Fats: Friend or Foe | Episode 8


Listen Later

Spring or winter… one day it’s sunny, the next day it’s freezing — no wonder everyone’s getting sick! 🌦️

In this episode, we dive into one of the most misunderstood topics in nutrition: FATS.


For years, fats have been feared, avoided, and blamed for everything from weight gain to heart disease. But is that really true?


We break it all down in a simple, no-nonsense way:


  • What are good fats vs bad fats?
  • Which oils should you actually use in your kitchen?
  • Is deep frying really that bad?
  • What are trans fats, and why are they harmful?
  • Did we wrongly demonize saturated fats?



We also explore:

✔️ Why fats are essential for your body

✔️ How fats support hormones, brain health & energy

✔️ The role of fats in vitamin absorption (A, D, E, K)

✔️ Omega-3 vs Omega-6 — and why balance matters

✔️ How to choose and store oils properly (yes, packaging matters!)


Plus, we unpack the history behind how fats became “the villain” — from the 1950s diet-heart hypothesis to the rise of processed vegetable oils.


💡 Bottom line:

Don’t fear fats — just choose the right ones.
