I cannot wait for you to hear today’s episode all about FAT! It is such a huge misconception that fat makes you fat so we are debunking that!
We literally NEED fat to live optimally.
Our BRAIN is fat. Our liver uses fat to produce cholesterol which is a building block for sex hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
It helps balance our blood sugar.
It nourishes our gut.
It’s anti inflammatory.
Women have 10% more body fat than men because WE GROW HUMANS. Our bodies are always trying to get pregnant & if you don’t have enough body fat, it’s not going to think you can properly nourish a fetus during pregnancy & sustain that baby once they’re born.
This is one of the main reasons I didn’t have a period for so long.
IT WILL NOT MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT.
Fat helps you feel satiated so you don’t over eat and it curbs cravings.
Healthy fat helps you absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A,D,E & K which are critical for hormone regulation & fertility.
