How hidden vegetable oils may be influencing metabolic, gut, and inflammatory health

Dear ,

 

 

Seed oils are often talked about as either harmless—or inherently toxic.

 

In reality, the health impact of seed oils has far more to do with processing, oxidation, and cumulative exposure than with a single ingredient in isolation.

Many people experience persistent inflammation, digestive irritation, metabolic resistance, or fatigue—even when their labs appear “normal” and their diet seems clean.

 

In these cases, the issue is often not sugar alone, not calories alone, and not a lack of discipline—but a background inflammatory load driven by industrial seed oils embedded in ultra-processed foods and restaurant meals.

In our latest blog, we break down:

• What seed oils are and how they entered the modern food supply
• How omega-6 imbalance influences inflammatory signaling
• Why industrial refining and repeated heating increase lipid oxidatio
• How ultra-processed foods amplify chronic disease risk
• Why digestive symptoms may persist despite “clean eating”
• Which fats are more stable for high-heat cooking
• How to reduce exposure without extreme dieting or perfectionism

 

This article provides a clear, physiology-first framework for understanding how dietary fat quality influences inflammation, gut health, and metabolic resilience.

If you’re experiencing lingering inflammation, digestive symptoms, or stalled metabolic progress—and want a clearer understanding of how cumulative dietary stressors may be affecting your health—you’re not alone.
