EP 102. Body Fat: Types, Functions, and How to Evaluate It.

Hola :)

In today's episode, I'm bringing back a podcast VIP: my father, Dr. Juan Viña, Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, to explain everything about body fat.
In the podcast, we will learn:

• Types of fat we have: white, brown, and beige.
• Types of white fat: regional differences and health implications of having white fat in the subcutaneous area (abdominal and femoral-gluteal), in the visceral area (epicardial, retroperitoneal, and intraperitoneal), or having it in ectopic areas (which causes organ damage and is found in the liver, heart, muscle, and pancreas).
• How do we easily assess the amount of fat?
• We will discuss the limitations of BMI and other better alternatives.
• How we assess fat distribution.
• The role of excess insulin in the accumulation of visceral and ectopic fat.
• What types of fat-storing phenotypes exist.
• Health implications of poor fat distribution.
