Do You Struggle With Stubborn BELLY FAT? What it is, Why its Bad, WHY You Do, How to Correct!

If you’re new to my channel, my name is Dr. Sean O’Mara. I’m a Health Optimization Physician, which means I help people get rid of chronic disease and take their health to the next level without using pharmaceuticals or surgeries. I’ve spent the last 15 years researching and practicing the real secrets to health optimization myself. Since anyone can say anything online these days, let me give you some details you can look up and verify for yourself.

Here’s how I got here…

46 yrs old: Overweight and suffering from heart disease, back pain, and sleepless nights. I was diagnosed with atherosclerosis, Barrett’s esophagus, and degenerative joint disease.
47 yrs old: Doctors recommended surgery and more meds. I wasn’t ready to accept that.
48 yrs old: Received a research grant from the National Science Foundation.
48 yrs old: Spent the next 7 years studying disease at its root—working 4 a.m. to 7 p.m. every single day, all while supporting my family with a part-time job.
49 yrs old: During my research, I found the breakthrough: visceral fat, the hidden fat deep inside the body, was linked to nearly every chronic disease.
51 yrs old: I uncovered the key to reversing disease—eliminating visceral fat.
53 yrs old: I removed all my visceral fat. With it, I reversed every health issue—heart disease, back pain, atherosclerosis, and more.
54 yrs old: I dedicated my life to helping others achieve the same results.
55 yrs old: Started working with high performers—entrepreneurs, athletes, and executives—to optimize their health naturally, without relying on drugs or surgery.

Today: I work with people who want to optimize their health and appearance to match their level of success. We’re not just talking about removing disease. We’re taking health to levels that most doctors and pharmaceuticals say is impossible.

To everyone out there struggling with their health, you’re either writing a story of recovery or you’re still trapped by disease. The bigger the problem, the more incredible your comeback story will be!

Keep going. Your health is worth fighting for.

Never quit,
Dr. Sean

P.S. Don’t just grow older... grow better!

I'm 3 weeks into carnivore and getting stricter by the week. Fighting a serious carb and sugar addiction, but cravings are better the longer i do this. I am a 64yo female with prediabetes, high normal insulin levels, blood pressure creeping up, all the indicators of something bad is going to happen if i don't do something. I am committed to changing the way look, inside and out. I just found you about 1 week ago and want to thank you for all that you do and share with those of us who don't have the privilege to work with you. So grateful to you!

[gailmanley]

Sean’s style is just so forthright and humble. I love listening to his great info and he always makes me smile. 😊

[susieunderwood]

Dr. Sean, since watching your channel, I've added regular sprinting to my carnivore lifestyle. Very thankful my body can still sprint (I'm in my 50's). It's empowering and freeing. Thank you so much for sharing your research and knowledge with us!

[Jlavoice]

Saw you on Dr. Ken Berry's channel. So glad i found you. You both encouraged me to make some lifestyle changes. Im 57 years old, overweight, and have high BP. Im starting today by eliminating processed food and alcohol. Thank you for giving me hope.

[philsmith]

Dr. O'Mara, like many commenters I first saw you on your interview with Dr. Berry. I'm 66 and day 77 of keto and day 63 of Carnivore. Doing well on eliminating insulin resistance/ metabolic syndrome which has increased my afterload through edema. Did my first 3-day fast this week with salt and water only. Will do weekly for eight weeks. Love your comments and MRI-documented examples. Started my sprint routine yesterday on my last day of fast. I'm so encouraged. Thanks so much.

[David-R.]

One of the greatest, life-saving videos on the internet. I know because I know a lot about how the body works. If everyone follows this advice (unless you were allergic to yogurt or specific foods, which you can use the elimination diet, like carnivore, then reintroduce one at a time), then the big pharma would go broke within a few months. I'm serious, a few months only.

[lautburns]

Okay, let’s try this out. Been keto for 1.5 years healthy 79 yo. Sprinting for the second day, muscle awareness is evident so that’s good. ✋🏻👍

Dr. O, butcher, baker, candlestick maker… is there anything you haven’t done? Amazing! Btw, the reason you’ve been able to reach your full human potential is because you eat right. My brain power increased significantly when I stopped the bad stuff (including pharmaceuticals, OTC’s, and television) and incorporated the good stuff. What a remarkable difference!

[leehenry]

Dr. Sean! I switched to sprinting for my run workouts and I am beginning to feel the difference. Took up resistance training again as well 2 1/2 years ago which has also helped. I'm still at about 17% BF. I'll be 65 in 2 months which is my goal date to lose another 10 lbs of that nasty fat! Thanks for all you do!

[JavierBonillaC]

One has to come to terms with food not being a reward in life, much less your MAIN reward. One has to get a life exciting enough to end up not minding about food. You get your kicks elsewhere. Thank you for an interesting video.

I’m 40 yo female. I started your sprints this week. I couldn’t believe it! I loved it. I had very vague knee pain but my son noticed I wasn’t striking with my toe but rather my heels. I slept so well I hope to continue the sprints. I also need to really stop the junk food going in. I still have coffee with just some milk and sardines for lunches at work. I really need to get this to work for me and I must stop sabotaging myself and get healthy.

[crocodilegrundee]

Glad I found you on Dr Ken Berry’s podcast. I’m a 54 year old truck driver, and have been carb and sugar heavy for the last few years at least.

I went straight carnivore 7 days ago, and have been sprinting every day. Now I am going to do it more aggressively, but every other day so I have time for my muscles to recover. It’s amazing how quickly I have seen results, and I am going to keep it up for life.

Thank you so much for what you and Dr Berry are doing. I have always had a fairly positive outlook on life, but I am much more positive about the future.

Watching from Europe (Denmark) Thank you Dr. Sean for helping us understand how we get visceral fat and and how we can get rid of it! You are one of the few docs I trust. Please keep uploading your lectures so we all can have a better health 🙏

[blew]

Why aren't doctors around here talking about this? I'm really starting to question our medical system these days. Dr. O'Mara you're a saving grace. Thank you for giving us honest health information. Maybe other docs with follow your lead.

[ErinCRN]

I’m a 49 year old 5’7” 130 pound healthy muscular menopausal woman with a very small amount of stubborn subcutaneous belly fat. I play tennis 2-4 times a week. Walk 3-5 miles a day. Weight lift 3 times a week, including core. Carnivore for over 6 months. Was keto and low carb last three years. I have the smallest amount of fat on my belly that just won’t budge. I rarely drink. Have had celiac since birth. Allergic to dairy too since birth. I’ve been struggling with sleep because of Dawn phenomenon, so I’m eating my last meal slightly later at 6:30-7 to prevent my blood sugar from dipping to low, waking me up at 3am.

Mindfulness is much more than just positive thoughts. It is a prevention tool. I teach an evidence-based curriculum to kids in schools and through camps. It really does work in mitigating their stress levels. I will agree that once cortisol is already present, you should probably walk or run or find something to do to burn it off.

[gregwendt]

Dr Sean, I’m on a partial carnivore lifestyle and have been struggling trying to stay consistent, following 5 joint surgeries in the last 3 years. I was very glad, & encouraged, to hear you speak of the alternative exercises to actual sprinting. I will soon be healed enough from a knee repair surgery to be able to use a recumbent bike to do some bike sprints.
Thank you for your expertise and for sharing visceral fat information. Much of it will work for this 71 yo.

[JeJe]

I heard you with Dr. Berry for the first time yesterday. THANK YOU! I'm 64, started "sprinting in place" in the middle of my walks around my house ... just start pumping my arms and legs as hard as I can for about 60 seconds (think Flashdance?!😄). I hope this moves my body toward health, along with carnivore and fasting! Thank you!

[claudiaholloway]

I enjoy your lectures immensely! You are so helpful!
