184: What belly fat REALLY means

by Dr. Steven Gundry | Nov 30, 2021 | 0 comments

Belly fat.

It’s something many Americans have struggled with at one point or another.

And carrying that extra weight around your midsection is doing so much more than impacting the way your clothes fit.

It’s seriously harmful.

In fact, my guests today say that excessive belly fat is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular and metabolic disease.

And that many of us are at risk – no matter how thin we might look.

On this episode, we hear from Dr. Paul Han and Hank Kim, the CEO and CSO of BELLO – the world’s first portable belly fat scanner.

We will discuss why so many of us struggle with belly fat, what our midsection may indicate about our health, and why simply stepping on the scale is NOT enough.

We also share how the BELLO device could help YOU decode your belly fat and better manage your health.

On this episode you’ll learn:
