After a full year of cooking our way across the globe, the Recipes ’Round the World Series has officially come to an end. Based on popularity alone, I honestly could’ve kept this series going for another two years, and that’s entirely because you showed up. You read, commented, tried recipes, and made this series what it was. Thank you for being such an engaged and curious community. 💛 This series was created to inspire exploration, connection, and fun in the kitchen, and it did exactly that. While this chapter is closing, everything you loved about it is still here in the group for you to revisit anytime. Thank you for being part of such a special year. 🌍🍽️More goodness coming VERY soon…

My dear friends and fellow patriots, As we gather this Christmas season, our hearts overflow with gratitude for each and every one of you. This special time reminds us of what truly matters: love, connection, family, and the power of coming together with shared purpose. Christmas is about connection. It is about love. It is about remembering that we are all part of something far greater than ourselves. In a world that tries to divide us, to poison our bodies, to cloud our minds, and to disconnect us from our true nature, Christmas calls us back to what is real. It reminds us that love is the ultimate healer. Truth is the ultimate freedom. Unity is our greatest strength. This year, as you gather with your loved ones, we encourage you to celebrate not just with gifts under the tree, but with the gift of presence. Be fully present with your family. Nourish your bodies with real, wholesome food from nature. Rest your minds from the chaos. Reconnect with your spirit through gratitude and reflection. Our mission to restore America through holistic health is about reclaiming our power. Every body we help heal, every mind we help clear, every soul we help awaken brings us one step closer to the America we all deserve: a nation of free, healthy, empowered individuals living in abundance. You are not alone in this fight. We are a family bound by love, truth, and the unwavering belief that together, we can create a better future for our children and grandchildren. This Christmas, let us be the light. Let us be the love laser that cuts through the darkness. Let us show the world what it means to truly care for one another. Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for your courage, your compassion, and your commitment to truth and wellness. May peace fill your hearts, may healing touch your bodies, and may love guide your path into the new year. With deep gratitude and love, The Holistic4Life, Holistic American, and Holistica Beauty Admin Practitioners and Staff

Hey Holistic Americans! For decades, we’ve been told to swap butter and animal fats for “heart-healthy” vegetable oils. But what if the oils in your pantry—canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower, and more—are actually fueling inflammation, weight gain, and chronic disease? Let’s break down the science behind seed oils, the omega-6 problem, and how to make smarter fat choices for vibrant health. What Are Seed Oils? Seed oils (often called “vegetable oils”) are extracted from seeds like soybeans, corn, canola (rapeseed), sunflower, safflower, cottonseed, and grapeseed. Unlike olive oil or coconut oil, which can be pressed naturally, seed oils require heavy industrial processing; high heat, chemical solvents (like hexane), bleaching, and deodorizing. Common seed oils: * Soybean oil * Corn oil * Canola oil * Sunflower oil * Safflower oil * Cottonseed oil * Grapeseed oil * Rice bran oil The Omega-6 Problem Seed oils are extremely high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially linoleic acid. While omega-6s are essential in small amounts, the modern diet is overloaded, often 10-20 times more than our ancestors ate. Why is this a problem? Omega-6s are pro-inflammatory when not balanced by omega-3s (found in fish, flax, chia, and pastured animal fats). Chronic inflammation is linked to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune disorders, and even cancer. Excess omega-6s can disrupt cell membranes, hormone balance, and immune function. The ideal ratio: Traditional diets had an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of about 1:1 to 4:1. Today, most Americans are at 15:1 or higher, driven by seed oil consumption. How Seed Oils Harm Your Health 1. Promote Inflammation Excess omega-6s are converted into arachidonic acid, which fuels the body’s inflammatory pathways. Chronic inflammation is the root of most modern diseases. 2. Easily Oxidized Seed oils are unstable and oxidize easily when exposed to heat, light, or air. Oxidized fats create free radicals, damaging cells and DNA.
