Is Butter Better? The Truth About Fats

Is butter really better—or just louder on the internet? In this episode, we break down the truth about saturated fat, unsaturated fat, and why the chemistry of fat matters more than the latest nutrition trend.

You’ll get a quick mini medical-school lesson on how different fats behave in your body, why saturated fats can raise LDL cholesterol, and how unsaturated fats support heart health, lower inflammation, and help you absorb key vitamins.

We’ll talk real-life food choices, simple swaps that make a big difference, and why most Americans are eating plenty of protein but not nearly enough healthy fats.

If you’ve ever felt confused about butter, olive oil, nuts, seeds, yogurt, or anything in between—this episode brings the clarity.
