About this listen

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of dietary fat — breaking down the major misconceptions that have shaped our understanding for decades. We start by exposing the hidden dangers of polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) and how they disrupt mitochondrial function and long-term health. Then we tackle the myths around cholesterol, explaining why higher HDL isn’t always a good thing and what your bloodwork might really be telling you. Finally, we discuss the fats your body actually needs — highlighting the benefits of saturated and monounsaturated fats, and how they support energy production, hormonal balance, and cellular resilience. If you’ve ever been confused by mainstream fat advice, this episode is your reset.
