Body Type Hype Podcast Episode #2 - Host and Fellow One Research lead scientific researcher Marc Nelson (Gen X) and fitness trainer co-host Turbo Ryer (Gen Z) discuss Body Type Science and The Four Body Types definitions. Based on genetics relative to the 26 vertebrae (7 Cervical, 12 Thoracic, 5 Lumbar, 1 Sacrum, 1 Coccyx) in relation to muscles/muscle mass development (or lack thereof) and skinny fat (cellulite, thin fat, loose skin, saggy skin, crepey skin, normal weight obesity), a Body Type One (BT1) has 0 underdeveloped vertebrae, a Body Type Two (BT2) 1-8, a Body Type Three (BT3) 9-17, and a Body Type Four (BT4) has 18-26 underdeveloped vertebrae. For countless people worldwide, once they are within their safe Body Mass Index (BMI) weight range, according to mainstream science and medical doctors they are a BT1 (as they always have been) with all muscles/mass fully developed, but instead they experience some form of skinny fat including normal weight obesity. Thus, for BT2, BT3, and BT4s, genetically where there is skinny fat there should be muscles/mass. 

The conversation then shifts to talk about how to approach dealing with skinny fat in terms of diet, exercise, and lifestyle. What are the best ways to reduce skinny fat as much as possible when, currently, there are no FDA-approved ways to get rid of cellulite or other forms of skinny fat? Both hosts remind listeners that the most important thing is to accept your genetics and scientific body type for what it is and that figuring out the best diet, exercise, and lifestyle for your specific body type to be as sustainably healthy as possible is paramount.
