Summary

What do you think of when you hear the term body fat? If you’re like most Americans, you probably think of body fat as a cosmetic issue. But the truth is, our body fat is a critical part in our health, including hormone regulation, immune function, and metabolic processes.  In our chronically overweight society, many people have an overabundance of body fat—but struggle to actually burn it off. There’s a huge misconception that this is a willpower deficiency, but in reality, a metabolic problem is a serious biochemical imbalance. Luckily, it’s one that can be corrected with a few simple and straightforward shifts.  In her new book, The Fatburn Fix, Dr. Cate Shanahan shares how an overabundance of vegetable oils in the Standard American Diet leads to the inability to burn body fat. On this episode of the Model Health Show, Dr. Cate is back to share about the biochemistry of highly refined oils, how the human metabolism runs most efficiently, and how simple swaps in your diet can make you a better fat burner. Enjoy!   In this episode you’ll discover: What the best exercise you can do is.   How to make your body crave exercise.  Why body fat is the number one determinant of our health.  How your body’s metabolism works. Why the idea of metabolism speed is a misconception.  How the makeup of human body fat has changed over time.  The problem with highly refined seed oils.   What PUFAs are.  Why the percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acid in your body fat matters.  The three biggest food sources of processed oils.  How inflammation and body fat are interconnected.  The link between vegetable oils and COVID-19 effects.  Why canola oil is more common than olive oil. How your body fat controls your temperament. The two different types of sugar addiction.  How processed oils are made.  Items mentioned in this episode include: Onnit.com/model -- Get your optimal health & performance supplements at 10% off!
