Japan has a 4.5 percent obesity rate. The United States has 42 percent. Same modern world. Same access to junk food. Same long work hours. Ten times the difference in belly fat.
And they are not counting calories. Not grinding out hours in the gym. Not touching a strict diet.
I just got back from Japan where I went specifically to watch their daily habits with my own eyes. And what I saw changed how I think about belly fat completely.
Because the reason your belly fat will not shift no matter how clean you eat or how hard you train is often not your diet at all. It is your cortisol. And Japan has quietly figured out how to keep it low as an entire culture.
In this video I am giving you the exact six habits that do it 👇
🌲 The Japanese forest habit almost nobody in Western fitness is talking about and why it drops cortisol measurably every single time
🚶 The famous 10000 step target was never a scientific finding. Here is where it actually came from and why the Japanese walk without even thinking about it
🍵 The amino acid in green tea that blunts your stress response without making you drowsy
🍚 The ancient Okinawan eating rule practiced by people who live to 100 and how it quietly stops the cortisol spike most people trigger three times a day
🛁 The evening ritual built into Japanese homes that resets your cortisol overnight while you sleep
🍜 The shape of the Japanese meal that keeps blood sugar gentle and inflammation low without a single diet rule
👇 Comment CORTISOL below if you want the exact supplements and daily protocol I use to keep my own cortisol down. If enough of you ask I will film it next.

СТРЕСС. Непреходящий и неизбывный стресс. Борьба за выживание. За жизнь.
ok
You can give any advice but I live in a ugly, too ugly and dirty south Italian city, with many, too many sub human that love to scream and talking loud and use fireworks all night long and honk and…. I have so many cortisol that I'm thinking to selling it
Easy. Stop the sugar (the 24/7 drinking of Cola and lots of fruit juices – instead drink mineral water and eat oranges and apples) and the chocolate/sweets addiction. 🤷
Thank you. Very informative 🧡
Im actually on Miyakojima and enjoying my healthy meals.
One thing I do find unusual is that someone with such a large public platform does not appear to prominently disclose:
the university where they qualified,
their graduation year,
or any current medical registration number.
Those details are commonly provided by doctors who use the title professionally, as they make it easy for people to verify their credentials can you help Mike?
Thanks for teaching us ❤❤❤
The editing and cuts in this video are not congruent to the soft music, and is raising my cortisol levels.
Hello Doctor Mike,
You are a Doctor, Scientist, Natural Body Builder, and a You Tuber!
Thats amazing! I enjoyed every single moment of this Video.
Cortisol is the thing!!!!
America is different from the rest of the world as most Americans don’t take the time to eat with family and enjoy life. Too focused on making big money and speeding everywhere
🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
This is horseshit, Okinawa is not a blue zone anymore – fast food restaurants took them out, and many people there are obese.
It’s basically low food intake and probiotic food and soup and nature walks.
Most green tea and he is talking about matcha since basically all tea in the world is green tea leaves; unless it’s herbal tea;
He doesn’t explain that most matcha is mixed and fake as the business has exploded, and it’s hard to get real pure,
Also tons of research on Okinawa already out there
Do japanese eat compulsively junk food between main meals, just out of craving and not being really hungry?😁
Excellent
unlike everyone else, I found the food horrible, love Korean, Vietnamese, actually all other Asian food, Japanese was horrible, lost 15 kg in 5 weeks
Walking and bikes are normal in many places but the US 😂
Certain cultural habits….good and bad
And highest suicide rate in the world
Americans are fatter cos of heavily GMO foods and corn syrup that's pretty much in everything they eat.
cortisol
My cortisol is very low past 2-3 years and I have a lot of fat in my stomach. Cortisol is 7/19/26 max was 96
my kinda video
You forgot to mention that their fast food is healthy lol and McDonnalds arent the same as is in Usa, even in Europe burger is healthier than in usa
Your belly fat looks like it might be from a lack of engaging your core posturally/biomechanically. When I see you walk in this clip, you move from your waste not your hips. Meaning you don’t engage your core stabilising the Lsp. Instead swing your gait from it. This will tighten your Lsp and hips, whilst your abs don’t engage consistently. I may be wrong, but worth looking at.
but i need my fullplate of jambalaya at midnight 😀
Dr please talk about fresh rice and how Japanese eat everyday but not impact blood sugar?
What if my boss keep up my cortizol…. In my work hours, after that, my dear parents doo the same???? They all pushing my numbers!!! With all my green tea all day long, what is my healing ….?¿
💪💙🇨🇭
I'm confused, Japan also has work to death culture and one of the highest suicide rates in the world.

Thank you! This was such a refreshing reminder as a Japanese person. Since moving to Canada, I’ve gained 10 kg. It used to be so much easier to stay at my ideal weight in Japan, but somewhere along the way I forgot those healthy everyday habits. This video reminded me of them. Today, I’m going back to my Japanese routine. Thank you! 🇯🇵❤️
A really good video! Kudos to you!
