Summary

266: If you struggle with anemia, leaky gut, low red blood cells, high LDL cholesterol, brain fog, fatigue—or if you bruise easily—this episode is for you. There’s a special fat that’s been shown to support all of these issues. It’s called C15:0, and it’s the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years! Stephanie joins me today for an eye-opening conversation about this unique fat—an odd-chain saturated fatty acid that’s changing the game. She breaks down the difference between odd-chain and even-chain saturated fats and clears up the common misconception that all saturated fats are bad news. (Spoiler: they’re not.) We also dive into how C15:0 could benefit pregnant mothers and developing babies, and why there's growing interest in adding it to infant formula. So, what foods actually contain C15:0? Are there any that block its absorption? And why are so many of us deficient in it to begin with? If you’re curious whether you’re lacking this essential fat, good news—there are tests for that. And within just 3 to 6 months of supplementing with Fatty15 (a C15:0 supplement), people are reporting some incredible results. We definitely get a little nerdy in this episode—and I loved every minute of it!
