Ep 07: The Truth About Seed Oils: Why They Fuel Inflammation, Cravings, and Fat Storage
If your body feels inflamed, bloated, or stuck in fat storage mode, seed oils might be part of the problem. In this episode of The Glucose Diaries™, Stephanie explains how chronic inflammation drives insulin resistance—and how the “healthy” oils hiding in everyday foods may be quietly keeping you in fat-storage mode instead of fat-burning mode.
You’ll learn what seed oils actually are, why they’re unstable, and how the way they’re processed (high heat, chemical extraction, and oxidation) creates inflammation in the body. Stephanie connects the dots between inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction, explaining why you don’t have to eat fast food daily to be overloaded with these oils. They’re in salad dressings, coffee creamers, protein bars, nut milks, granola bars—even some “healthy” nuts and chips.
Then, she shares three simple ways to start lowering your exposure without going extreme:
1️⃣ Swap your cooking oils — use avocado oil, coconut oil, grass-fed butter, or ghee instead of vegetable, soybean, or canola oil.
2️⃣ Read your labels — look for “expeller-pressed” or “avocado oil only” and skip blended oils.
3️⃣ Upgrade the basics — switch out dressings, creamers, and snacks for olive oil or coconut-based versions.
You don’t need to be perfect—just consistent. These small swaps lower inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, and support better blood sugar control over time.
If you’ve ever searched “are seed oils bad,” “how to reduce inflammation naturally,” “how to fix insulin resistance,” or “what causes bloating and cravings,” this episode will give you clarity—and the confidence to take small steps that make a big difference.
