The Fat Problem dives into why body fat is far more than just stored energy—it’s a complex, hormone-producing organ that constantly chats with your brain, immune system, and metabolism. In healthy amounts it’s essential, but when you pack on too much, it sparks inflammation, throws hormones out of whack, boosts your risk for almost every major disease, and can shave years off your lifespan.
Kurzgesagt’s video unpacks what fat really does, when it turns dangerous, and whether you can reverse the damage caused by excess. (Plus, it’s sponsored by Brilliant, with extra deep-dives and a brand-new Health Journal to help you build science-backed, guilt-free routines.)
