Description:

Eating more fat will make you less fat? Really?? 

In this episode, I break down everything that you need to know about fats. In today's society, we have a major misunderstanding about certain macronutrients and certain foods and how they really interact in our body. One of the elements of food that gets thrown under the bus is fat content. People group "all fats as bad", and in the process eliminate some key nutrients that can really help feed the brain and the body. In order to repair our relationship with food, it's super important that we work on our relationship with fats first.
