Are You Using the Right Cooking Oil? The Truth Behind What's Helping or Hurting Your Health Many cooking oils marketed as "heart healthy" may actually be contributing to inflammation, hormone issues, and brain fog. In this episode, we take a closer look at refined oils — how they're made, why they're harmful, and what you should be using instead. Why Refined Oils Are a Hidden Health Risk Refined oils go through harsh processing methods involving high heat, chemical solvents, bleaching, and deodorizing. These methods destroy antioxidants like vitamin E and create oils high in inflammatory omega-6 fats. Over time, this imbalance contributes to cellular damage, fatigue, and chronic health problems. What Oils to Use Instead You'll learn about healthy alternatives that support your body — oils that are cold-pressed, unrefined, and made the way God intended. These include olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, ghee, flaxseed oil, and walnut oil. Each one brings unique health benefits, whether for high-heat cooking or nourishing salad dressings. How to Shop Smart From reading oil labels to choosing single-origin and organic options, this episode offers practical tips to avoid fake food and stock your kitchen with real, life-giving oils. You'll also hear why it's better to toss out toxic oils immediately rather than "use them up." Choose Real Foods That Reflect God's Design Cooking isn't just about taste — it's about honoring your health and your Creator. Choosing natural, unprocessed oils is a daily way to align with the wisdom behind whole, nourishing foods. Take the first step by cleaning out your pantry and making simple swaps that support long-term wellness. == Did this episode bless you?
