But everything I learned there was so inaccurate. You know, they say, eat less, move more. Well, I did that. Didn't work. And I was disciplined. They said, don't eat red meat and eat six to 11 servings of grains a day. And it just made no sense to me. So I ended up flipping everything upside down that I learned during my dietetic internship. And I did exactly the opposite.

took my research and created the PhD approach. I changed my life. And to date, we've served over 10,000 people. Collectively, we've dropped over 466,000 pounds nationwide. We reversed type 2 diabetes, chronic diseases. And I'm just so grateful for the struggles that I went through.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah. So basically our belly fat keeps us fat. So what happens in our lives, generally speaking, is we have these triggers and they change the way that we tolerate our food. So for men, often a trigger is like something stressful, like a marriage or a relationship shift or a job change.

Or we work with a lot of like ex-collegiate athletes who are used to working out at a certain level and eating a lot of food. And then they stop that and they're like, oh, my gosh, the weight is just packing on. So we have these changes. And if we continue to eat the way we did before, we then go through this trigger. And now this food starts to accumulate as fat on the body.

And we think, what the heck's going on? I haven't done anything different. I haven't made a shift in my way of eating. It's not making sense. So what happens over time is we start to accumulate this belly fat. That's the visceral fat you were talking about. And this belly fat fills up the organs in our belly area, like our liver, our kidneys, all of them. But let's talk about the liver.
