Whether you’re transitioning to a more alkaline, detoxifying diet or simply trying to clean up your eating habits, understanding how fats work in the body is crucial for long-term success. I open up about my own intense journey healing from chronic illness, and how fats—both healthy and excessive—played a role at every stage. I explain how fats are chemically digested, why they’re more taxing on your body than carbohydrates, and how they affect your detoxification system, especially the lymphatic system. We talk about the science behind fat cravings, how fats are metabolized differently than simple sugars, and why the food industry capitalizes on your brain’s reaction to fat. I also go over healthy fat options like avocados, coconut, and even nuts and seeds, and how to strategically use these during a detox transition without derailing your progress. You’ll learn about:– The difference between fat and carbohydrate digestion– The way fats impact your detox and healing pace– Why fats are so addictive and how to manage cravings– My personal experience eating 6–10 avocados a day (!)– The pivotal moment when I transitioned from high fat to a more balanced intake– How to use fats without sabotaging your health goals– Why even healthy fats can slow your detoxification– The importance of the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio (to be covered in an upcoming episode) If you’ve ever wondered how much fat is too much—or if your current fat intake might be holding you back from optimal energy and healing—this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and practical tools for taking the next step. This is real-world advice based on my personal healing journey and thousands of hours of research and experimentation.
