The Brain Fat Fix
Date: 28 October 2025
Time: 1:00pm
The Right (And Wrong) Fats To Fuel Your Brain, Mood & Longevity
Are you feeding your brain the right fuel?
Brain fog, memory lapses, low mood, energy crashes – these aren’t just annoying symptoms. They’re signs your brain may not be getting the right fuel.
Your brain is 60% fat by dry weight. The wrong fats – trans fats, hydrogenated oils, cheap processed vegetable oils – accelerate brain shrinkage, drive low mood and increase dementia risk.
The right fats – omega-3s, phospholipids, cholesterol in balance – build brain cells, boost mood and help protect your memory for life.
But it is easy to get confused. Are vegetable oils bad? Which oils are highly processed? What about butter, coconut or olive oil?
In this webinar, Patrick Holford will clear up the myths and give you the science-based answers.
What You’ll Learn:
✔ Which fats build your brain – and why omega-3 DHA is vital for memory and mood
✔ The “dynamic duo” effect of omega-3 and B vitamins in slowing cognitive decline
✔ How the wrong fats (trans fats, excess omega-6, low cholesterol) damage your brain and shorten lifespan
✔ Which oils and fats are truly harmful – and which are essential, despite the headlines
✔ Practical food and supplement strategies to get the right fats into your daily diet
✔ Why balancing your brain fats is one of the 8 key domains of dementia prevention
This Webinar is For You If…
- You want more energy and sharper focus
- You’re concerned about memory loss or dementia risk
- You’re confused by conflicting messages on fats and oils
