In this episode of The Diary of a CEO, featuring Dr. Pradip (Pradeep) Jamnadas and Steven Bartlett, Insulin Doctor: The Fastest Way To Burn Dangerous Visceral Fat! I'm Finding Mould In My Patients! explores insulin Doctor Reveals Fasting Blueprint To Erase Deadly Visceral Fat Cardiologist Dr. Pradeep Jamnadas explains why visceral belly fat, chronic high insulin, and hidden inflammation are driving an epidemic of premature heart disease—even in people who appear healthy. He argues that conventional markers like normal blood sugar and LDL alone miss years of underlying metabolic damage driven by hyperinsulinemia, leaky gut, toxins, and mold.
Insulin Doctor Reveals Fasting Blueprint To Erase Deadly Visceral Fat
Cardiologist Dr. Pradeep Jamnadas explains why visceral belly fat, chronic high insulin, and hidden inflammation are driving an epidemic of premature heart disease—even in people who appear healthy. He argues that conventional markers like normal blood sugar and LDL alone miss years of underlying metabolic damage driven by hyperinsulinemia, leaky gut, toxins, and mold.
He lays out a prevention-first strategy built around fasting (especially 18:6 and periodic longer fasts), low-frequency eating, fiber-rich real foods, resistance and interval training, gut repair, toxin avoidance, and key supplements such as vitamin D3, K2, omega-3, magnesium and probiotics.
Jamnadas distinguishes between calorie restriction and true fasting, emphasizing that fasting uniquely lowers insulin, burns visceral fat first, boosts ketones, stem cells, autophagy and mitophagy, and improves vagus nerve and heart function.
He also challenges common beliefs on ‘healthy’ foods (fruit, white rice, vegetable oils, calcium supplements), highlights the under‑recognized roles of mold and pesticides, and stresses that nearly all coronary artery disease is traceable to specific, modifiable sources of inflammation.
Key Takeaways
Visceral belly fat is a visible sign of dangerous hyperinsulinemia.
A protruding belly with relatively lean limbs strongly suggests insulin resistance and high background insulin, even if blood sugar and HbA1c are normal. ...

Fasting, not just calorie cutting, is the fastest way to lose visceral fat and reset metabolism.
Calorie restriction alone triggers metabolic slowdown and loss of both fat and muscle. ...

Frequent refined carbs and processed foods drive insulin resistance long before diabetes shows up.
Eating every 2–3 hours—especially refined carbs, sugars, juices, white flour products, and low‑fiber processed foods—keeps insulin elevated for most of the day. ...

Gut health and leaky gut are central drivers of fatty liver and coronary artery disease.
A dysfunctional microbiome and compromised intestinal barrier allow bacterial wall fragments (lipopolysaccharides) and other gut contents into the bloodstream, first hitting the liver via the portal vein. ...

Hidden toxins—especially mold, pesticides, and heavy metals—create chronic inflammation that accelerates heart disease.
Jamnadas reports that a large proportion of his patients test high for pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, and mold toxins. ...

Exercise should prioritize resistance training and short, intense intervals over chronic long‑distance cardio.
In his practice, extreme endurance exercisers (long daily cycling, long treadmill runs, chronic marathon training) often show more coronary artery disease and inflammation than those doing brief aerobic work plus resistance and HIIT. ...

Several common ‘health’ practices backfire: calcium pills, fruit overload, seed oils, and overcooked foods.
High‑dose calcium supplements are linked with increased vascular calcification; Jamnadas stops them in cardiac patients and instead emphasizes vitamin D3 and K2 for proper calcium handling. ...

If you have a belly sticking out, you have a problem because the fat that's in the stomach, that's called visceral fat. This is very detrimental fat, and that's the epidemic that we have today. But the only thing that'll make you lose that fat very quickly is-
Dr. Pradeep Jamnadas is a world-leading cardiologist... Who has treated more than a quarter of a million patients with chronic heart disease. Now, he's using his voice to help millions more prevent ending up on the operating table through simple lifestyle techniques.
This is crucial. Glucose actually is toxic inside the bloodstream, and the body pours insulin into the bloodstream to push glucose out. But frequent consumption of carbs, sugar, processed foods is causing insulin to stay up, which can lead to insulin resistance, and you're gonna be more prone to heart disease, which is the number one cause of death all over the world right now. But this is where fasting comes in because after 12 hours, you start pulling the fat out, and the first place the fat comes out of is gonna be visceral fat. But with modern living, we have lost this physiology of fasting, so we'll go into that.
And there must be certain things which people aren't aware aren't healthy as it relates to my cardiovascular health.
Yes. So I see that people who overly do aerobic activity, they end up with more coronary artery disease than patients who do short sprints and resistance exercises. Then there's mold, and almost 70% of homes these days have some form of mold toxicity in them. But also one night of bad sleep, you become insulin resistant the next day. And there's calcium supplements, excessive fruit, white rice-
White rice?
You'd be surprised how much arsenic there is in rice these days.
I watch a lot of True Crime. People kill each other with arsenic.
Yes. And it'll slowly kill you. And lastly, this is gonna surprise you.

Dr. Pradeep Jamnadas, what is it you've spent the entirety of your career, especially the last few decades of your career, focusing on?
Prevention of heart disease, which is the number one cause of death all over the world right now. You see, the heart is made up of many parts. So this is important. It's a pump, so it's a muscle. So you have diseases of the muscle, and it's rampant these days. Cardiomyopathy, weakness of the muscle. Then you have the arteries on top of the heart, and that's called coronary artery disease. Diseases of the arteries, they block up. Then you have the valves. The valves tend to get damaged as well. For example, aortic stenosis. And then you have the peripheral circulation, all the blood vessels that go to your carotids, your brain, your legs, and to all the organs of your body. And then you have microvascular disease, which is the tiny capillaries, that they become dysfunctional as well.
