Dr. Cate Shanahan Notable Quotes

“Our whole culture is basically designed to funnel processed food to our bodies and keep us away from real nutrition, or even understanding what real nutrition is.”
– Dr. Cate Shanahan

“The simplest way of defining metabolic health I would say is the ability to burn body fat between meals. If you can do that, then a lot of stuff is going right in your body.”
– Dr. Cate Shanahan

 

Episode Summary

So many products today that are marketed as “healthy” actually only lead us to deteriorated health. But it’s not our fault. We were taught that eating this kind of food or that kind of food was the way to go to keep ourselves healthy. Lucky for us, there are professionals who are working tirelessly to pull off the veil and show us what proper nutrition looks like.

In this episode of This Podcast Burns Fat, we’re talking to New York Best Selling Author, family physician, and biochemist Dr. Cate Shanahan to walk us through the ordeals our bodies have to go through when we fuel our bodies with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) found in seed oil.
