The conversation around seed oils is confusing. Some claim they are toxic, while others insist omega-6 fats are harmless. The truth lies elsewhere. The important factors are what the oil contains, how it is processed, and the metabolic health of the person consuming it.

In this episode, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo cuts through the confusion, unpacking: fatty acid balance, omega-6 to omega-3 ratios, oxidation, cell membrane signaling, inflammation, insulin resistance, and practical strategies to navigate modern dietary fats. If you work with clients who struggle with inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, or cardiovascular risk, this episode will help you move from dogma to clinical precision.

What’s Inside This Episode:

  • Why “seed oils” is a misleading category
  • How refined oils differ from whole seeds
  • The metabolic consequences of excess omega-6
  • The role of oxidation and processing in health outcomes
  • How fatty acid balance influences inflammation and insulin signaling
  • Why individual metabolic health changes oil tolerance
  • Key questions practitioners should ask before recommending oils
  • A framework for evaluating oils without fear or hype
