54: MASTERCLASS with UDO ERASMUS - Godfather of Fats

"A supplement is not a substitute for a good foundation; it's an add-on." - Udo Erasmus

In the early 90s, I found a book that changed my life and career. It was Udo Erasmus' Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill, and it was a groundbreaking read that blew my mind. Udo's perspective on oils and fats went against all the mainstream recommendations for low-fat diets and butter substitutes and explored how damaged oils negatively impact our health. He has been a massive influence in my career and is one of the reasons why I am where I am today.

Today, I'm excited to have Udo on the podcast to explore the topic further and share why we should all be using oils made with health in mind. Udo Erasmus, Ph.D. Nutrition is one of North America's foremost authorities on dietary fats and oils' role in human health. Trained in biochemistry and genetics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Udo has been a guest on over 400 radio and television programs, and his advice on health and nutrition has appeared in newspapers and magazines worldwide.

In this conversation, Udo and I discuss how he became passionate about oils, the importance of healthy fats, the dangers of processed oils, the essential nature of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, why we need to rethink our approach to carbohydrates, the benefits of omega-3s on brain function and performance, and more. Enjoy the episode!
