Hello, I'm Dr. Scott Watier.

And I'm Tommy Welling, and you're listening to the fasting for life podcast.

This podcast is about using fasting as a tool to regain your health,

achieve ultimate wellness, and live the life you truly deserve.

Each episode is a short conversation on a single topic with immediate actionable steps.

We cover everything from fat loss and health and wellness to the science of lifestyle design.

We started fasting for life because of how fasting has transformed our lives and we hope to share the tools that we have learned along the way. Hey everyone, welcome to the fasting for life podcast. My name is Dr. Scott Waddier I'm here as always with my good friend and colleague Tommy Welling good evening once again to you sir

Hey Scott how are you man I am hungry because we're about to talk about one of my past loves of my keto life tonight.

And we'll kind of dangle the cat a little bit here but we got a I think we're going to have

a really good conversation tonight around MCT oil and what that is how it can be beneficial but also how it can be kind of a trap and something that people

seem to not want to give up.

Yeah, we get a lot of questions about this and it seems like, especially since it's associated with coffee for a lot of people, it kind of becomes one of those things like, well, yeah, I need to have that. I can't really give it up. Don't ask me to.

But, you know, we've seen it come in direct conflict with some people's you know customized fasting schedules and and their fat loss goals and and everything related

Yeah, and the study that we that kind of opened up this rabbit hole,

we had gotten the question in many different forms,

like you had mentioned, while I'd start my day

with a bulletproof coffee, or I just died inside a little bit because that used to be part of my life and we'll talk about what those numbers actually mean and it's a sliding scale and the good and bad that comes with it, but you had sent a, you know, we had pulled up an article on a weight loss diet that includes MCT or medium chain triglyceride oils, you know, the oil, the main component of coconut oil, most, the main component of coconut oil is MCT oils or those shorter chain medium

chain chugas rides compared to olive oil and which are longer chain which are longer chain right so we just started having a conversation we're like man

We keep getting this question we really think this might be a good kind of kind of rabbit hole to go down.

So, and then we ended up at Bulletproof Coffee.

So we've kind of, you know, we'll kind of unpack this

for you all and hopefully come out with a good action step
