Dr Cate Shanahan- “The hateful eight oils are used as engine lubricants and pesticides… and we’re eating these every single day”
Dr Cate Shanahan is an expert in fixing the underlying problems that cause metabolic damage and inflammation, leading to autoimmunity, weight gain, diabetes, cancer and accelerated ageing processes. She is on a mission to educate people on the danger of seed oils, an ingredient that is so prominent in our diet. After discovering Dr Cate and her research a few years ago I cut out seed oils from my diet and saw a dramatic improvement to my health. Losing weight was so much easier, my biological age decreased, my mood increased and my addictive eating went.
Trust me, this conversation will change your life.
