Jessica Berman, the Chief Marketing Officer of BodyBio, delves into the fascinating world of seed oils, omega-6s, omega-3s, and their impact on our bodies' composition and overall health.

In this episode, Jessica and Dr. Stephanie journey through the scientific landscape, dissecting terms like linoleic acid and ALA, and debunking myths surrounding the vilification of seed oils.

Moving beyond the surface, they also explore the role of butyrate, its activation of GLP-1 agonists, and its profound implications for weight loss and body composition. Jessica sheds light on how the fatty acid needs of women evolve during pivotal life stages like perimenopause, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.
