8 Shocking Benefits of Saturated Fat and Who Should Avoid It

In this episode, Dr. Jockers explores the shocking truth about saturated fat—how it can actually lower inflammation, protect your cells, and even reduce your risk of stroke. You’ll learn how the right fats support hormone signaling, boost energy, and promote healthy aging.

You’ll discover the brain-enhancing power of medium-chain fats that fuel memory, mood, and cognition. These unique fats also spark mitochondrial growth and strengthen immune defenses in ways most people never expect.

But not everyone benefits the same. Dr. Jockers explains who should be cautious with saturated fat, how genetics like the APOE4 gene and sluggish bile flow come into play, and what it means for your long-term health.
