Episode notes

In one of the most life-altering conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast, Dr. Cate Shanahan returns to unpack the deep, deceptive forces shaping our food choices—and what it’s doing to our bodies. Drawing from her groundbreaking book The Fatburn Fix, Dr. Cate reveals how vegetable oils have quietly become the most damaging ingredient in our food supply, disrupting our metabolism, fueling chronic illness, and rewiring our hunger cues from childhood. Together, we expose the myths we’ve been fed for decades—from snacking culture to sweeteners with no calories—and offer real, doable steps to take back your health, energy, and sanity.

This episode is a masterclass in metabolic truth, challenging everything you’ve been taught about what’s “healthy” to eat. We talk about why most people don’t experience normal hunger anymore, how fat is actually an organ, and why fixing your energy is more important than chasing weight loss. You’ll walk away with a powerful sense of agency—and a new filter for reading nutrition labels, scrolling through diet trends, and making food choices that actually work. Listen in and join the frontlines of a food revolution.
