Remember - it can take up to 2 years to clear out all of the seed oils & it's effects from your body once you stop. Here's how Your body repairs once you cut seed oils (and rebuilds healthier mitochondria). Month 1–3: The Reset Begins What’s happening- - Intake of linoleic acid (LA) drops. - Mitochondria experience less oxidative stress. - Inflammation markers may begin to lower. What you notice- - Less bloating and digestive irritation. - More stable energy (fewer crashes). - Early improvements in skin (less redness, dryness). FitnHealthy Forever Tip- Focus on swapping hidden seed oils in condiments, dressings, and packaged foods. Month 4–12: Fat Stores Start Turning Over - What’s happening- - As you burn body fat, stored LA gets released. - Cells start remodeling with healthier fats. - Mitochondria become more efficient at fat and carb burning. What you notice- - Weight loss feels smoother and more sustainable. - Less joint pain and stiffness. - Clearer thinking, reduced brain fog. - More consistent blood sugar levels. FitnHealthy Forever Tip- Pair fat loss with antioxidants (vitamin C, magnesium, polyphenols) to neutralize oxidative stress as bad fats are released. Year 1–2: Deep Cellular Remodeling What’s happening - - A large portion of stored fat has been replaced with more stable, healthier fats. - Inflammatory pathways calm down. - Brain and nerve tissues (which remodel slower) start to show clearer improvements. What you notice- - Improved endurance and recovery from workouts. - Better sleep quality. - Fewer inflammatory flares (skin, joints, sinuses). - Steadier mood and mental clarity. FitnHealthy Forever Tip- Keep moving — exercise accelerates mitochondrial repair and fat turnover. Year 2–4: Full Rebuild & Resilience What’s happening - - Most stored LA from decades of seed oil exposure has been replaced. - Mitochondria are running clean, efficient, and resilient. - The “energy collapse” that drives chronic disease risk is dramatically reduced.

Linoleic acid (LA) from seed oils gets stored in body fat and cell membranes. Because fat cells turn over slowly, it can take 2–4 years (sometimes longer) to fully lower tissue levels. But improvements in mitochondrial function, inflammation, and energy can often be seen within weeks to months once intake is reduced. The Process of Reversing Damage 1. Remove the Source - Eliminate seed oils: soybean, canola, corn, sunflower, safflower, cottonseed, grapeseed, peanut, and “vegetable” oil blends. - Avoid ultra-processed foods (where seed oils hide in chips, crackers, dressings, sauces, baked goods). 2. Support Fat Turnover - As body fat is burned (through calorie balance + movement), stored LA is gradually released and replaced with healthier fats. - This is why slow, steady fat loss (not extreme dieting) is beneficial — it lets your body handle the oxidative stress as bad fats are mobilized. 3. Rebuild with Better Fats - Prioritize saturated and monounsaturated fats (butter, ghee, coconut oil, olive oil, beef tallow, avocado, macadamias). - Get balanced omega-3s (wild salmon, sardines, mackerel, cod liver oil) to offset inflammation. 4. Strengthen Antioxidant Defenses - Eat colorful fruits/veggies rich in polyphenols, vitamin C, vitamin E. - Minerals like magnesium, selenium, zinc support mitochondrial enzymes. - Consider mitochondrial-supportive supplements (CoQ10, l-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, NAC) - We recommend that You don't just add these without consulting with a Health Professional about them. 5. Repair the Mitochondria - Light & Movement: Morning sunlight, strength training, and zone-2 cardio improve mitochondrial health. - Sleep & Stress: Deep sleep and stress reduction allow repair pathways to activate. - Metabolic Flexibility: Time-restricted eating or mild intermittent fasting helps mitochondria regain the ability to burn both carbs and fat efficiently. For Children (and Moms Post-Pregnancy)

Maybe You don't eat seed oils. Did your Mom? Crisco (cottonseed. oil), corn oil anyone? Here’s a breakdown of what science shows about seed oils (high in linoleic acid, LA) in a mother’s diet and how they affect the fetus, infant, and child later in life. In the Womb (Prenatal Development - Placental Transfer of Linoleic Acid- LA easily crosses the placenta. If a mother consumes high amounts, the fetus’ tissues, including the brain and fat stores, become enriched with these unstable fats. - Oxidative Stress - Because LA oxidizes readily, it increases free radical formation, which can damage developing organs and mitochondria. - Epigenetic Programming: - Excess seed oils can influence how genes involved in metabolism are “set,” predisposing the child to insulin resistance and obesity later in life. Infancy & Early Childhood - Brain Development- The developing brain is very sensitive to oxidative damage. High maternal seed oil intake means more oxidized fats are incorporated into the child’s brain lipids, which may affect cognition and memory over time. - Immune System Programming - LA-derived omega-6 metabolites (like arachidonic acid and oxidized byproducts) skew immune development toward chronic inflammation. - Mitochondrial Vulnerability- Early exposure to rancid-prone fats sets the stage for energy-production problems in cells — laying groundwork for metabolic diseases. Later Years (Childhood, Adolescence, Adulthood) - Obesity & Fatty Liver: Studies show higher maternal seed oil intake correlates with greater risk of obesity, fatty liver, and metabolic syndrome in children. The “fatty acid fingerprint” set in early life persists. - Type 2 Diabetes Risk: Because seed oils disrupt insulin signaling and damage pancreatic mitochondria, children exposed early are more prone to insulin resistance. - Neurodevelopment & Behavior: Elevated oxidized fats in the brain have been linked to attention and learning difficulties, and may increase long-term risk of neurodegenerative issues. - Joint & Autoimmune Issues: A pro-inflammatory fatty acid balance in early years can set the stage for arthritis, asthma, and autoimmune conditions later.

We often hold onto the belief - “If it worked before, it should work again.” But here’s the truth… - Your body, your hormones, your stress levels, and even your lifestyle are constantly changing. - The strategies that worked in your 20s or 30s may no longer deliver results in your 40s, 50s, or beyond. - Repeating the old approach often leads to frustration, plateaus, and burnout. Why This Happens? - Adaptation. - Your body gets smarter and more efficient. - Aging & Hormones - Insulin, cortisol, thyroid, estrogen, and testosterone all shift with time. - Lifestyle Load - Stress, sleep, recovery needs, and responsibilities all change the game. The Shift You Need - Instead of asking - “Why isn’t this working anymore?” Ask - What do I need to do differently to keep moving forward?” - Upgrade your strategies as your body evolves. - Match your training, nutrition, and recovery to where you are now, not where you were 10 -30 years ago. - Focus on Progression, not Perfection. FitnHealthy Forever Tip - If you feel stuck, it’s not because you’re broken. It’s because you’re using an old roadmap for a new destination. What got you here won’t get you there. The next level requires new tools, new strategies, and sometimes a new mindset. What’s one strategy you’ve been repeating (because it worked in the past) that no longer gives you results today? Drop your answers below — this is where the breakthrough begins.
