Dr. Igor Zilberman has come on the show to shed light on a crucial topic and talk about how all fats are not created equal.  He goes into detail about the differences in fat and which fats we should eat more of and which ones we should take out of our diet.

Medium Chain Triglycerides, MCTs, have a very vital role in health and wellness, and they are often not consumed enough.  He educates us on why these fats are different and what we can do to improve our health by incorporating more of these fatty acids in our diet.  

The podcast starts by talking about cholesterol and different cholesterol levels.  MCTs play such a vital role in optimal cholesterol levels.  He breaks down all the fats so we can understand how the fats differ and the health benefits of certain fats.

Today we tackle the subject of SAMe.  SAMe is a nutrient that we make in our liver but also has documented benefits from supplementing it in the diet.  It stands for S-adenosyl methionine, and it plays a significant role in methylation in our body. 

It has been shown in research to help with various concerns including depression, osteoarthritis, pain syndromes, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and mood/attention concerns.

In this podcast, we talk about how SAMe works in the body, who would benefit from taking it and supplementation levels.

It also plays a role in methylation and genetic concerns like MTHFT and COMT.  In this podcast, we touch briefly about these concerns and how you can incorporate SAMe supplementation to help support the body and promote optimal health and wellness.
