Episode 1: Fats — The Most Misunderstood Nutrient

For decades, fat has been blamed for everything from weight gain to heart disease. But buckle up—there’s a plot twist. In this episode, we dig into a fascinating moment in American food history and how one influential voice helped shape the poor quality of health for millions… unknowingly.

We break down what fats actually are, why they matter for hormones, brain health, blood sugar, and energy, and how we ended up terrified of butter while giving ultra-processed foods a free pass. We cover saturated fats, unsaturated fats, trans fats, and how the low-fat craze quietly wrecked both our food supply and our metabolism.

In every episode, you’ll also get movement with Donelle Gregston, Pilates studio owner in Oklahoma, plus gardening tips and our favorite weekly share—an essential oil.
