Are you unsatisfied with your care inside the medical system?
You’ve tried it their way. Taken the tests, seen the specialists, used their medications—but you’re still dealing with symptoms. Maybe they’ve told you that your problem is genetic. Or that medical science hasn’t discovered the root cause. But you’re not satisfied with those explanations.
Does any of this sound like you?
- You’ve got a medical problem, but the medical system can’t explain why.
- The medications you’re taking don’t treat the root cause of the problem, and nothing they’ve offered does.
- You asked if there’s a natural way to deal with your problem, and your doctor looks at you like you’re crazy.
- You’re not sure if you trust the information you read online. Some of it seems salesy. Some of it is contradictory.
- You just want to have the chance to speak with someone you trust. Someone who will finally tell you the real truth.
Their explanations don’t make sense.
Their solutions don’t work.
You deserve an answer.

My Story Is Your Story
I’d been a doctor for nearly a decade
I went through classic medical education, trained by brilliant diagnosticians
I thought I knew everything there was to know
And I went without a diagnosis for years.
I know what it feels like when the medical system fails. I saw the specialists. I did the tests. I even had surgery. Nothing helped. Alternative ideas and supplements I tried turned out to be worthless.
It was my husband who asked the question that sent me on a journey of discovery: “What if there’s more to know about nutrition than what you learned in medical school?”
When I started digging for real answers, what I found was astounding. The supposedly “healthy” foods I’d been eating had hijacked my metabolism and were fueling relentless inflammation that made chronic illness not just likely, but inevitable.
When I changed my diet, I didn’t just get my life back. I felt like every part of my body just received an upgrade.
Now I want to bring this healing method to you.
Most chronic health problems stem from THREE dietary factors that medical science misunderstands:
Seed Oils | Refined Carbs | Refined Proteins
Miseducation around processed foods leads to METABOLIC DISRUPTION, INFLAMMATION, AND DEGENERATION, which promote every kind of illness there is. What exact problem you get depends on factors that make you unique. But the solution is the same. Nature makes it simple: a healthy diet is good for every part of your body and fixes the problem at the root.
Introducing The Energy First Approach™
The first four weeks teach you how eating the Big Three affects your unique body so you know what to expect when you stop. The last four weeks will teach you exactly what to eat and how to make change sustainable.
You’ll build new habits in small, simple steps that anyone can take.
Participants say learning how bad food affects them in weeks 1-4 keeps them motivated to stay on track with what they learn to do in weeks 5-8.
Week 1
Expose the Problem
Learn to identify and avoid 3 highly refined, processed ingredients that make metabolic health impossible.
Week 2
Cellular Energy 101
Learn to gauge your brain function so you can plan your meals to optimize your energy.
Week 3
Understanding Inflammation
Learn how the Big 3 cause inflammation and visceral (belly) fat — then take an Inflammation X-ray to find out where it’s showing up in your daily life.
Week 4
Mastering Your Biomarkers
Six biomarkers tell you about the state of your metabolism, and most doctors don’t even order one of them. Learn what they are and where to get them on your own.
Week 5
Choose Your Energizing Breakfast
One powerful daily change that stabilizes energy, mood, and focus. Many notice results on day one.
Week 6
Lunch: Unwrap The Truth
The lunch you loved a year ago isn’t the lunch you’re buying today — food companies quietly swap in cheaper ingredients while keeping the label the same. Learn to spot it, and make your own convenient, satisfying lunches.
Week 7
Redirect Cravings into Motivation
They’ve trained you to crave Doritos. But you can use the same kinds of flavor tricks to start craving healthy meals. Make your appetite work for you, not against you.
Week 8
The Infinite Meal Solution
Dr. Cate’s simple six-step system that automates healthy eating so that even if you fall off the wagon, you can get back on the right path.
What This Program Does For You
Just a sample of the benefits you get by stopping the METABOLIC DISRUPTION, INFLAMMATION, AND DEGENERATION driven by the Big Three
Reverse the metabolic damage driving brain fog, hot flashes, stress, anxiety, & more
Move through your day free from nagging hunger, cravings, or mental “food noise”
Lower your nighttime cortisol and stress hormones so you can sleep better.
Eat confidently—no tracking, obsessing, or second-guessing every choice
Avoid hidden ingredients that cause bloating & kill beneficial microbes
Fully understand your lab results—because there’s a good chance your doctor doesn’t.
Stop the inflammation that drives pain, allergies, and autoimmune diseases
Liberate your appetite too tart living free from the control of corporate food scientists.
Stop the degeneration that causes dementia, Parkinson’s, MS, & accellerates aging
Feel the confidence of knowing that you have the tools to stay on track.
What do course graduates say?
Survey responses and spontaneous testimonials mostly from the first Masterclass (This will be the second)
“This course has met my expectations and then some. I now understand the science behind inflammation, which makes sense to me. I also understand why snacking is not good for me. When you said, “there are no healthy snacks”, I was taken aback. Wow, now I understand. Before this course, I heard the information about the “hateful eight,” yet I had no idea of the science behind what they do to my body. Seeing your diagrams has motivated me to be vigilant.
I am very pleased that I chose to take this course.”
Jean S
2026 Masterclass Graduate
“Thank you so much for teaching this wonderful class. It has helped me tremendously. You have such a wealth of knowledge, and I love your upbeat personality and enthusiasm and passion for helping people. You have inspired me and motivated me more than anyone else ever has to eat better and to work on improving my metabolism and overall health. I am applying everything that I have learned in this course.
Thanks a million for your recipe e-book. I love it so much, and it is just what I needed.”
Kathy Bridges
2026 Masterclass Graduate
“My cravings have really been reduced since I started following the “no seed oils” and cutting back on sugars. I did not realize how much sugar I was getting from fruits. I have greatly reduced my fruit consumption now that I am getting a good amount of sugars from organic grass fed whole milk and yogurt.
I am so pleased with your class, it is so enjoyable and such a wealth of information. Love the menu ideas, this is so helpful!”
Nancy V.
2026 Masterclass Graduate
“As soon as I started, my energy level improved. I was able to double the amount of exercise I do and with the reduced amount of calories from no snacking, weight loss was easier than any other thing I’ve tried. It will be an ongoing journey, but feeling better, looking better and losing weight is so motivating that it makes it easy.”
Gina T
2026 Masterclass Graduate
“I learned so much and really appreciate the time and effort you put into making the information both understandable and practical.
I’ve purchased all four of your books over the past year, and they’ve completely changed the way I think about nutrition and food. It was a real pleasure to hear you speak and expand on many of those ideas.
I truly enjoyed the class and look forward to continuing to learn from you!”
Sue K.
2026 Masterclass Graduate
“I especially like the tips on cooking fresh vegetables. I’ve been following you and your advice from The Fatburn Fix since 2020, but always struggled with fixing tasty sides. The eBook is an absolute gem!”
Laura W.
2026 Masterclass Graduate
“For over 40 years, I fought hypoglycemia [the wrong way]. For the first time, I have lost fat around my stomach, reached my goal weight, and my energy continues to improve.”

“My sleep and moods have improved and I feel more in control of my eating on a daily basis”
Amy P.
2026 Masterclass Graduate
“I’ve had 3 children in 4 years, and felt constantly drained. The changes I made after taking Dr. Cate’s course have made me feel so much better. I have less bloating, more mental clarity, I’m sleeping better. I’m also finding I have more energy to be a better, more present mom for my kids.”
Samantha V.
2026 Masterclass Graduate
“The Coaching Q&A sessions and the encouraging e-mails from you were very, very helpful. And the recipes for quick, easy, and simple meals were also extremely helpful and will continue to be.”

“Taking this course has been the highlight of my year!
Even though I have read every book, article, etc, this course was still a valuable experience for me. The ebook is incredible and I’ve tried several new, simple and delicious recipes from it. I loved the education about the labs and how easy you made it to get them. All of the downloadable resources that you shared with us are full of valuable information that I have referenced several times already.”

“The course was well thought out and put together, easy to follow along with. In the first few weeks I was traveling and had to watch the videos, and while I enjoyed the interaction of live, watching was perfectly fine. I am currently rewatching all of the videos and am picking up things that I initially missed, thank you for allowing continued access to them. I loved seeing and hearing from others who are also on the journey to better health through your research and teaching.”

2026 Masterclass Graduate
“Practical, helpful information grounded in science, wonderful presentation with all your slides and PDFs. What I also liked was that your eating ideas are not out in “left field. ” They are mainstream with some great variations. The more I learn, the more disturbed I am about the processed food industry, the drug industry, the medical profession in general, and misinformation. And, the contests were fun. All around just a great experience and I thank you so much!!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
No matter what your condition, this program will give your body the best shot at recovery.
The typical American diet wages war on your body. By giving your cells the raw materials they need to produce energy optimally and function properly, you allow your body to do what it does best: grow and heal.
The core live session runs for 60 minutes every Saturday. You can also attend the live Q&A sessions every Thursday. Everything else fits easily into real life: short daily emails to keep you on track, step-by-step changes you can implement in minutes, and practical tools you can use right away. This is not a program that requires hours of extra work or perfection.
Yes. All sessions are recorded and available for replay for the full duration of the program. Many students mix live attendance and replays to fit their schedules.
This plan is far less restrictive than every other plan I’ve seen. The world of real, healthy food is open to you; all you’re restricting are the three refined ingredients that put the junk in junk food. The problem is, nobody teaches us what real, healthy food is, or what makes junk food junk. This program does.
Some people abandon a diet because they’re not experiencing the benefits. Some people abandon a diet simply because it’s too restrictive and impractical. This program gives you more choices, not fewer. And makes it easy for you to track measurable progress.
Many programs are designed to make money by asking you to buy unnecessary equipment, supplements that don’t work and can be harmful, and pricey specialty foods that few people enjoy. This plan does none of that. This isn’t about upselling you to proprietary products. Thiis is about empowering you with knowledge.
Yes—every Thursday we meet live for at least 1 hour of Q&A to help you apply course teachings. You can ask questions live or in advance.
Don’t worry if you have to miss some days. I’ve designed each lesson to stand on its own, so you won’t feel lost even if you’re too busy to watch the replays.
You’re fully protected by our no-questions-asked, 30-day money-back guarantee.
No. This is an educational masterclass focused on reversing root causes that send many people to the doctor. It does not provide medical care, diagnose conditions, or replace your relationship with healthcare providers. Many students find that reversing inflammation reduces their need for medical care—but this program is not medical treatment.
