The Fat Problem

Fat isn’t just stored calories—it’s a dynamic organ that controls hormones and chats with your brain, immune system, and metabolism.

Plus, they’ve launched a guilt-free Health Journal to help you build a science-backed routine that fits your life. Sources and deeper reading are available via their Google site.
