In this episode of The Goodness Lover Podcast, I sat down (virtually) with Sarah and Matt to discuss dietary fats and their impact on health. This is an area of much confusion, and is further muddied by the extreme high fat (keto) and low fat diet tribes, so I hope this episode brings some clarity to the topic.
Topics include:
- My personal health journey
- The differences between carbs, protein, and fats
- Whether or not coconut oil is a “healthy fat”
- What is LDL-cholesterol and why is it considered “bad” cholesterol?
- Does dietary cholesterol matter?
- High fat plant-based diets.
- Are oils healthy?
- Where to get omega-3s on a vegan diet.
