The Seed Oil Truth the Food Industry Doesn't Want You to Know

#218 - The Seed Oil Truth the Food Industry Doesn't Want You to Know

You've probably heard that seed oils are bad. But do you actually know what they're doing inside your body and why swapping them out could be one of the most powerful things you do for your health?

Cherie Calbom, The Juice Lady — bestselling author, nutritionist, and author of The Truth About Seed Oils — joins me to pull back the curtain on the fats we've been cooking with for decades, and what the science actually says about how they're driving inflammation, hormonal disruption, and chronic symptoms that most women have just accepted as normal.

What we get into:

• Why seed oils were never designed with your health in mind and what they're actually doing at the cellular level
• The fat-hormone-metabolism connection and why the type of fat you eat matters more than how much
• Cherie's own story of rebuilding her health from chronic illness in her 20s... and what finally worked
• Why you can be eating "clean" and still feel inflamed, puffy, and exhausted
• What to cook with instead and how to navigate labels that are designed to confuse you
• The nervous system piece that most nutrition conversations completely skip
• Why healing isn't a destination and what consistency actually looks like in real life

Cherie has sold over 3 million books and spent decades helping people get answers their doctors couldn't give them. This conversation is the kind of straight talk your body has been waiting for.
