In episode 121 of The Eat for Endurance Podcast, I’m joined by Natalie Robertello, MS RD CSSD of BeFueled Sports Nutrition. Natalie is a wealth of knowledge, and as an endurance athlete herself, she’s the perfect person to deep dive into the one macronutrient I haven't podcasted about yet...FAT!

We clear up myths, provide practical strategies, and cover everything else you need to know about how fat fits into everyday and performance nutrition.

Whether you’re still holding onto low-fat diet messaging, getting sucked into the current media surrounding seed oils, confused about saturated fats and cholesterol, or just unsure how much fat you need as an athlete, this episode will help you confidently include fat in a way that supports your performance, recovery, and overall health.

Natalie and I discuss:

  • Whether you really need to avoid eggs or limit higher fat dairy if you have high cholesterol
  • If seed oils are actually inflammatory (spoiler: they’re not)
  • The importance of omega-3 fats and when supplementation might help
  • Why going high fat low carb is not a great choice for most athletes
  • Why fat is essential for hormone health, nutrient absorption, satiety, meeting energy needs, and more
