0:00.0	The obsession with weight loss at all cost and doing extreme diets and crazy stuff is not the way to go.
0:06.7	Because if you naturally just help your health improve, if your body needs to lose weight, it will.
0:17.3	Welcome to Commune. My name is Jeff Krasnow. Today we're exploring the topics of glucose metabolism and body recomposition.
0:29.6	So you might ask, what is body recomposition? Well, it is what it sounds like. It's transforming the composition of your body. Specifically,
0:40.3	body recomposition is the process of reducing fat and increasing lean muscle mass. Unlike
0:49.3	traditional weight loss or muscle building approaches, body recomposition finds a balance between fat loss
0:57.7	and muscle gain. Now body recomposition or fat loss and muscle gain is a much better way
1:04.6	to think about health versus just simple weight loss. So excess body fat specifically around visceral organs is linked to various health risks,
1:15.6	including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
1:20.4	By decreasing body fat, you enhance metabolic function and lower the risk of these obesity-related conditions.
1:30.3	Muscle, on the other hand, plays a crucial role in metabolism.
1:35.3	Now, obviously, it is associated with improved strength and is protective against age-related
1:40.3	conditions like sarcopenia, but in addition, muscle is a glucose sink. It helps to regulate
1:47.6	blood sugar levels and up levels your metabolic health. But muscle weighs more than fat. So this scale
1:57.2	might actually go up in your efforts to shift the ratios of fat to muscle to a healthy balance.
2:04.1	But the number on the scale shouldn't be the end all and be all if what you're looking for is
2:09.5	comprehensive and long-term health. Now preventing sarcopenic obesity is another benefit of body recomposition.
2:19.9	A sarcopenic obesity is characterized by the simultaneous presence of both sarcopenia
2:26.4	or loss of muscle mass and obesity, excess body fat.
2:30.7	The insidious thing about sarcopenic obesity is that you can sometimes appear from the
2:35.9	outside to be pretty healthy, but when sarcopenia and obesity coexist in your body, it can have
2:43.2	really negative synergistic effects on health, leading to greater functional impairments
