Anti-Aging Expert: Stop Touching Receipts Immediately! The Fast Way To Shrink Visceral Fat!

We are being bombarded with disrupting

chemicals. A lot of them, they're in art

products.

>> Okay, let's go to my kitchen. Come with

me. So, this is my fridge.

>> So, the first thing I notice is this,

cuz that's like the worst.

>> Can I get a bin bag?

>> This is made from recycled electronics.

>> What about this?

>> This is a problem also.

>> And this?

>> Ding, ding, ding. This is great.

>> I'm going to do utensils next.

>> Heating it up. The plastic is getting

into your food.

>> What about a receipt?

>> That's bad. that's covered with BPA and

study in adolescent boys showed that it

was associated with a 50% reduction in

testosterone. And then this is one that

people often miss.

>> The biomedical scientist and anti-aging

doctor Rhonda Patrick is back.

>> This time she's talking about health

optimization, maintaining peak

performance

>> and the environmental toxins disrupting

your body.

>> Dr. Rhonda Patrick, let's talk about

something that I've never heard of

before. Peak span. What the hell is peak

span? So it's essentially being within

90% of your peak function. For example,

muscle mass, bone density that kind of

peaks around 25 years old and then they

kind of steadily start to decline.

>> You're joking.

>> And the same goes for cognitive

function.

>> So I'm on the way down.

>> Yeah. And I'm definitely on the way

down. But we can do things in our life

to help maintain that peak span. Like if

you exercise 5 hours a week, do some

highintensity interval training in there

and you can reverse heart aging by 20

years. And then sleep very very

important for preventing your immune

system from aging rapidly. And then

another thing that you can do that's

really important for brain aging is this

is associated with a rapid decrease in

Alzheimer's disease risk. But what I

really want to talk about is

intermittent fasting supplements and

being sedentary.

>> So I want to talk about all of that but

we've got to talk about this in my hands

at the moment.

>> So if you have this it's going to double

your risk of early mortality.

>> Double your risk.

>> Double.

>> Okay. So talk me through this. I want as

much detail as possible.

on with the show.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick, I am fascinated by

so many of the things that you talked

about and they're front of mind for me

at the moment because I'm a 33y old man

and I know from doing this podcast and

looking at graphs like this one, which

we'll talk about today, which I don't

think most people have ever seen in

their lives, that this is the age where

things might start changing direction

from here on over the next decade. And

there's things I can do to set myself up

now if I listen to your advice for the

remaining decades of my life to be

remarkably different. I'm playing with

this in my hands at the moment. It's for

anyone that can't see, you should

probably look at the screen right now.

It's a yellow blob of squidgy, slightly

disgusting material. What is this and

why does this matter?

>> So, this represents visceral fat.

It's something that most people haven't

heard of. Many people have heard of fat.

They know fat is bad, but they don't

realize there are different kinds of

fat.

>> There is visceral fat. And this is the

kind of fat that you can't really pinch

atapost tissue kind of fat, right? I

mean, if you opened up your body, you

could pinch it because it's deep deep

within your body. It's often referred to

as belly fat

>> and it's it's surrounding your organs

like your liver, your kidney, you know,

your intestines. This is a very deep

belly fat and it's very different from

subcutaneous fat. You can actually be

lean but have a high amount of visceral

fat. We call these metabolically

unhealthy people. So visceral fat, you

mentioned you're 33. The average 33 year

old male has how much visceral fat?

>> According to the data, it says roughly

1.2 pounds at the age of 30. And then

for a woman,.5 lb of visceral fat at the

age of 30. At 40, it's 1.7 lb for a man

and.7 for a woman. At 50, 2.2 lb for a

man, £1 for a woman. And at 60, 2.7 lb

of visceral fat and 1.54 lb for a woman,

which is the highest risk for metabolic

syndromes at that age. But I mean, all

of them are pretty scary.

>> It is. And as you notice, the trend is

as you get older, you have a higher risk

of having more of it. 70% of women over

the age of 50 have a high amount of

visceral fat. 50% of men over the age of

50 have a high amount of visceral fat.

This visceral fat, for one, it's going

to double your risk of early mortality.

Full stop. That's that's you know it's

it's going to double your risk. Double

your risk. Double double. Visceral fat

is as I mentioned different from the

other kind of fat. The subcutaneous kind

of fat the atapost tissue kind of fat

>> in several ways. One is that it is

metabolically active. It is secretreting

inflammatory cytoines. These are, you

know, molecules that are signaling to

the immune system, but they're also

involved with damaging our cells. And

for this reason, people with a high

amount of visceral fat are 44% more

likely to get metastatic cancer. That's

cancer that's going to metastasize. Very

dangerous types of cancer. They're also

more likely, you mentioned metabolic

syndrome. This is a big big thing with

visceral fat. This type of fat is

constantly

breaking down triglycerides into free

fatty acids. It's constantly doing it.

>> What's triglycerides?

>> Triglycerides are how your body is able

to store fatty acids and fat and use

them for later, you know, energy, right?

So, they're constantly breaking them

down and using them. They're using these

these fatty acids. But typically what

happens in your body when you eat a

meal, you have your glucose levels go

up, right? Your blood sugar elevates,

your glucose levels go up and that

signals to the pancreas in your body to

make insulin. Insulin is this hormone

that plays a role in many things. One of

it is to tell different parts of the

body to take gluc glucose up like your

liver, your muscle, your atapost tissue.

Well, the problem is is this visceral

fat is constantly making those free
