Welcome back to another episode of the podcast! On this episode, I have a special guest Dr. Idrees Mughal on the show and we are going to be tackling one of the most persistent myths in nutrition: The Alleged Harmful Effect of Seed Oils.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why seed oils have been demonized online so much
• Do seed oils cause inflammation?
• Are they easily oxidized?
• Are they responsible for the obesity epidemic?
• Will cutting them prevent sunscreen?

And more.

I am so excited to welcome a very special guest to the show today Dr. Arti Thagudu. Dr. Thangudu is a triple board-certified physician and is a specialist in endocrinology, diabetes, and thyroid disease the founder of Complete Medicine, a direct care endocrinology practice based out of Texas, and Hey Healthy, a company providing accessible and supportive diabetes and hormonal care for self-insured businesses.

Dr. Thangudu is a wealth of information on a variety of topics, but I invited her on the show today to talk all about the thyroid because this is a hot topic that I often get questions about.

So today, we are going to discuss:

• What the thyroid is and what it does
• The different types of thyroid diseases and the signs and symptoms of each
• How to test for thyroid disease
• Available treatments for thyroid disease
• Red flags to look out for to avoid thyroid misinformation
• Nutrition and lifestyle strategies for improving thyroid health
