf lol

I've listened to this fella a few times in the past, pretty good!! Today?? Nah!! Wasted my time, didn't even finish podcast! He just seemed full of shit today!!

Talked a lot but didn’t say much

Come on Mark Bell ask him the questions on how to get rid of visceral fat this was a straight lame duck show

Tf is he talking about... "Inflammation in the face". It's just fat. When you get fatter you store fat everywhere, also in the face. Get leaner overall and your face gets leaner too

Green pee? 😮

Joe Rogan takes his health n fitness very seriously..he consults the specialists in the field n he’s much much smarter than this guy too. 🙄

Guy is talking alot without saying anything.... what a giant waste of time

JERKOFF NEVER TELL YOU ANYTHING JUST RAMBLE ON AND ON!!

Thats because Oprah is on ozempic haha
