In this week’s episode, we’re diving into a hot (and often controversial) topic: seed oils—also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)—and the serious impact they have on your body and your healing journey.

You’ll get a mini crash course on metabolism (spoiler: your thyroid is the boss), learn how every system in your body is connected, and why what you eat affects so much more than your waistline.

We’re breaking down:

• What PUFAs are and why they’re harmful
• How they mimic estrogen and stimulate oxidative stress
• The damaging effect they have on your thyroid and gut lining
• Why even “healthy” packaged foods aren’t always safe
• The real reason metabolism matters for healing and hormones
• Simple, practical swaps to ditch PUFAs and nourish your body with real food
• How to find balance so that food doesn’t feel like the enemy

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by oil labels or confused about what’s actually “healthy,” this episode is for you. Let’s clear the confusion and get back to basics—so you can feel better, think clearly, and support your body the way it was designed to thrive.
