do you know where is one of the first
places you gain when you're gaining body
fat gaining weight you know where the
one of the first places in your body
that you're going to that the fat
actually accumulates where do you think
that might be I would guess the belly
right that's what most people think
because that's what you can see you know
my belly's getting bigger I must be
gaining weight not true it turns out one
of the most sensitive places that you
start to gain body fat as you're gaining
weight and this is true in skinny people
as well as well as big people um large
larger Siz body people is
your tongue your tongue gets fat you can
get a fat tongue now here's how it works
and this has been studied by people who
look at anatomy of the tongue so the
tongue actually has three parts the tip
of the tongue is like Cirus it's like an
acrobat it can do all kinds of fancy
things at the very tip the middle of the
tongue is is muscular okay it is super
strong and muscular because it moves
food around your mouth okay the back of
the tongue is kind of like a big bean
bag and it is marbled with fat visceral
fat like a ribeye steak that's normal
healthy that's the way the tongue is
actually made so when you actually start
to gain visceral fat one of the first
places that the visceral fat starts to
grow is in the back third of your tongue
now how do we know this this is actually
been studied in skinny people in fact
skinny women and what and what we what
happens is that um uh uh people notice
that uh usually it's the bed partners
that say this that hey you know what you
started snoring did you know that you
weren't snoring before now you're
snoring and the and the person goes you
know what actually that's really weird
because I'm starting to gain a little
bit of weight too and so this is the
connection when you're growing more body
fat your tongue gets fatter in the back
of your tongue and what happens is think
about it when you're sleeping you're
relaxed and when you're relaxed your
tongue is also relaxed and your fat
tongue start to slide back and block
your Airways now you snort you don't
sleep that well it's called sleep apnea
and you actually snore as well so
snoring is another biomarker of
accumulating extra extra visceral fat in
the back of your tongue uh that actually
is indicating that you're actually
starting to gain weight and gain body
fat that's so interesting and while
we're talking about the different types
of fat here one more area I want to dive
into we know we can take
certain foods in they're going to impact
stem cells and convert the white fat to
the brown fat you talk about a term in
the book Browning a fat is that
different or is that involve the stem
cells it's different it turns out that
there are some foods that can also take
white jiggly subcutaneous or visceral
fat and the natural chemicals and the
foods can basically tap the white fat in
the shoulder and go hey buddy you know
what white fat I I'm going to try to
convert you to being the good fat the
good Brown fat and so white the the the
the color between white and brown is
beige and so they call that beiging so
certain foods can even convince some of
your white fat to turn brown likee so
that fat that was once Wiggly and jiggly
in fuel tank can start to become fuel
burning as well and this is how powerful
foods can be they elevate your
metabolism
by burning down fuel by making more of
the mighty chria fat Lo loaded fat that
can burn down fuel by convincing stem
cells to make more of that good kind of
fat and by even convincing the wiggly
jiggly uh harmful fat to actually also
become more of that good fat as well
this is really untapped human potential
literally that is baked into our bodies
it's part of our operating system and
when you realize that foods that we eat
can activate the different parts of
these systems you realize that wait a
minute we don't need to fear our food we
should think about which foods can
actually do this and that all of a
sudden flips turn really turns the
entire turns the tables on this idea of
dieting by deprivation now why don't we
set the table and decide what dishes
we're actually going to put in front of
us with using ingredients I can do that
well let's attack weight loss from a
whole different area now and this is
angio Genesis an area that you're
definitely an expert in and this ties
back to a lot of our previous
conversations where there's certain
foods that can affect blood vessels
either to create more or to lessen and
prevent the creation of new vessels and
the reason why this is important in the
past we've talked about it from a cancer
perspective but tying it into our new
topic of metabolism and weight loss fat
as an organ needs a blood supply that's
right we can attack that blood supply we
can attack weight loss from that angle
so I'll have you take that and explain
in Greater detail what I was getting at
there okay every normal healthy organ in
your body requires a blood supply
including your heart your kidneys your
liver and your body fat remember body
Fat's normal healthy organ in your body
you need some blood supply but when fat
starts to grow excessively too much fat
starts to grow because you've overeaten
now you need to clone your and stem
cells need to make more fat cells to
fill up and load up with with fuel and
now you and you haven't finished loading
up it you need another uh fuel tank now
you're going to clone it again with uh
more stem cells now you got another one
keep on adding up that that that copy
pasting of the fuel cells of body fat
yeah of fat fat cells and now you've got
a mound of fat that has outgrown the
original fat that is healthy now just
like a tumor when it actually starts to
EXP expand abnormally it requires a
blood supply in order to really support
its bigger size so too does fat need a
blood supply to go beyond what it
normally wants to have now this is
actually where when you expand your body
fat excessive body fat your fat is
desperately growing bigger and bigger
and bigger and it needs more blood
supply so it's it's it's whipping around
looking for trying to grow new blood
vessels usually it grows faster than the
blood vessel can actually feed it before
you know androgenesis the growth of
blood vessels isn't fast enough and so
the center of this expanding fat starts
to die it doesn't have enough blood
vessels and so when fat like a tumor
this happens in a tumor as well so in a
tumor when the center of the tumor
doesn't get enough blood vessels because
enough blood flow because it's tumors is
expanding too large what happens is that
that kind of necrotic or like a kind of
rotting Center dying Center suddenly
attracts inflammatory cells it becomes
very inflammatory and the inflammation
in both tumors and fat actually isn't
just stuck in in in the in the mass
expanding Mass it leaks out and now
you've got inflammation spilling out
from your growing fat everywhere in your
body and as we know inflammation in the
body is very helpful when you have it in
small amounts in a right place at the
right time then it goes away but if you
have chronic leaking overflowing
inflammation in your body that goes
everywhere now it's a setup for
autoimmunity disease uh diabetes for
cancer heart disease uh vision loss all
Alzheimer's all kinds of really harmful
conditions associated with inflammation
which we know is so important so one of
the things that is actually interesting
that we're tearing a page from The
Playbook of cancer medicine so in cancer
you can actually give medicines that can
cut off the blood supply to tumors there
are foods that can do the same thing and
so what's really interesting is there
are certain foods that can help tame
excess of body fat that can cut off the
blood supply that cut prevent the tumors
from getting bigger and bigger just
because they they don't have enough
oxygen eventually they're going to start
to shrink and that's
anti-androgenic approach to body fat to
obesity and that's been shown in a lab
to work really well when you take a look
at the foods that actually um are also
useful for shrinking body fat and
improving your metabolism exactly the
same foods that have
anti-angiogenic tumor starving and now
fat starving properties as well let's
come back to the microbiome piece
another defense system we quickly
touched on it before but let's get
really practical and specifically from a
metabolism weight loss piece what we
want to do to support the microbiome and
how the physiology works there okay look
um almost almost everyone who's
interested in health and wellness has
heard of the microbiome microbiome is
gut bacteria it's actually bacteria
outside of our gut as well but most of
it's in our gut and you know a lot of
people don't actually appreciate where
in the gut the microbiome actually is
located it's in the last part of your
gut in a little pouchy area in your
colon called the seeum that's spelled
ceu m most of our gut bacteria is
actually found in that spot it's kind of
like a the the cave of of the the
corridor of the microbiome that's an
ecosystem and that ecosystem is composed
of oh somewhere about almost 33 39
trillion bacteria now we know some of
them but there's more that we're
discovering all the time and by the way
it's not just bacteria it's viruses it's
fungi um you know there's there's a lot
of there's archa there a whole other
species of organism that lives in our
gut but let's talk about bacteria for a
second we now know that certain bacteria
activate our metabolism all right uh and
when you're missing those bacteria one
of them is called acromium ucil when
you're missing that healthy bacteria
what happens is your metabolism doesn't
function properly and so you're not
drawing in energy the right way your fat
starts to grow out of control uh you
know you've got you're not not even when
you're eating regularly you might not
actually absorb all your energy
efficiently and so you can actually your
blood sugars can rise you become met you
get developed metabolic syndrome and so
so the lack of certain bacteria we know
um can be problematic and there are
certain foods that can grow back
acromania like pomegranate juice
cranberry juice uh conquered grape juice
for example are our our ways to actually
grow back and help nurture some of these
bacteria we also know by the way that
when you have extra body fat remember I
told you that inflammation leaks out I
mean think about like a a garden hose
you're filling up a a a pot in your
garden and you forget about it and the
the the the water overflows the pot and
and now it's everywhere it's got dirt
everywhere as well if your Fat's
inflammation spills out over the sides
it leaks everywhere very very dangerous
by the way that situation it actually po
that the Fat's poison in your blood or
it can poison your liver um that's
called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
leaking fat that poisons our organs
highly inflammatory situation all right
it turns out that our gut microbiome
healthy gut microbiome all right not
pois with too much sugar artificial
sweeteners Ultra processed foods all the
things that sodas things that really
harm our gut microbiome a good healthy
vibrant gut microbiome if you have too
much body fat and the inflammation leaks
up guess what your gut microbiome which
is a health defense system lowers
inflammation it basically is like the
fire um like the fire department to help
put out the inflammation put out that
fire all right if your cup microbiome is
damaged it can't put put out that fire
and not only and now not only is your
metabolism screwed up all right and your
fat is starting to grow and and and mess
up your metabolism further but the
inflammation is leaking out and now you
don't have the fire department to put
out that fire hi there if you enjoyed
