Local Hyperthermia for Fat Loss
1:34:22 - 1:41:21 (06:59)
Local hyperthermia involves heating a particular area of fat tissue, converting white fat to beige fat, which leads to systemic increases in thermogenesis and metabolism resulting in fat loss.

The recommended protocol for cold exposure is 11 minutes per week, which can increase brown fat stores, making a person more comfortable in cold temperatures and increasing core metabolism.

Summary
The recommended protocol for cold exposure is 11 minutes per week, which can increase brown fat stores, making a person more comfortable in cold temperatures and increasing core metabolism. Local hyperthermia triggers a biological process in fat tissue to convert white fat to beige fat, which is the metabolically active form of fat.

Burning a certain surface of the body can convert white fat to beige fat, leading to systemic increases in thermogenesis, metabolism, and even fat loss.

Summary
Burning a certain surface of the body can convert white fat to beige fat, leading to systemic increases in thermogenesis, metabolism, and even fat loss. Furthermore, increasing brown fat through skin surface burns can increase one's core metabolism and ability to handle colder temperatures.

Beige and brown fat can act as a source of fuel that is burned to generate heat in the body, becoming increasingly important as we age and lose muscular function.

Summary
Beige and brown fat can act as a source of fuel that is burned to generate heat in the body, becoming increasingly important as we age and lose muscular function. These fats are primarily located around the spinal cord and neck, and tend to disappear as we get older.
