About This Episode

If you've ever wondered why seed oils are bad, and what that has to do with your energy, focus, and longevity as an entrepreneur, this episode is essential listening. Cherie Calbom, known worldwide as "The Juice Lady," is a celebrity chef, award-winning nutritionist with a Master of Science from Bastyr University, and bestselling author of 36 books with over 3.5 million copies sold. After overcoming chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia in her twenties through a radical dietary overhaul, she's spent decades helping people reclaim their health, including advising a Middle Eastern royal family and serving as George Foreman's nutritionist for 13 years.  In this episode, she sits down with John to unpack why seed oils are bad for your body, how they quietly drive the inflammation at the root of most disease, and the simple swaps that can restore your energy starting today. In this episode, you'll learn: • • Why seed oils are bad, the chemistry of how they're processed, and why that creates inflammation. • • The surprising history of seed oils, from machine lubricant to "heart-healthy" cooking oil. • • How your body uses the fats you eat as literal building blocks for your cells and brain. • • Why inflammation, not cholesterol, may be the real marker to watch, and the tests Cherie says matter most. • • The "good fats" list to cook with: butter, ghee, coconut, olive, avocado, and sesame oil. • • The cold, omega-3-rich oils (flax, hemp, walnut, black seed) and how to use them. • • Why the omega-6 to omega-3 imbalance in the modern diet fuels chronic inflammation. • • Cherie's story of overcoming chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia through juicing and whole foods. • • How to do a juice fast the right way, including how to break one safely. • • The entrepreneurial lesson behind her career: spot the need nobody's filling, and say yes.
