Do you have health + wellness questions? Don't worry; I've got you! Text me.

Our lifestyle choices greatly impact who we are, how we age, and how we function. In most things, I realize we all still have to live our lives and we can drive ourselves crazy reducing our chemical load and constantly refining our diets. Hence the good, better, best mentality. But when it comes to seed oils, I am a stickler!

DYK: It takes 680 days to rid seed oils from our bodies! I want you to know that when you eat seed oils, they actually become a part of your cell membranes.   

Interestingly, in 1900 heart disease was very rare. But by 1950 heart disease was killing more men than any other disease. 

Have you heard of a little product called Crisco? Proctor and Gamble were actually the first to introduce this shortening made entirely of vegetable oil which goes through a hydrogenated processes. 

The body just doesn’t know how to process these polyunsaturated fats that have been highly processed through hydrogenation so it stores them, and it’s no wonder why we’re overweight and chronically sick.

Seed oils are linked to:
Cancer
Alzheimer's
Diabetes
Heartburn
Heart disease
Autism
Leaky gut
