Coming up on today's show.

Eating an ultra-processed food diet, especially full of seed oils for a long period of time, really can mess up physiology.

It basically changes the mitochondria in a way that you cannot effectively use carbohydrates.

That is then confused with carbs are bad inherently.

Most foods in nature are about 2 to 3%.

And so we're eating foods that are now 25% of our diet, foods that are 80 plus

percent of this certain fatty acids. It's never really been the case before. So when you're

eating things like glucose, for example, or even like pure white sugar, your blood glucose goes

up, your body disposes of it. If you eat things like processed refined grains and you get maybe

some gluten and things like that that some people can't tolerate. You can have issues with the gut lining, which breaks the gap junctions and creates some dysbiosis.

But that can be fixed and, you know, if you stop eating it, one, two, three weeks.

When you eat something like a seed oil and you have high amounts of its linoleic acid on an ongoing basis,

they can be in your tissues for two to four years.

So there's no commercially available pigs or chickens that eat a species appropriate diet. And so they're all fed

corn and soy. Even the best pasturized ones will have linoleic acid amounts two times higher than

canola oil. What are your latest thoughts when it comes to diet and nutrition and any major

pivots in the last number of years? Oh, ma'am.

The list is long.

The list is very long.

I think that there's two major things that come up when I think about that.

One is just my continued and increased focus on eating local.

There's a lot to dig in there.
