You may have heard that the balance of your gut microbiome — or gut health — can impact more than just digestion. Emerging research suggests there’s a real connection between gut microbiota and visceral fat (the kind that packs around your organs and poses real health risks).

A study in Clinical Nutrition (PMC 6611773) shows that both gut microbiota and diet can significantly affect visceral fat mass (VFM), which is a major contributor to cardiometabolic diseases. Supporting this, multiple studies have found that visceral fat correlates closely with the composition of the gut microbiome.

Even more promising, research shows that certain beneficial bacteria, like Bifidobacterium longum and Eubacterium eligens, are associated with lower visceral fat levels.

Nurturing a healthy, diverse gut microbiome may help reduce visceral fat and improve metabolic health.

👉 At Idaho Weight Loss & Wellness, we carry high-quality prebiotics and probiotics. Meeting with your IWLW provider can help you determine which options are best for your unique needs.

Supporting your gut microbiome, through diet, supplements, and lifestyle, could be a smart strategy to reduce dangerous belly fat and improve overall health.

The chair design allows women and men to remain fully clothed for the full duration of treatment. There is no pain or downtime, so patients can walk out immediately following their appointment.

And get this: 95% of our patients are satisfied that their treatment improved their quality of life. Our patients enjoy the complete resolution of symptoms more than 65% of the time.

Imagine laughing, coughing, sneezing, and exercising without worrying!

Close your eyes for a moment. Take a slow breath in, and let it out gently. Feel the air moving in and out, steady and calm.

Now, bring your attention to your feet. Curl your toes. Notice the floor beneath you, the way it holds and supports you. You can do this anywhere: outdoors with bare feet in the grass, or indoors curling your toes into the rug. Wherever you are, let yourself feel anchored.

Listen closely. What sounds are near? The hum of a fan, a car outside, the quiet creak of your home. Each sound is part of the moment you’re in.

When you’re ready, open your eyes. Choose one thing to look at—a photo, a plant, a small object you love. Notice its shape, its colors, its textures. Allow your focus to rest there.

Grounding is simply this: coming back to your senses, coming back to yourself. In this moment, you are safe. You are steady. You are here.

💧 Water called. It misses you.

Take a sip, take a break, and let your body thank you.
Staying hydrated is one of the simplest ways to support your health and wellness. Consider this your reminder: drink up and feel the difference.

— Exercise: One of Visceral Fat’s Worst Enemies

This month we’ve been talking about visceral fat, the dangerous fat that sits deep in your abdomen, wrapped around your organs. It’s linked to heart disease, diabetes, and inflammation. Today, we’re having a conversation about exercise and its relationship to it.

Exercise, in general, helps with visceral fat, but today, we’re going to focus on two specific kinds of exercise to help reduce it:

HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) – Short bursts of activity with rest in between. Think sprints, fast cycling, jumping jacks, or brisk walking intervals.

Resistance Training – Building strength with weights, resistance bands, or bodyweight moves like squats, push-ups, or planks.

HIIT burns calories quickly. Resistance training builds muscle that keeps burning calories, even at rest.

Together, they protect your health, reduce visceral fat, and help your body work at its best.

Your Idaho Weight Loss and Wellness provider can guide you toward the right balance for your goals and fitness level. Start today!

Research shows that skimping on sleep doesn’t just make you groggy, it can lead to a measurable increase in visceral fat. One study even found an 11% jump in abdominal visceral fat after periods of insufficient sleep (Source: Mayo Clinic: ‘Lack of sleep increases unhealthy abdominal fat,’ by Terri Malloy, March 28, 2022).

When you don’t sleep well:
* Your body produces more of the stress hormone cortisol, which encourages fat storage around your organs
* It also disrupts hunger hormones, raising ghrelin (which makes you feel hungrier) and lowering leptin (which tells you when you’re full)

Better sleep isn’t just rest, it’s a health strategy. It helps regulate fat storage, hormones, metabolism, and inflammation.

Here’s how to improve your sleep hygiene:
* Set a consistent bedtime — yes, even on weekends
* Limit screens an hour before bed (blue light delays sleep hormones)
* Avoid caffeine late in the day
* Keep your bedroom cool, quiet, and dark
* Wind down with calming habits: light reading, gentle stretches, or deep breathing

Think of sleep as nightly maintenance for your body. When you give it enough rest, it’s better equipped to manage weight, lower inflammation, and keep visceral fat in check.
