In this episode we discuss:
- Why increasing lipolysis through low-carb diets, cold plunges, fasting, and excess exercise is not necessary for fat loss
- How less lipolysis can lead to more fat loss
- The role of fat release and free fatty acids in diabetes, fatty liver disease, and obesity
- What to focus on instead of lipolysis to support healthy fat loss

4:08 – how fat gets released from our fat stores
8:40 – the baseline rate of fat release from our fat stores and the impact of degenerative states like cancer on lipolysis
12:09 – how fat is released from our fat stores in response to stressors like exercise
15:34 – the connection between lipolysis, metabolic syndrome, and fatty liver disease
23:29 – the research showing that decreasing lipolysis leads to less body fat (not more)
33:47 – whether we want to block hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) activity
37:47 – the research showing that increasing fat burning and lipolysis does not increase fat loss
44:25 – how to lose body fat without relying on stress-driven fat oxidation
49:56 – strategies for fat loss without increased lipolysis: are exercise, fasting, and cold plunges the solution?
