#109: Seed Oils, Saturated Fat, and the Biggest Nutrition Lie We’ve Been Told With Brian Sanders

Big Food, Bad Science, and the Metabolic Health Crisis No One Wants to Talk AboutWhat if the biggest threats to our health aren’t a lack of discipline or motivation—but decades of flawed science, industry influence, and nutrition dogma?In this eye-opening episode of Beyond The Pills, Josh Rimany sits down with Brian Sanders, health researcher, filmmaker, and founder of Sapien.org, for a bold conversation that challenges everything we’ve been told about food, fat, and human health.Brian is best known as the creator of the documentary Food Lies, where he investigates the origins of modern nutrition guidelines and exposes how weak science, corporate interests, and misinformation helped shape what we eat—and why chronic disease, obesity, and metabolic dysfunction are now widespread. His work pulls back the curtain on how seed oils, processed foods, and misguided dietary advice became normalized despite mounting evidence of harm.Through Sapien.org, Brian explores ancestral nutrition, metabolic health, circadian biology, and lifestyle design—helping people reconnect with the evolutionary principles that allowed humans to thrive for thousands of years. In this conversation, he and Josh examine how far modern life has drifted from our biological design, and why returning to real food and foundational lifestyle practices may be the key to restoring health.Together, they explore:The real science behind seed oils, saturated fat, and cholesterolHow nutrition research can be biased, misinterpreted, or driven by industryWhy metabolic disease continues to rise despite decades of “healthy” guidelinesThe disconnect between ancestral diets and modern food systemsHow aligning with our evolutionary biology can support long-term healthThis episode goes beyond trends, prescriptions, and quick fixes to address the root causes of chronic illness. If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting nutrition advice or questioned mainstream health narratives, this conversation will give you the clarity and courage to think differently.This is not medical advice. It’s an invitation to question what you’ve been taught, reclaim personal responsibility, and pursue health beyond the pills.💊 Join The Beyond The Pills Community Today, Unlock True Healing Tomorrow! https://askjosh.gobeyondthepills.com/
