It's Time to Lose the Fear About Fat!

I cannot preach this any louder! 🗣 Please rethink your fat consumption and read these awesome fat facts. The conventional "normal" levels on a lipid test are...well...BS!

P.S. From a Functional Medicine lens, a healthy cholesterol level is anywhere between 180-220 🥰
FAT FEAR (no more)...very important repost from @realfoodology about FAT and losing your fear of consuming high quality fats in personal moderation...

Check it out:👇⁠
- The low fat movement was one of the worst fads humanity has ever participated in.⁠
- Your brain is made up of fat & runs on fat. It needs fat to function at optimal levels!⁠
- Alzheimer’s is on the rise and many experts believe this is a result of fat deprivation and higher consumption of sugar from the 80’s/ 90’s food trend.⁠
- When you take fat from food it makes food bland, so fat free foods was are pumped full of sugar to make up for the taste loss.⁠
- More fat, less sugar for a healthy brain!!

Problems Associated with Reduced Cholesterol:
- 200% increase in cerebrovascular accidents
- 300% increase in liver cancer
- 200% increase in lung disease
- 200% increase in depression and suicides
- 200% increase in addictive behavior
- Reduced cholesterol levels are associated with poor steroid hormone production (e.g. cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone)
- Studies consistently show higher levels of cholesterol (between 180-220) are very protective for hormone support.

Ok...getting off my soap box now 🤗
