Description: Fat is one of the most misunderstood macronutrients, and when you're eating less on a GLP-1, choosing the right fats matters more than ever. In this episode, Ana sits down with Dr. Renee Korczak, PhD, RDN, to cut through the noise around dietary fats. They cover the four main types of fat, why unsaturated fats (MUFAs and PUFAs) should make up the bulk of what you eat, how to handle the protein-plus-saturated-fat challenge on a GLP-1, where omega-3s fit in, and how to approach the micronutrient deficiencies GLP-1 users are increasingly running into. They also tackle the beef tallow trend head-on and make a strong case for why the low-fat era of the 90s was both wrong and unforgettable. If you've been unsure whether to count fat, fear fat, or just eat the avocado, this episode gives you a practical, science-backed framework you can actually use.About Our Guest:Dr. Renee Korczak is an advanced practice registered dietitian nutritionist with a PhD in human nutrition from the University of Minnesota.
