Does Saturated Fat increase Cholesterol and damage your Liver?

In this episode, I do a deep dive into a study that finally tries to answer if saturated fat increases our cholesterol levels, independent of weight gain. Not only that, it also investigates the impact it has on the liver in terms of fatness - does it cause fatty liver disease?

A Light Review of Body Weight "Set Point" Theory

In this podcast, I brush across a variety of concepts and information related to the hypothesis of "body weight set point" that espouses the idea that the body sticks to roughly the same set point in body weight when we attempt to change our weight, the body fights against that imposed change - why? What mechanisms and reasons might there be? Is there a better theory?
