"Vegetable oils are oxidative stress in a bottle. And oxidative stress is the root cause of disease and death. So vegetable oils are really death in a bottle, accelerated aging in a bottle." - Dr. Cate Shanahan
I hosted family physician and medical revolutionist Dr. Cate Shanahan to unpack the science behind "seed oils" and their devastating impact on our metabolic health. What started as my own misconception about omega-6 to omega-3 ratios turned into a shocking revelation about how these industrial oils create toxic byproducts in our bodies. The "Hateful Eight" seed oils—corn, canola, cottonseed, soy, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, and grapeseed—aren't just causing inflammation; they're literally creating oxidative stress that accelerates aging and drives disease. Dr. Cate explained how eliminating these oils from her diet helped heal her own health crisis and even eliminated her lifelong sugar cravings! If you're experiencing inflammation, insulin resistance, or simply want to upgrade your energy and metabolic health, this episode reveals the simple swaps that could transform your health in just weeks.
