Absolutely. Dietary fat is our friend for hormones!

That's a perfect summary, RecoveryRx. It seems the "fat phobia" of the past was truly detrimental to hormonal health. Glad to see more awareness now. Thanks for this valuable discussion!

Makes sense. Quality over quantity, always.

Focus on whole, unprocessed fats. It's pretty straightforward. If it comes from nature or has been minimally processed, it's generally good.

Exactly. Those hydrogenated oils are terrible for cell membrane integrity, which affects how hormones signal.

Definitely trans fats and excessive amounts of highly processed vegetable oils (soy, corn, canola) due to their inflammatory nature and high Omega-6 content, which can throw off the Omega-3 to Omega-6 balance.

Fantastic examples! PowerLifterPro, that's a common misconception. Restrictive low-fat diets can actually harm hormone production. What about the types of fats to *avoid* or limit?

I used to be afraid of fats for cutting, but now I ensure I get enough. It fuels my workouts and my hormones feel much better. Grass-fed butter and whole eggs are great too.
