  "I believe the fear around Seed Oils feeds into the idea that we have complete control over our health outcomes and that eating perfectly will guarantee better health. This is far from the truth..."Are Seed Oils really the enemy or is this another story from diet culture? In this episode, we're diving into the truth about seed oils. We're covering what they are, what the research actually says, and why the fear around them is often rooted in diet culture, privilege, not health.I'm excited to share the facts with you on this episode so you can feel calmer and more confident in your food choices.

You don't have to force yourself through this episode if it's not what you need right now. Take care of yourself and come back when it feels approachable. When you are ready, I'd much rather you learn about seed oils here in a space that prioritizes your relationship with food rather than from a diet culture source that doesn't.What You’ll Learn:What Seed Oils are and why they are used so widelyThe main arguments behind the anti-Seed Oil movementWhy it's often NOT a good idea to focus on eliminating Seed Oils What to focus on besides eliminating Seed Oils, especially if you want to prioritize your relationship with foodHow to challenge nutrition misinformation onlineWhy the fear around Seed Oils is often rooted in classism and wellness elitism, not health Thanks for being here!
