The power of healthy fats—no, they don’t make you fat

🥑 Healthy fats are essential for your hormones, brain function, and energy levels. Despite the old myth, eating fat doesn’t make you fat—the real culprits are ultra-processed foods, refined carbs, and added sugars.


🧪 Research shows that diets rich in healthy fats—like omega-3s from fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts—support brain health, regulate mood, reduce inflammation, and improve hormone function. Fats are also a critical building block for every cell in your body, including your brain and endocrine system.


🔧 Tip: Focus on healthy fat sources like avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, pasture-raised eggs, and fatty fish like salmon or sardines. Try to include some form of healthy fat with each meal to support satiety, blood sugar balance, and hormone health.
