It turns out that belly fat is not a sign that you lack willpower. It is a sign that your stress levels and insulin are out of balance. I sat down with holistic doctor Sten Ekberg to explain why standard calorie counting fails and how to fix your metabolism for good. If you want to lose belly fat without feeling hungry all day, this conversation is for you.
In this episode, we reveal:
* Insulin Resistance: Why high stress and rising insulin force your body to store stubborn fat around your stomach.
* Sugar Cravings: How blood sugar crashes trick your brain into wanting food even when you are full.
* The Calorie Trap: Why eating less and doing endless cardio just slows down your metabolism and causes belly fat and visceral fat.
* Smart Fasting: How simple meal timing lowers your insulin levels so your body can burn stored fat for energy.
* Metabolic Reset: Practical ways to fix your health so you can lose the weight and keep it off naturally without suffering.

My son is 30. He is overweight. I don't understand what to do.
Thank you!!!
It's sad that parents look at kids nowadays and say, Hey, it's a healthy kid.If he's a little fatty , or if she's a little fatty. It's a form of child abuse
I think we need to define what hunger is, not just feeling hungry.
Real-world effectiveness includes practicality—not just whether a method works, but whether people can actually stick to it.
My dr will not test insulin because my A1c is good
Hi any advice on prolonged fasting with gout ?
I did 7 day fast but suffered with gout later , should I fast longer ? Is easy but I don’t want to suffer
The FDA pyramid is based on economics and not on health benefits.
I buy whole chicken because it's cheaper. I put the breasts through a meat grinder and use them to make pizza crust. It's delicious & the texture works well. Once you add some salami & cheese, there is more than enough fat
What is the best way to cook your meat
How much vegetables and also berries
Does this include raw unfiltered honey?
I’ve been doing HIIT workouts and they are a game changer for losing fat and gaining muscle 💪 🩵🎉
If only these videos where not so long!!
Sorry chicken breast are great for you.
My blood sugar avg is 105 I have plenty of energy no crashes
How can you give someone that has passed out sugar or a candybar?! 😂
sleep is your reset without it you keep insulin and cortisol levels high
The best of the best! I love your interviewing style and Dr. Eckberg is so smart, knowledgeable, good at explaining! Thank you to both of you@
I lived in a place once that had been a hollow space big enough to hide ten $100 bills right behind a key ring holder. It was unique to the house design and took me five years to find it. People searched that house many times and never found it. One person who was doing it would change the time on the clock when they left 😂
What's interesting, about not knowing you're stressed. I recently went in for ANOTHER thumb surgery, and although I'm usually very nervous, I wasn't scared at all. Been there done that, let's fix the other hand…but my BP, which is generally very normal, was ridiculously high. I was so mad. I kept telling my body to knock it off because I wasn't even scared this time. Silliness! And it seemed out of my control.
27:00 the Dr explains EXACTLY what sugar is.
💥💥💥
Water fasting and 20km walking 180kg to 73kg.
I loose belly fat through fasting. It was fast less than 2 weeks
Contradicting
Eat less your metabolism slows down yet he says skip breakfast
Living in this country right now is a source of chronic stress. It's hard to resist a cookie if you feel that everything is going to hell anyway.
this podcast relate with me, thanks
Hey Dr Ekberg, have you heard dr Fungs description on insulin resistance?? Please make comment on the confusion between insulin resistance and what Dr Fung describes it as.
Cheers 🍻
Why can't you guys get straight to the point? You are just beating about the bush
Very complicated
Not
Keto Ernährung, dann bleibt auch der Insulinspiegel niedrig und man nimmt ab. Auch sonst viele gesundheitliche Vorteile. Also Leute auf Fettstoffwechsel umstellen und den Industriemüll nicht mehr essen.
Точный способ как раз есть,как увидеть висцеральный жир! Его отлично показывает мрт и я не говорю, что это требуется какое-то специальное исследование, мы просто его видим у всех кого смотрим, но никогда не описываем.
I want to ask about hypoglycaemia and where it fits thank you super interesting podcast 🙏
Dr. Ekberg is easy listening health education. Nobody does it better. 😊
Be a Plant! Because actually the human needs all three too – Sun, Nutrients, Water – as well as the Grounding & Emotional side aka what she said – "sing to the plant".
Dr. Egg…is a pro In many ways. Thnx guys😊
Please provide some information. Where can I buy the red light thing? Thank you very much.
I have been doing grounding for a long time. So the planet earth is negatively charged body. We are bombarded with positive electrons from all gadgets and electrify around us, our cell die with positive charge, if we touch a tree or the ground bare feet the planet takes away all the positive electrons, your body is happy again. This is why all animals are disease free. They eat as per their program and are always grounded. Thank you for this episode with Dr. Ekberg, i love what he is doing to help the humanity.
In the event of stress and the body goes into fight or flight mode, I understand the body releases a surge amount of blood sugar ( energy ) my question is this, where does the body get this blood sugar energy from? Thanks!
How can we measure levels of cortisol?
Can I eat a organic grapefruit a day in addition to the suggested high quality protein and fats? Certainly not 100% no fruit? 🙏🏼
great interview; thank you 2; I would also suggest Isabella COOPER as a guest
If you’re a carnivore, your skin should be plump and healthy looking.
As a diabetic 2 I went off most carbs and fasted too. I ended up diabetic 1 and almost ended up in hospital. Nothing has worked for me except keep up my inflamation pain and enjoy life and mental energy and good cognitive dissonance. I eat when hungury even if carbs.
So i just started listening about belly fat. Im sure you all know you cant spot reduced justv on belly fat!
Thumbs down because you show a belly with subcutaneous fat while talking about visceral fat. Bad.
