Monounsaturated fats don’t get much airtime.
Health advice tends to focus on cutting saturated fats or getting enough omega-3s - but hardly anyone talks about the fat we might need the most.
In this episode, we shine a light on monounsaturates: the overlooked fats found in olive oil, nuts, seeds, and avocados that could have a profound impact on your long-term health.
Drawing from large population studies - including one that followed nearly 200,000 people for over a decade - we explore how getting the right balance of fats may lower your risk of dying prematurely by more than 60%. That’s not a typo.
You’ll learn:
Why typical Western diets fall well short of the ideal monounsaturate target
The difference between plant- and animal-derived sources - and why it matters
The best oils for cooking (and the worst offenders hiding in your cupboard)
Easy, everyday ways to rebalance your fat intake without counting grams or calories
🔊 Hit play, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil on your lunch, and let’s rethink the fats that are quietly shaping our future health.
