302. The Truth About Seed Oils: Fighting the Root of Chronic Disease, Low Energy & Advanced Aging with Dr. Cate Shanahan
Manage episode 430825324 series 2588350
Dr. Cate Shanahan’s groundbreaking work has inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live culture ferments, and seed-oil-free business empires. In this episode, I welcome Dr. Cate back on the podcast to chat about the latest research in her new book, Dark Calories: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Can Get It Back.
We covered Seed Oils 101 in our last conversation (episode 210); so here, we take it even deeper, talking about seed oil’s connection to cellular damage, uncontrollable hunger, blood sugar instability, and gut inflammation. We also address headlines stating that the ketogenic diet is just as good as a high-carbohydrate diet for managing diabetes.
Dr. Cate explains how to replete our cells and fuel our mitochondria, cut through the anti-inflammatory diet noise and learn what foods to prioritize to fight oxidative stress and get more energy to our cells. We also learn how to build meals that prevent energy dips and debunk myths about snacking and fasting.
By taking this science seriously and making informed dietary choices, we can improve our health and the health of our families. Our wellbeing is worth the effort!
