The Truth About Seed Oils with Cherie Calbom
Most people have heard that seed oils are bad, but very few understand what they actually are, how they ended up in nearly every packaged food and restaurant meal, or the many ways they silently damage health from the inside out.
In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Cherie Calbom — known worldwide as the Juice Lady, MS in nutrition, and author of 36 books including her latest, The Truth About Seed Oils — to break down the real story behind these industrial oils. Cherie draws on decades of experience and extensive research to explain how seed oils came to dominate the food supply, what they’re doing to our cells, hormones, brains, and bodies, and what practical steps we can take right now to make better choices.
We’ll explore:
✔️ The surprising origin story of seed oils and how they were marketed as “heart-healthy”
✔️ The “hateful eight” seed oils and how to identify them on food labels
✔️ How seed oils drive inflammation, oxidative stress, hormonal disruption, and cellular damage
✔️ The connection between seed oils and anxiety, depression, brain fog, and neurodegenerative disease
✔️ How long it takes to notice real changes when you remove seed oils from your diet
✔️ Practical tips for navigating restaurants, reading labels, and making the switch to better fats
Whether you’re just starting to learn about seed oils or ready to make a full dietary shift, this episode gives you both the science and the practical roadmap to protect your health — and your family’s.
