Praise for Cate Shanahan, Deep Nutrition, and The Fatburn Fix "Dr.
Cate brought the seed oil issue front and center. Healthy fats
matter. So much so that I created an entire product line to swap
out bad fats with good."
--Mark Sisson, author of The Keto Reset Diet and founder of Primal
Kitchen foods "In Deep Nutrition, Dr. Cate delivered jaw-dropping
science exemplifying why real food is a sacred necessity for our
wellness. The Fatburn Fix argues convincingly that nothing is less
sacred, less authentic, than refined seed oils. The more we can get
them out of our family's food, the more we can feel better about
what we eat."
--Shawn Stevenson, international bestselling author of Sleep
Smarter and Eat Smarter "The ability to burn fat is essential to
our health. By highlighting the dangers of fueling with modern seed
oils, Dr. Cate brings clarity to the often chaotic and confusing
world of nutrition."
--Abel James, New York Times bestselling author and award-winning
host of Fat-Burning Man "I'm a big fan of turning your body into a
fat burner. Getting toxic oils out of your diet is a key beginning
step to turning your body into a fat burner. The Fatburn Fix is a
pivotal book for understanding how bad fats are just as dangerous
as sugar."
--Dr. Mindy Pelz, the Reset Doc "I am so thankful to Dr. Cate for
finally explaining (clearly!) the potential extent of
polyunsaturated fat damage, so readers and listeners can make
conscious food choices which work for them, not against them!"
--Melanie Avalon, host of The Melanie Avalon Biohacking Podcast and
The Intermittent Fasting Podcast "Dr. Cate Shanahan is a great
leader in the crusade against refined seed oils as the single most
destructive food to human health. She has forever changed the
conversation and put the pillars of flawed and dated conventional
stupidity on watch that they can't keep selling poison to the
well-meaning consumer trying to eat healthy. The Fatburn Fix does a
great job highlighting the important connection between ditching
processed oils and unlocking your potential to burn stored body
fat. She's also a skilled and dashing boat pilot."
--Brad Kearns, New York Times bestselling author, Get Over Yourself
podcast host, and Guinness World Record speedgolfer "As Dr. Cate
astutely points out in this excellent book, mainstream advice
regarding polyunsaturated fats is wrong and dangerous. If you care
about your health you need to read this book."
--Paul Saladino, MD, author of blockbuster The Carnivore Code "For
the past 16 years I have been cooking for the L.A. Lakers just the
way I grew up, only using wholesome nutritious ingredients. Dr.
Cate's research further emphasizes the importance of continuing to
eat healthy ingredients and natural fats. Today, I am glad I can
use that knowledge and bring it to the NBA."
--Sandra Padilla, private chef to the stars and trusted by the L.A.
Lakers "[The Fatburn Fix] is amazing. Thank you, Dr. Cate! I'm a
Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and I know my stuff.
This is the extra layer of knowledge I didn't know I needed. Well
done!"
--Jennifer Dillman, ND, FNTP "Dr. Cate dismantles the lie that seed
oils are healthy, which may the biggest lie about nutrition and
health because it's so insidious."
--Ken D Berry, MD, author of Lies My Doctor Told Me
"Dr. Cate alerts us to the harms of seed oils and she's convincing
because she knows the chemistry better than anyone."
-- Dr. Drew Pinskey, MD, globally recognized internal medicine and
addiction medicine specialist, media personality, and New York
Times bestselling author
"I use Deep Nutrition as my textbook for my Nutrition and Public
Health course at Siena College. The word is out and I even have
students that have graduated coming back to sit in on the
class."
--Bridgit Goldman, senior teaching assistant professor of biology,
Siena College
"Dr. Cate has had the single greatest impact on how we talk to
people about fueling for both performance or durability. While we
all are a little unique, the foundational principles of human
nutrition are immutable. If you are looking to create a more
durable, resilient body, no one is better at communicating
nutritional truth than Dr. Cate."
--Dr. Kelly Starrett, physiotherapist coach and New York Times and
Wall Street Journal bestselling author "In the must-read, The
Fatburn Fix, Cate Shanahan provides a concrete, evidence-based
approach for people to approach metabolism and weight loss. This is
a great successor to her excellent book, Deep Nutrition."
--Dr. Tro Kalayjian, medical director of Dr. Tro's Weight Loss and
Primary Care
"Dr. Shanahan has had a significant impact on my practice of
medicine. I am known as a Low Carb Doctor, but I never really
appreciated the negative effects of processed seed oils on the
health of my patients. I highly recommend The Fatburn Fix to my
patients and have a loaner copy in my waiting room. It is amazing
how quickly blood sugars and overall health improves with cutting
se ed oils. It is not just about the carbs!"
--Dr. Brian Lenkzes, CEO of LowCarbMD San Diego, co-host of Low
Carb MD Podcast and host of Life's Best Medicine Podcast "Dr. Cate
reordered my diet when I was with the L.A. Lakers, and the
benefits, for me personally, were felt immediately and have served
me to this day. I've come to take real food so seriously I started
a small family farm. I know of no M.D./nutritionist more respected
in the sports world than Dr. Cate Shanahan."
--Chris Kaman, former N.B.A. player
