Are seed oils quietly showing up in more of your food than you realize? In Episode 68, I sit down with nutritionist Cherie Calbom, M.S. to talk about seed oils, inflammation, and why the type of fat you eat matters so much. Cherie shares how her work with fats and oils began years ago, why she became passionate about this topic, and how certain highly processed oils became such a common part of the modern food supply. We also talk about how easy it is to consume these oils without realizing it, especially through packaged foods, restaurant meals, dressings, mayonnaise, crackers, chips, and other everyday products. We also talk about the fats Cherie prefers instead, including olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, butter, ghee, and tallow, plus why ingredient labels matter even when a product appears healthy. I share why this subject caught my attention in my own work and why making one simple change in the fats you choose can naturally lead to better food choices overall. Most importantly, this is not about perfection. It is about understanding what you are putting into your body and giving yourself practical ways to make healthier choices one step at a time. Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode: Why Cherie believes the processing of many seed oils can contribute to oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.Which fats and oils Cherie recommends using instead, plus practical ways to spot hidden seed oils on ingredient labels.How changing the fats you eat can help you shift toward a more nutrient-dense, whole-food approach without completely overhauling your diet overnight.
