Kelly talks to Dr. Cate Shanahan, author of   DARK CALORIES: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Get It Back, about both the massive prevalence and dangers of “vegetable oils” in our food. Dr. Cate provides shocking evidence that vegetable oils (cottonseed, corn, canola, soybean, sunflower, and safflower) are a public health disaster, wreaking havoc on our bodies by depleting antioxidants and causing the cellular damage that underlies virtually all chronic disease.She talks about the unrecognized link between vegetable oil and mental illness, infertility, low testosterone, chronic pain, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and many inflammatory conditions that torment and curtail our lives. Dr. Cate also unveils the lies one doctor told in the 50’s and 60’s that started this entire vegetable oil takeover in our society. She gives listeners valuable information about how to take their power back and make better choices for their bodies.  Book:  DARK CALORIES: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Get It Back Website: https://drcate.com Socials: @drcateshanahan Follow Velvet's Edge on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/velvetsedge/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Velvet's Edge Podcast is an invitation to explore the beautiful, messy truth that real growth is an inside job. Hosted by Kelly Henderson—a celebrity stylist and men's groomer who has learned firsthand that "looking good" on the outside only gets you so far—this podcast is a space for the conversations you don't always hear out loud. Life has a way of knocking us flat, and Kelly believes there is purpose in that pain. She uses her own journey of plot twists to show that true beauty is found by going inward. On some days, you'll hear deep dives with therapists, healers, and other people who have turned their pain into something beautiful. On other days, Kelly and Chip Dorsch laugh their way through the weird, messy "WTF is this life?" moments, because growth is easier when you and your bestie can laugh through it together. This podcast is for you if you've ever felt empty despite doing everything you were "supposed to" do. It's for you if you're stuck in a toxic relationship cycle and don't know how to get out. It's for you if you're in the middle of a total life plot twist and have no idea where to start. You aren't broken beyond repair. You are simply a human on a soul's journey, and even though we each have our own path, it's a lot easier when we have a little help from our friends.
