I welcome one of the most knowledgeable straight-shooting leaders in the health world, Dr. Cate Shanahan. Please enjoy her previous shows, Setting Things Straight, The Four Pillars of Health, and How To Become Cancer Proof! The occasion of her return visit is the publication of her long-awaited new book, The Fatburn Fix.

In this show Cate will explain just why the nasty industrial seed oils (canola, soybean, corn, etc.), which are still very prevalent in most diets, thanks to widespread use in restaurants and in processed foods, will royally mess up the number one attribute for healthy living: Dr. Cate argues that this is your ability to burn fat. If you cannot burn fat efficiently, all bets are off when it comes to fasting, going keto, or even building fitness.

Dr. Cate also breaks down the four aspects of our fat burning systems: mitochondria, hormones, body fat, and the appetite center in the brain. You’ll also learn the name of the man Dr. Cate believes is most responsible for our disastrous departure from natural saturated fats into the disease caused by excess consumption of unhealthy polyunsaturated fats. This dietary transition that occurred in the 50s and 60s, and spread across the world, has caused millions of premature deaths and health destruction...yes, primarily thanks to one “liar pants” man who Cate calls out for us.

This is a fascinating discussion that will make you feel proactive about making some big changes in your lifestyle and diet, even if you already consider yourself to be a pretty healthy person, because as William Shewfelt said when he was on the show, “There’s always more you can do.” True, there is always more to learn about health, and there are always things you can try out and incorporate (or eliminate) in order to ensure you’re living as healthily as possible. If you’re someone who eats healthy food but still eats snacks throughout the course of a day, you’ll be inspired to change that habit once you hear Dr. Cate explain how snacking affects the body. If you’re someone who likes to get take out food from “healthy” restaurants, you’ll be compelled to check out what cooking oils they use, and will probably hold off from ordering from them for a while, unless you can get them to cook in avocado oil or butter! Enjoy the show, and empower yourself with the knowledge you’ll gain from some seriously fascinating insights about health and the food industry from a true expert, Dr. Cate Shanahan!

TIMESTAMPS:

Dr. Cate is going to talk about the four categories of the fat-burning system. [04:00]

The ability to burn body fat trumps all other factors like family history, genetics, or whether you smoke, or how fit you are. [06:33]

We screw up our natural ability to burn fat by eating refined industrial seed oils as a regular part of our American diet. [09:28]

When the evidence is so clear, they still sell industrial seed oils everywhere. [13:49]

You can make your own mayonnaise at home. [16:36]

What is wrong with canola oil comparing it with the healthier oils? [18:45]

If you still think saturated fat is unhealthy, you need to do some more research. [24:20]

We are hungry shortly after eating if we don’t get saturated fats. [30:10]

Metabolism is composed of mitochondria that produce energy, hormones that store and release energy, body fat itself and appetite regulator in the brain. [32:52]

The reason we have Type 2 Diabetes is from eating too much polyunsaturated fatty acids. (PUFA), not from too much carbs. [35:23]

The average person now is metabolically damaged, even children. [42:43]

Once you start building a healthy breakfast and a healthy lunch, you will notice within hours that your mitochondria are functioning better. [49:34]

Snacking doesn’t allow for the hunger clock to be reset properly.  [51:01]

The Fatburn Fix book explains why you want to focus on energy gain rather than on weight loss. [55:39]

You train your dog, or you train yourself to be hungry at certain times. Some people don’t realize when they are snacking! [59:14]

There is an urgent need to eliminate processed oils and reset the need to snack. [01:04:10]

How much fat is too much? [01:06:11]

Yo-yo dieting sets up most people for failure.  [01:08:40]
