In this eye-opening episode of the Healthy by Heather Brown podcast, Heather sits down with Dr. Sean O’Mara, a physician and health optimization expert who’s shaking up what we think we know about wellness. With a bold approach to health and longevity, Dr. O’Mara challenges mainstream health advice and offers a radically different lens through which to view fitness, diet, and disease prevention. Together, Heather and Dr. O’Mara explore how visceral fat—the fat stored around our internal organs—is one of the most dangerous and overlooked indicators of health. Dr. O’Mara explains why this “hidden fat” plays a more significant role in chronic disease than many people realize—and how most of us are ignoring it. Dr. O’Mara also offers clear, actionable insights for those who want to reclaim their energy, improve their metabolism, and reverse disease, no matter their age or starting point. His message is both science-backed and practical—perfect for anyone looking to cut through the noise and build a life rooted in true wellness.Whether you're new to clean living or already on a holistic health journey, this conversation will inspire you to ask better questions, dig deeper into your habits, and take control of your well-being from the inside out.
