    Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT) as a Major Modifiable Driver of Cardiometabolic Risk

    Two people can share the same weight and BMI yet have completely different risks of heart attack and type 2 diabetes. The difference is often visceral fat — the hidden fat wrapped around your organs. This article explains what it does, why scales miss it, and how to reduce it. Read article

  2. How to Measure Your Waist

    How to Measure Your Waist

    Waist circumference predicts cardiometabolic risk better than weight or BMI — but only when measured at a fixed anatomical landmark: the midpoint between your lowest rib and the top of your hip bone. Measuring at the “narrowest point” flatters the number and hides the risk. Read full blog

    Why Your CGM Only Tells Half the Story

    Your continuous glucose monitor shows exactly how bread affects blood sugar but misses the fructose pathway completely.

  6. VAT Brain

    VAT Brain

    Your belly fat isn't just threatening your heart — it's actively damaging your brain. Visceral adipose tissue drives the insulin resistance, inflammation and vascular damage that accelerate dementia, stroke and Parkinson's disease, often decades before symptoms appear. The hopeful part: every step in that chain is, in principle, reversible. Read full article

    Is coronary artery calcification good or bad?

    The VAT Trap: Understanding the Metabolic Doom Loop

    Most metabolic problems start years before symptoms appear.

Understanding this doom loop is the first step to breaking free from it and restoring metabolic health. Read the blog
