Happy Wednesday, !
There’s a lot of buzz right now about cooking oils…
Which ones are healthy, which ones aren’t, and which ones you should stay far away from… especially if you’re trying to balance your hormones or reduce daily inflammation.
Since I get a lot of questions from my clients trying to eat clean without overthinking every ingredient about it, I wanted to put together a mini-guide for you.
Because it’s true: not all oils are created equal.
And some can actually promote inflammation, interfering with your energy, recovery, digestion, and even your mood.
Let’s break it down.👇
✅ Oils & Fats That Support Your Health: These are anti-inflammatory, hormone-supporting, and make your meals more delicious:
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Avocado oil
- Nuts and seeds
- Fatty fish (like salmon)
⚠️ Oils That Can Sabotage Progress: These pro-inflammatory fats are very common in processed foods and restaurant meals — especially when cooked at high heat:
- Vegetable oil
- Soybean oil
- Corn oil
- Canola oil
- Margarine
A quick note on Omega-6s vs. Omega-3s:
You do need both, but the average person eating a standard American diet gets way too many omega-6s (from processed foods and oils) and not nearly enough omega-3s (from fish, flax, chia, walnuts).
When omega-6s start to dominate, inflammation can creep up, even if the rest of your nutrition is dialed in.
👉 Here’s What You Can Do Today:
- Swap your usual cooking oil for avocado oil — great for higher-heat cooking!
- Sprinkle flaxseed or chia seeds onto meals for a simple omega-3 boost.
- Snack on nuts or seeds instead of processed foods with hidden oils.
Small upgrades like these can make a BIG difference.
Hope this was helpful 😊
Make it an amazing evening!
And keep up the good work,
