About

This week's Over Privileged White Guy (OPWG) book podcast Episode Six (6) talks about Why Body Type Matters & Muscle Mass with host Walter Hego (Body Type One), author of the Over Privileged White Guy Book, and panel member Gnosis (Body Type Four), who is the main researcher at Fellow One Research. The discussion focuses on why body type matters, why The Four Body Types are so important. Understanding genetics, muscle mass, and posture (vertebrae and spinal extension) are vital to genuinely comprehending how a specific body type affects day-to-day living including metabolism, the brain, and the enteric brain. Life is hard, and each specific, individual human being’s ability to function in daily life is directly affected and influenced by their body type. All human bodies have the main 650 muscles at birth, but not all human bodies have those muscles fully developed with full muscle mass thanks to no less than genes. The less muscle mass one has, the lesser the body type. Less muscle/muscle mass means a diminished ability to hold the energy/stand the heat in everyday real-life situations. The human body will naturally begin to fill its space as the years pass and the body ages. If the body is lacking muscle mass, and that lacking proper muscle mass is not correctly added to the body, then the body will naturally fill in with fat and become obese. Especially very early on in life, it can be much more difficult to tell a Body Type One apart from a Body Type Two. But as the human body ages, a Body Type Two will have higher tendencies to put on fat weight anywhere on the body where it is lacking muscle which in turn leads to obesity. It will also become harder and harder to keep that fat weight off as the years pass unless proper muscle/muscle mass is added to any areas of the body that are indeed lacking muscle mass. Ever wondered why so many A-list stars age so well (Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale, Rob Lowe, Elizabeth Hurley, George Clooney, Keanu Reeves, etc.) while most/the vast majority of average people do not? Genes play a huge role and Body Type Matters! Gnosis uses the example of a professional sports athlete (MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA, etc.) versus an average athlete participating in recreational sports; that there are very discernable and definable differences between the two and that those differences are due in large part to body type and muscle/muscle mass. Professional athletes have very little if any lack of muscle/muscle mass, as the vast majority are Body Type Ones. And the few pro athletes who are Body Type Twos see very little if any company from Body Type Threes or Fours, especially at the highest levels of being/the highest levels of professional athletic competition. Why? Because Body Type Matters! ==================================================== 1) Growing Evidence of the Importance of Muscle Mass and Why Body Type Matters Muscle Mass, Fluid Intelligence/Holding the Energy/Standing the Heat & Why Body Type Matters New emerging scientific evidence is shedding more light on the negative health effects of stomach/visceral fat, the enteric brain, and the “spare tire” that many people experience – a condition that is readily found in Body Type Two, Body Three, and Body Type Four bodies. Body types with the “spare tire” effect are proving to be less mentally sharp, less able to hold the energy or stand the heat in real-life situations, as evidenced by lack of fluid intelligence – reasoning, thinking and problem-solving skills – especially directly in the moment/while thinking on one’s feet. 2) Study Suggests That Higher Body Fat Could Make Brain Age Faster, But Muscle Protects Against It Cutting-edge scientific evidence offers a new perspective on the negative health effects that obesity can have on the brain. A correlation has been identified linking excess fat to reduced brain lifespan. Yet when proper muscle mass is present the data is showing that muscle protects the brain against expedited aging.
