Obesity Truths, Part 2: When Fat Is Your Bodyguard—Why It’s So Dang Hard to Lose
And What Your InBody Scan Is Trying to Whisper Through the Muffin Top
Remember in Part 1 when we dropped the bomb that your fat might not be sabotaging you, but actually saving you? Well, buckle up—we’re about to go deeper. Literally.
Let’s talk about the kind of fat that doesn’t jiggle, doesn’t show up in selfies, and doesn’t get much press… but causes all the problems. We’re talking about visceral fat—your body’s internal toxic storage unit.
🧠 Visceral Fat: Your Body’s Overworked, Underpaid Security Guard
Visceral fat lives deep in your abdomen, wrapped around your organs like a bodyguard who never clocks out. Why? Because your system is overwhelmed with:
Chemical exposures
Heavy metals
Processed food byproducts
Endocrine disruptors
Inflammation from chronic stress
Since your liver and kidneys can’t always keep up, your body stashes the “hazardous waste” in visceral fat for safekeeping.
But here’s the problem: while that may work short-term, long-term visceral fat is highly inflammatory and metabolically destructive. It can directly lead to:
Insulin resistance
Mitochondrial dysfunction
Chronic fatigue
Fatty Liver Disease (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic)
And yep, Type 2 Diabetes
🧪 This Is Why We Don’t Guess at Novum—We Test
Before we even think about your protocol, we collect deep data on your internal terrain. Our testing toolbox includes:
📊 InBody Composition Analysis
Reveals:
Visceral fat vs. subcutaneous fat
Muscle mass
Intracellular hydration
Overall body composition trends over time
🧬 OligoScan
This quick, non-invasive scan shows:
Heavy metal burden
Mineral status
Oxidative stress potential
Early signs of metabolic dysfunction and diabetes risk
🧠 Want to see breakdowns before they show up in labs? OligoScan is your friend.
💦 Antioxidant & Hydration Score
Reveals how resilient your cells are—or if they’re barely hanging on.
❤️ HRV + Cardiac Vessel State Testing
Shows how well your nervous system is handling stress—and whether that stress is quietly tanking your metabolism.
📉 Why Traditional Dieting Fails Visceral Fat
You can’t starve it. You can’t out-crunch it. And you definitely can’t shame it into leaving.
That’s because visceral fat is a biochemical symptom—not a calorie problem. It sticks around when your mitochondria are sluggish, your detox pathways are clogged, and your hormones are confused.
This is why people say, “I’m doing everything right… and still gaining weight.”
Because your body’s still using fat as a long-term toxin storage locker.
🛠️ What Novum Does Differently (Backed by Science)
We don’t throw cookie-cutter weight loss plans at your body. We restore function, calm your nervous system, support detox, and help your cells remember how to burn energy again.
Here’s how:
🔹 Flowpresso
Deep compression + far infrared + parasympathetic reset = nervous system magic + detox drainage.
📖 Study: Improves parasympathetic activity and reduces stress-related inflammation
🔹 Red Light Therapy
Supports mitochondrial repair and triggers fat cells to release stored toxins and lipids.
📖 Study: YT Video by Dr Mike Belkowski discussing Red Light and the Mitochondrial triad
🔹 Cell Defender
Our go-to binder for toxins in circulation. It works passively—no starvation, no flushing, and no stealing your minerals.
📖Study: Excretion studies using DetoxoliteTM, key ingredient in Cell Defender
🔹 Avini Fiber
This gut superhero helps:
Lower A1C
Reduce cholesterol
Bind toxins in food
Feed beneficial gut bacteria that support insulin sensitivity and metabolic balance
Fiber isn’t just for regularity—it’s regulatory.
🔹 CAROL Bike + Vibration Plate
Powerful, time-efficient tools to stimulate glucose metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity, and tone muscle.
📖 Study: REHIT reduces HbA1c and improves metabolic flexibility
🔹 BrainTap
This brainwave entrainment tool helps reset mental patterns and downshift your stress state, especially when stacked with Flowpresso or Red Light.
📖 Study: Brainwave entrainment improves stress resilience and stress response
📈 And Yes—We Track Results
We monitor:
Visceral fat trends (InBody)
Toxic burden and mineral shifts (OligoScan)
Nervous system status (HRV)
Inflammation, hydration, energy, and muscle
Because fat loss without healing isn’t success—it’s just a smaller symptom.
🔜 Coming in Part 3: The Full Insulin Sensitivity & Metabolic Support Stack
You’ve seen the symptoms. You’ve learned the science.
In Part 3, we’ll show you exactly how to fix it.
We’ll break down Novum’s complete Insulin Sensitivity & Metabolic Support Stack, designed to:
Improve glucose metabolism
Detox gently
Rebuild mitochondria and muscle
Support long-term metabolic repair
And help anyone using—or recovering from—GLP-1 meds like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro
No shame. No starvation. No one-size-fits-all advice.
Just a bio-individual, full-body strategy rooted in real data, advanced tools, and cellular healing.
