Dr. Sean O’Mara: Helping Everyone Achieve Their Highest Biological Potential

Before Dr. Sean O’Mara became a doctor, researcher, and expert in health optimization, he lived in Virginia, where he served as a police officer, discovering that he enjoyed working in traumatic situations. He went on to graduate from Penn State University with high honors, then later decided to receive his law degree from Villanova University School of Law. For some time after he graduated from law school, he served as a criminal prosecutor in the city of Philadelphia. [LinkedIn]

Determining that he had a passion for helping people, Sean decided to study medicine at Temple University. As he liked working in trauma and emergency situations, he decided to focus on emergency medicine to become an emergency medicine doctor.

He joined the U.S. Army Medical Corps as an emergency physician, later being chosen to treat several presidents, secretaries of state, and other government officials. Dr. O’Mara received the U.S. Army’s Outstanding Physician of the Year Award for his dedication and service.

As an ER physician, a patient approached him, admonishing him that he should consider cutting out carbohydrates and the many health benefits that go along with the paleo diet. At the time, Dr. O’Mara had not heard of that diet and became intrigued by the potential health benefits.

He was then struggling with some health issues of his own, suffering from an enlarged prostate, having difficulty sleeping at night due to restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, cardiovascular issues, and heartburn that resulted in lesions in the esophagus that had to be screened every three months to make sure that cancer hadn’t developed, and skin conditions such as eczema.

Curious, he decided to do more research on the paleo diet. He then stopped eating processed food and only ate meat and vegetables. After making these changes in his diet, he noticed that all of his health issues went away. However, despite these positive changes, he was angry that the issues were not resolved with medications or other medical procedures but rather were resolved with diet changes. This made him question his medical education, as this was not part of it.

Dr. O’Mara decided to move his family from Washington D.C. to Minneapolis, where he joined a research practice that studied visceral belly fat. This is not part of the material covered in medical school. However, Dr. O’Mara soon discovered that chronic disease is one of the largest issues in the country and that eating meat and vegetables is the best way to treat chronic disease, removing the harmful visceral fat in the body.

Other foods that are good for the body are fermented foods, as they are historically what our ancestors would have eaten. This includes kefir, kombucha, kimchi, blue cheese, other fermented cheese, and fermented beets. Fermented foods contain microbes, which are beneficial for our health.

It is also important for us to look for the healthiest source of meat, just as our ancestors would have done. This means that we need to purchase lean meat that is grass-fed with golden fat around the edges instead of white fat, as that is a sign of being fed grains.

After extensive research with MRI scans, meat that is marbled is the muscle that is inflamed in the animal. Cows that have been fed grain, corn, and even molasses have inflamed muscles as they have been fed a diet of processed foods. Processed foods result in inflammation in the body, as well as causing harmful visceral fat.

Dr. O’Mara strongly believes that getting MRI scans is the best way to discover your health status. It shows you how much visceral fat your body holds. Dr. O’Mara believes that these scans are the most effective way to persuade an individual to make drastic changes to their health, even more so than just seeing numbers on a screen. When a person can see the visceral fat inside of their body, it demonstrates their need for dietary changes.

With all of his research and developing plans for preventing and reversing chronic diseases, Dr. O’Mara was recognized on a national level and received a research grant from the National Science Foundation in 2016 for learning more about reversing chronic health issues.

His optimization techniques are designed to help people prevent and reverse chronic issues. They can help a person look and feel younger because it is treating the underlying cause and not just the symptoms.

Dr. Sean O’Mara is a non-profit doctor who is dedicated to putting all proceeds received back into research for natural ways to optimize health. As he has been in law enforcement and has also served in the military, he is especially dedicated to helping emergency first responders and the military in achieving better health.

He is the world’s first, and possibly only, health optimization physician. He has worked with several high-profile clients in his health optimization plans; however, they are available to everyone. His goal is to help everyone obtain their highest biological potential.
