In todays episode, I had the incredible honour to have Simon Hill back on the podcast and honestly, this chat was exactly what we all needed to hear.

Simon breaks down the science better than anyone I know to debunk myths and bring you informed, easy to digest information to cut through alll of the confusion out there!

If you've been wondering if butter and coconut oil are heart-healthy or harmful, this episode is for you as  Simon and I delve into the latest research on fats, cholesterol and the truths behind popular diet trends.

I get asked about this daily!

We chat all about:

• The real science behind what cholesterol actually does in your body
• Why getting an ApoB test is SO much better than your standard cholesterol test
• The genetic lottery - why some people can eat eggs daily and be totally fine whilst others can't
• How different saturated fats affect your body differently (butter vs yoghurt vs coconut oil)
• Why fibre is cholesterol's best friend
• How to make tweaks to a lower carb lifestyle if you're worried about cholesterol - without dramatic overhauls
• Why you absolutely don't need to cut butter or coconut oil out completely
• The truth behind 'refueling with carbs' after a workout

The biggest takeaway? Know YOUR body, and remember that small tweaks often work better than dramatic changes!
