From Plate to Plaque Do You Know the Journey Fat Takes

from The Habit Healers · host Laurie Marbas, MD, MBA

If I told you your blood could look like a strawberry milkshake, you might not believe me—but I’ve seen it. In this episode, I take you inside the journey your fat takes after every meal, from your plate to your bloodstream, and sometimes, all the way to your arteries.I’ll show you how your body’s “delivery trucks” move fat around, what happens when your storage closets overflow, and why even people who look healthy on the outside can still be at risk on the inside. You’ll hear how sugar, carbs, alcohol, and even genetics can turn a smooth-running system into a traffic jam—and how simple changes like walking after meals or eating more fiber can make a real difference.Join me as I break down the science in plain language and share how to keep your internal highways clear, your heart healthy, and your energy steady. Because understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface is the first step to taking control of your health.Link to Dr. Marbas Substack: https://drlauriemarbas.substack.com/p/from-plate-to-plaque-do-you-knowA Big Thank You To Our Sponsor: If you want the best supplement to help you on your plant-based journey, you have to try Complement: https://lovecomplement.com/?aff=62 Get full access to The Habit Healers at drlauriemarbas.substack.com/subscribe
