In This Episode:
Seed oils are everywhere in today’s food supply, from processed foods to restaurant meals.
The problem goes beyond what’s on your plate — these damaged fats can become incorporated into your cell membranes and impact how your mitochondria function.
In this episode, I will break down the science behind seed oil accumulation, why linoleic acid can remain in the body for years, and why many people struggle to remove these fats effectively.

How To Support Your Body’s Natural Detox Pathways
Detoxing seed oils isn’t just about avoiding them — it’s about creating an environment where your body can repair and recycle damaged cells.
I share strategies involving fasting, exercise, nutrition, heat, cold exposure, and targeted compounds that support cellular renewal.
You’ll discover why fasting and exercise can activate autophagy, how healthier fats support mitochondrial function, and the lifestyle habits that can help your body move toward better metabolic health.

Improve Mitochondrial Health and Restore Cellular Energy
Your mitochondria play a major role in energy production, metabolism, and overall health. When they become overwhelmed with damaged fats, it can affect how efficiently your body creates energy.
Listen to this episode to learn the science behind seed oil detox, the biggest mistakes people make, and practical steps you can take to support healthier cells, improved energy, and long-term wellness.
