Podcasts about fat the science behind

In this podcast Fred Herbert and Tracy Herbert share an interview with Dr. Sylvia Tara. Dr. Tara holds a PhD in biochemistry from the University of California at San Diego and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Her book titled "The Secret Life of Fat: The Science Behind the Body's Least Understood Organ and What It Means for You" goes into detail on how we can finally control our fat by having an understanding of how it works. Dr. Tara talks about how clever your fat is, fat has a mind of its own, it can control itself and it can control your body. Once you figure out what fat is and how clever it is, it changes your whole attitude on how to go about losing fat.

This may sounds crazy but fat is an essential component of our bodies and, in fact, could be considered an organ. Yes, having too much fat could be extremely bad for you and cause a number of chronic diseases, but your body does need some fat to control many essential functions. Dr. Sylvia Tara has her PhD in Biochemistry and wanted to know why it could be so difficult to eliminate unwanted fat from the body; the result was her book: The Secret Life of Fat: The Science Behind the Body's Least Understood Organ, and What it Means for You!  On this episode of All About Fitness, Dr. Tara discusses her research into fat, what she learned and, most importantly, what it means for your health.

Sylvia Tara PhD is a biochemist who has worked at the world's largest biotech companies. Yet the thing that compelled her to the research of the past 5 years culminating in her new book was her own struggle with weight and particularly with 'fat'. She realized that with her science knowledge she had the tools to study 'fat', the reasons that we all are affected differently by it. Her book: The Secret Life of Fat: The Science Behind the Body's Least-understood Organ And What it Means For You" is a great and empowering tool, because knowledge is power. Soon Dr. Tara will have an online study to guide those wanting to confront the 'fat' issue in a constructive way. www.thesecretlifeoffat.com
