You’ve probably heard a lot about omega-3 and omega-6 fats, but do you really know how they work in your body? In this episode, I’m chatting with Udo Erasmus, an expert in biochemistry, genetics, nutrition, author of "Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill," and Co-founder of Udo’s Choice line, and we’re getting into why these fatty acids are game-changers for your health. Udo shares how using oils the right way can improve everything from your energy to reducing inflammation—and even boost athletic performance. We’re also clearing up some common misconceptions about plant-based proteins and omega-6 fats that you won’t want to miss.   We also get into Udo’s incredible life story, from being a WWII refugee to becoming a global leader in health and nutrition. His innovative approach to oil production and commitment to healing through nutrition has changed lives globally. Udo also shares his spiritual awakening and how it fuels his passion for helping others achieve optimal health. By the end of the episode, you’ll be ready to make simple yet powerful changes that can profoundly impact your well-being.   And hey, if you’re going through perimenopause, I’ve got something special for you.

I don't want to make something that can actually hurt them. So that's why I moved away from flaxseed, and that's why we made a blend. And in the blend, the ratio between two omega 3 and omega 6 is perfect because omega 3s have more health benefits because they're missing in so many people." — Udo Erasmus   "They have never told you that there's damage done to those oils by industry, even before you fry them and correct even more. And that the fact that they've been damaged and you get all these damaged molecules hasn't made the news. So people don't know. And the people who write these books have done half their homework. They see the research, they say there are problems. Instead of blaming the damaged molecules for the problems, they're blaming an essential nutrient that you have to have for every cell in your body." — Udo Erasmus   Links Mentioned: Estro Balance Mastery (Get 10% OFF first order): https://metabolicblueprint.com/pod10/   Connect with Udo Erasmus: Website: https://udoerasmus.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/UdoErasmus Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theudoerasmus/ LinkedIn: https://linkedin/UdoErasmus   Connect with Betty Murray: Living Well Dallas Website: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ Hormone Reset Website: https://hormonereset.net/ Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BettyAMurrayCN/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bettymurray_phd/   Produced by Evolved Podcasting: www.evolvedpodcasting.com
