Toxic Lean Culture: Why More Body Fat Might Be Healthier ...

What this episode covers

For years, women have been taught that leaner is always healthier. But what if that's not true (it's not)? In this episode, I unpack the science behind body fat distribution, visceral fat, thyroid health, fertility, metabolism, and why adequate body fat—especially around the hips, thighs, and glutes—may be protective rather than harmful. Heathar also explores the hidden costs of low-carb dieting, low-carb culture, and the relentless pursuit of leanness, and why a healthy female body was never designed to look like a fitness competition physique.
