If you grew up in the 80's and 90's like me, then you've probably been conditioned to believe that FAT is BAD.

And honestly, I think that's a hard bias to overcome.

Because for YEARS, we were told that fat was bad for us, that it clogged our arteries and made us gain weight, that it was the root cause of all of our health problems.

And as a result, food manufacturers went out of their way to create low-fat and fat-free versions of all of our favorite foods, and we all went along with it, believing that we were making healthier choices.

But here's the thing: it turns out that was all a bunch of nonsense.

In fact, if you've been listening to this podcast for any amount of time, then you've probably heard me talk about why fat is actually GOOD for you.

You've heard me talk about how it's our body's preferred source of fuel, and it's what helps to metabolize and stabilize your hormones, and how eating more healthy fats and fewer processed carbohydrates can help you lose weight and improve your overall health in SO many ways.

But if that's true, then which fats ARE good for you?

How do you know which ones to include in your diet and which ones to avoid? And how do you know which fats are actually going to help balance your hormones the way you need them to?

That's exactly what we're going to be diving into in today's episode—the ultimate guide to hormone-friendly healthy fats, and what you need to know about how they affect your health.

Today is the day!

After many months of blood, sweat & tears—along with a lot of collaboration with you, our Health Rebel community—I’m SO excited to finally be able to tell you that our brand new Thinlicious App is ready for you.

And I’m not even kidding when I tell you this is about to become the go-to resource for any woman over 40 who is serious about losing weight and transforming your health.

So here's a fun fact for you: when it comes to losing weight, your body doesn't actually care about your goals.

It doesn't care what size jeans you want to fit into, or what the number on the scale says, or whether or not you're finally ready to wear a bikini this summer.

But your body does have a goal.

And that goal, more than anything else, is to SURVIVE.

Your body's primary purpose is SELF-PRESERVATION.

To keep your heart pumping and your brain working and your blood flowing through your veins.

And that might not seem all that relevant, but that's actually why, for so many of us, losing weight feels like an uphill battle. It's not because we're weak, or because we don't have enough willpower, or because we're just not trying hard enough.

It's because our bodies are literally working against us.

They're fighting to hold onto every last ounce of fat, and they're driving us to consume more and more calories to keep us alive.

We're basically fighting an invisible war against our own biology, and most of us don't even realize it.

So today, we're going to do something about that.

We're going to dive deep into the science of weight loss so that you can fully understand what's REALLY happening in your body when you try to lose weight, which will probably ALSO help you understand why so much of what you've tried—and all the expert advice you've always heard—hasn't worked.

It's going to be fun, and I think really eye-opening. So get ready. Because once you see the light, you can't unsee it.
