Description

In this eye-opening episode of SIX Hats, Dr. Shami sits down with nutrition researcher and myth-buster Zoe Harcombe, PhD to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in modern nutrition: dietary fat. From the war on saturated fat to the cholesterol conundrum, Zoe explains how flawed science, politics, and fear-based messaging led to decades of confusion.

We dive into:

  • Why fat doesn’t make you fat
  • The truth about cholesterol and heart disease
  • How public health guidelines got it wrong
  • The role of real food in reclaiming health

Whether you’ve been told to avoid butter or fear the fat in eggs, this episode is your permission slip to rethink everything you’ve heard about fat.
