In this episode of Functional Medicine Bite Sized, I sat down with Kayla Butera, International Educator for Body Bio, to explore the often-misunderstood world of fats, fatty acids, and targeted nutraceuticals—without getting overwhelmingly technical.
There was lot's to cover and some of they key points we discussed were:
- Why both linoleic acid (omega‑6) and ALA (omega‑3) are essential
- How fatty acid quality, oxidation, and processing affect mitochondrial and cardiovascular health
- What “liposomal” should mean, why it’s often misused, and when liposomal delivery is worth the extra cost
- Why short‑chain fatty acid butyrate is a key “gift” from a healthy microbiome
