Balanced Bites Podcast Episode #286 – Healthy Fats & Cholesterol with Dr. Cate Shanahan

What you're saying about this episode:
erinholthealth: “As a long time listener & nutritionist, lately I've been thinking “hmmm I probably don't need to listen to this episode…no new information…I won't learn anything”. I always listen anyway, and I'm always wrong. Because I ALWAYS learn something!! This episode was killer, and some real 💡😳moments for me.”

rd_fitbiscuit: “Great episode! I even re-listened to certain parts to over again. Dr. Cate is very enjoyable to listen to and I like how she does not repeat the same style of information on different podcasts.”

Highlights from Instagram – Natural Foods Expo West

STARTING TOMORROW! I'll be posting all kinds of fun #Paleo and #glutenfree finds from #EXPOWEST this year using the hashtag 👉🏻#dianegoestoexpowest 👈🏻 . Follow along here on IG. I apologize in advance for how many pictures I may post of fun products, but if my inclination is accurate, I'm going to guess you all will welcome those posts! I may post some to my IG story as well if they're perhaps good but not my favorites. I'll try to only post my favorites here with the tag (which you can tap on now to see posts from last year when I really only had half a day to check out the expo!). . Expo West is the biggest natural products event in the country and it's gonna be nuts! . Comment below with some of your favorites or ones you've heard of that you'd love to try! And tell me which new things you've tried because I was talking about it (like @kasandrinos EVOO for example). Psyched to bring you more fun stuff soon! xo, D ## #dianegoestoexpowest #dianegoestoexpowest #dianegoestoexpowest #dianegoestoexpowest #expowest #expowest2017 #anaheim #healthy

No better way to start off our trip to Expo West than a few sips of espresso with the @lairdsuperfood coconut creamer – which is super legit, BTW. 🤙🏼☕️Looking forward to using it (especially for travel!) in the near future! . To see more of my favorites, make sure you follow my tag, #dianegoestoexpowest – I'll be posting a lot but right now I'm trying to take photos and be present and hold my posts for the breaks and the end of the day! . #lairdhamilton #expowest #expowest2017 @natprodexpo 📷cred @paleofoodiekitchen

Some of my personal favorites from today! Not all of these are new to me, but a bunch of them are as they're also new-to-market! I'll tag the brands on the pic. More to come… #dianegoestoexpowest #expowest #expowest2017 #paleo #primal . Update (since so many keep asking): no, this event is not open to the public. It's a trade show and folks like myself who blog/share our favorite products out to folks like you attend as press. Health practitioners may also attend, but a huge majority of attendees are in the natural products industry (buyers for our favorite grocery chains, small shop owners, etc.).
