The Myths of Healthy Fats with Matt Blackburn
Listen now
Description
Ok, so what is healthy fat? We moved away from trans fats like margarine and cooking oils, but just because a fat is not a trans fat, does not mean it is healthy.   Someone who has moved deep into the study of fats, especially PolyUnsaturated Fats or PUFAs, is Matt Blackburn.  Matt is a health and longevity researcher and founder of the CLF Protocol, looking at what he believes to be the root cause of disease, calcification, lipofuscin and fibrosis.  One of the huge things his program deals with, of course, is an indepth look at PolyUnsaturated Fatty Acids: what they are, what foods they are in - they are actually in a lot of “health foods” - how to balance them and how to detox from them. So today we’re going to be talking about all the different fats and how The Body Never Lies to us about fat for optimal metabolism and health.   In this episode, Matt and I discuss: Saturated Fats  Monounsaturated Fats PUFA Essential Fatty Acids EFAs Omega 3 and Omega 6 Oxygen  Iron Copper Oxidative Stress  Free Radical damage NAFD and liver function  The importance of sugar and carbohydrates  How To detox from PUFA  Emotional connections  Coffee  PUFA and sunlight  Vitamin E   Matt hangs out on Instagram mostly as @mattblackburn but you can find out more about his protocol, Mitolife Academy and Mitolife supplements at www.matt-blackburn.com And don’t forget to subscribe to his podcast Mito Life Radio where you’ll hear some familiar friends, but also some super interesting guests.
