Are you still afraid of eating fat? Do you wonder if eating meat, butter, or full-fat dairy will sabotage your health goals? You’re not alone — and it’s time to clear up the confusion. In this episode, I’m joined by nutrition expert Ilkay Basugur to debunk common fat myths and uncover what the science really says about fat, hormones, heart health, and midlife metabolism. If you’re over 40 and trying to eat better, this conversation is a must-listen!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What kinds of fats support your metabolism, brain, and hormones — and why they matter even more in midlife
• The major difference between animal fats and seed oils — and how one contributes to inflammation
• The surprising way your body stores fat (and why it’s not as simple as “eating fat makes you fat”)
• Why your hormones, insulin, and cravings are all affected by how you pair fats and carbs
• How traditional low-fat diets may actually cause the opposite of what they promised — and what to do instead

This episode will give you a fresh (and science-backed) perspective on fat and help you make empowered choices about what you put on your plate.
