What Does Fat Have To Do With Weight In Menopause? (The Best of the Menopause Movement Podcast Episode 95)

In the Menopause Movement’s courses, I talk a lot about how sugar's not good for us by any means, but I think it's nowhere near as toxic as seed oils. Not to mention that this gets to weight gain since it changes our cravings (it can make you want more sugar and carbohydrate-rich foods that raise blood sugar). But it doesn’t end there. Seed oils deplete your brain of energy. We talk about that and more in today’s second episode of The Best of The Menopause Movement Podcast with globally recognized nutrition and metabolism thought leader, New York Times bestselling author, and speaker, Dr. Cate Shanahan.
