In this week’s episode of Coaches Corner, Coaches Alex, Kristian, and Josh dive headfirst into one of the most confusing (and controversial) conversations in nutrition: fats, hormones, and the real story behind seed oils.

If you’ve been told to avoid fat, fear cholesterol, or switch everything to vegetable oil—this episode is your nutritional reality check.

We unpack:

• The 4 major types of dietary fats—what they are, what they do, and how they impact your health

• How cholesterol and fat intake directly influence your testosterone, estrogen, thyroid, and cortisol levels

• The misunderstood role of seed oils—are they harmful, helpful, or just overhyped?

• Why low-fat diets from the 80s and 90s may have tanked your hormones and crushed your metabolism

• The optimal fat strategy for hormone production, energy, recovery, and long-term vitality

• Plus, a rapid-fire listener Q&A answering your top fat-related questions

Whether you're keto-curious, battling brain fog, or just trying to eat for performance—this episode is packed with science, strategy, and real talk to help you fuel smarter and live stronger.
