FAT

Is fat actually bad for you, or have we been oversimplifying it for years? In this episode, we break down saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats, explain why your body actually needs fat, and cover the latest guidance on keeping saturated fat under 10% of daily calories. We also unpack a major 2026 review showing that lowering saturated fat may matter most for people at higher cardiovascular risk, especially when it’s replaced with polyunsaturated fat. This is a practical, science-based episode on why adequate fat matters and how to make smarter food choices without fearing fat
