Not all fat is equal. Visceral fat wrapping your organs silently drives heart disease, diabetes, and chronic inflammation — while subcutaneous fat tells a very different story.
The human body stores fat in two primary locations: subcutaneous fat (beneath the skin) and visceral fat (around the internal organs within the abdominal cavity). These two types behave very differently metabolically.
Visceral fat is metabolically active — it releases inflammatory compounds, free fatty acids, and hormones directly into the portal circulation, flooding the liver and disrupting insulin signalling, lipid metabolism, and systemic inflammation.
You cannot diagnose dangerous fat accumulation from the mirror or BMI alone. DEXA scans, waist-to-hip ratio, and metabolic blood markers reveal the true picture of your fat distribution and its health implications.
Understanding and tracking fat accumulation is essential for preventing serious, long-term health consequences.
Understanding the underlying drivers is the first and most critical step toward effective, lasting resolution.
