Sugar doesn’t just affect your waistline; it can quietly affect your heart, too.

You’ll learn where “hidden” sugar shows up most often, which lab markers matter most, and simple real-food next steps so you can support heart health without extreme dieting.

Hi! I'm from Portugal, Europe. The main fat in our Mediterranean diet is olive oil. And a lot of studies talk about the advantages of olive oil. When you talked about good fats for memory, you mentioned coconut oil, but is coconut oil healthy, given that it is mostly saturated fat?
I know you said popcorn was a no no but what about skinny pop?
