Dr Cate Shanahan is the best-selling author of  ‘The Fatburn Fix’ and ‘Deep Nutrition’ and a leading authority on nutrition and metabolism.
Her passion is helping people to feel their best through a healthy diet and she shares great content on the changes to our diet and why it’s worth looking at traditional diets to understand more about how and what a healthy human diet looks like.
In a world where often the information we access is not complete, this is a great opportunity to understand more about creating a starting point for a healthy human diet.
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Previously the shared foundations for a healthy diet were eating fresh food in season, working with processes in nature and using all parts of an animal.
Every organ has a different nutritional value
Seed oils are an industrial product and most people now have no or very little animal fats in their diet.
Globally people have moved from not just eating an inadequate diet to eating toxic fat calories.
Fats become the outer membranes of your cells and your mitochondria
If your parents and grandparents ate well then you can have genetic momentum
We have been discouraged from thinking about traditional diets because of the fats.
If you want a healthy gut biome get rid of seed oils in your diet and you will immediately start to notice the difference.
Not everyone’s metabolism is functioning properly.
The most common hunger experienced by people with weight issues is hypoglycaemic
because your body needs calories, this is dangerous hunger and needs to be resolved.
People come into the world with different genetic momentum.

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘There is so much missing from the information we are learning’
‘There is no disease that isn’t made worse by seed oils’
‘You can raise your kids to eat a healthy diet, we have so much power to change our children’s lives’
