In this episode of The Daily Apple, Kevin and Sam (aka Sam Sam the DEXAScan Man 🧪) break down one of the biggest silent threats to your health—visceral fat—and what to actually do about it. This isn’t just about tightening your belt. We’re talking inflammation, heart disease, diabetes, sleep disruption… the works.

From real-life DEXA scan stories (shoutout to the 6 pounds of surprise belly fat 👀) to practical, no-BS advice, the guys outline the “cheat code” to tackling visceral adiposity. Spoiler: it's not about being perfect—it's about picking just three things and doing them consistently.

🔥 The 8 Things to Tackle Visceral Fat:

1. Cut Refined Carbs & Added Sugars – Less soda, more real food.
2. Move More (Even Just a Walk) – Fancy workout plans? Optional. Daily movement? Required.
3. Limit Alcohol – Sorry, but booze is a fat-burning blocker.
4. Stay Hydrated – Your cells and metabolism will thank you.
5. Get Better Sleep – Seriously, this might be the most important one.
6. Strength Train (Even Just 2x/Week) – Muscle is metabolic gold.
7. Try Intermittent Fasting (if it fits your life) – A helpful tool, not a magic trick.
8. Reduce Stress – Walking after dinner counts. So does not yelling at traffic.
