Today, I am blessed to have here with me Jess Berman. She joins the show to share new information and interesting science about cellular health from the perspective of BodyBio, the company founded by her grandfather, Ed Kane, an inventor, health explorer and early biohacker. He went looking for answers to his own health issues in the 1980s and got deep into the science of fatty acid research and cell membrane medicine through blood testing.
In this episode, Jess explores essential health topics, emphasizing the crucial balance of phosphatidylcholine in cell membranes and the impact of environmental influences. The significance of maintaining cell membrane health as foundational to overall well-being is underscored. We touch on omega-6 fatty acids; Jess highlights their dual nature and stresses the importance of quality sourcing in the fatty acid pathway. She distinguishes between processed and pure forms, emphasizing the role of processing and storage methods in maintaining omega-6 quality. Tune in as we dive into preventative health measures, urging a perspective that considers health as wealth.
There's a reason why seed oils have such a bad wrap. While it's true that they have omega-6, it's the quality of the omega-6 that we should be paying attention to. Understanding good fats vs bad fats starts with acknowledging the distinction between what's known as rancid, oxidized omega-6 and unadulterated omega-6 linoleic acid, derived from carefully treated, organic sources. As Jess Berman of BodyBio will explain, omega-6 is essential to the human body but there needs to be a shift in the type that we choose to consume. We’ll also discuss what it was like growing up in a super health conscious family, the value of a generational approach to wellness, preventative health measures and the impact of “forever chemicals,” DHA in brain health and fetal development and more.
