Did you know the humble bottle of extra virgin olive oil in your pantry could be doing more than just making your salad taste good?

In this episode, I’m unpacking a game-changing compound found in high quality EVOO – oleocanthal – which behaves just like ibuprofen. We’re talking natural anti-inflammatory power that can help reduce exercise-associated inflammation, support recovery and keep your immune system firing – without wrecking your gut or kidneys like NSAIDs can.

You’ll learn:

• What oleocanthal is and why it’s like nature’s ibuprofen

• How to spot a good quality EVOO (not all are created equal)

• Why this simple pantry staple could be a secret weapon in your recovery strategy
