In this conversation we talk about why oil, even the most expensive and best quality, is NOT a health food.

While we generally recommend that all of our clients and patients avoid oil to optimally heal, we understand that we can eat out at restaurants and it can "slip in" from time to time. We keep you informed of those oils that are total dealbreakers for your health, and those that can be included in moderation, depending on your health goals.
