So we have our clients eliminate, we recommend that they either cut back, scale back on alcohol or completely eliminate it. And those that eliminate it completely have better results in eliminating visceral fat than those that continue to drink. And to the extent that you continue to drink you become more resistant to the elimination of visceral fat.

So somebody who comes back and has disappointing results between their scans, we will ask them about alcohol use. But for the most part, what's really interesting is people, when they get scanned, really are very, like I said earlier, very open to changing their lives more than any other time.

They do. And they say, you know, I've never thought about giving up alcohol, but now I see that stuff inside of me. And they give up alcohol. They give up processed foods. And the third thing that causes visceral fat is impaired sleeping. So if they have a sleeping disorder, if they have obstructive sleep apnea or they are apneic at nighttime,

we bring this to attention, their visceral fat, suddenly they get a lot more serious about using maybe their CPAP machine or going in and getting evaluated for CPAP or obstructive sleep apnea, or they work on improving their sleep hygiene, becoming more attentive to how they may be impairing the sleep. A lot of people don't value sleep.

They see this huge amount of visceral fat that they have inside of them. And so with that awareness, suddenly they start going to bed earlier. They start cutting out all the stimulation and other things. And that we could do months of shows on sleep. But suffice it to say that impaired sleeping has a major contribution to visceral fat. The fourth one... surprises people.

And it was a very interesting conversation that you had with Dr. Lustig. It's about stress. So stress causes through the mediation of cortisol. the contribution and composition and deposition of visceral fat within the abdomen.

And so individuals who unknowingly have stress in their lives or who have stress in their lives but simply tolerate or put up with it will be unfortunately accumulating unnecessarily a visceral fat inside of them to the extent that they have it. Now everybody's body is a little bit different and some people respond to stress a little bit different.

But to the extent that you can eliminate stress, you will eliminate the composition or deposition of visceral fat inside of people. So it's really an important discussion for people to be aware of. And then the final point that we see is, believe it or not, and it came as a surprise, is durational exercise, where we simply exercise too much.
