In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy delves into the often misunderstood topic of body fat, addressing feedback from a previous video about visceral fat. While fat (adipose tissue) serves many essential functions crucial for human survival, like energy storage, insulation, and hormone production, excess levels can lead to a wide array of health problems.

We'll explore how excess fat, especially visceral fat, contributes to "generalized disruptions" in the body, including hormone dysregulation, chronic inflammation due to excess cytokines, lipid accumulation in unwanted places, and mechanical stress on organs.

Jonathan also discusses what are considered healthy body fat percentages and the multifactorial nature of these conditions, emphasizing that the intention is always scientific education, not "fat shaming". Learn about valuable tools like the Hume Health Body Pod to understand your body composition.
