Seed oils are a hot topic right now.
These oils (like soybean, corn, and canola) are extracted from seeds and used heavily in packaged and restaurant foods. They’re popular because they’re inexpensive and versatile, but that doesn’t mean they’re uncontroversial.
From a Paleo perspective, the concern isn’t just the oils themselves. It’s how they’re MADE and how MUCH we consume. Seed oils are typically highly processed using heat and refining methods, and they’re rich in omega-6 fatty acids. While omega-6 fats aren’t inherently “bad,” most modern diets contain them in excess, throwing off the balance with omega-3s that our bodies rely on (see our last reel for a deeper explanation of this Omega ratio).
These oils also show up in ultra-processed foods, making it easy to consume far more than intended.
In Paleo, we prioritize fats that are closer to their natural state, like olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and fats from whole foods.
Because when you zoom out, it’s not about one ingredient, but more about the overall pattern of how we eat daily 🌱

Have you heard of the ratio from Omega 6 to Omega 3s? It’s one of the most important things to keep in mind for your diet. Many people don’t get enough Omega 3s - which we recommend you get from seafood and lean meats. It’s not about counting calories - it’s about getting the right ratio so that your body can be properly energized. 🌱

And that’s what we are all about - eating simple, nutrient-dense, whole foods that give you energy 🌱 That’s Paleo!

The truth of microwaves may surprise you! Microwaves have had a weird reputation for a long time, but the reality is a lot less dramatic than people think.

They use non-ionizing radiation, which means they are not damaging your DNA or turning your food into something unsafe. When you use them correctly, they are considered perfectly safe. The bigger issue is not the microwave itself, it is how you are using it.

Heating food in plastic, even the kind labeled “microwave-safe,” can cause chemicals and microplastics to leach into your food. That is where things start to get a little less safe.

At the same time, microwaving can actually help preserve nutrients because it cooks food quickly and does not require much water. So it is not all bad.

If you are going to use a microwave, stick to glass or ceramic, avoid plastic, and make sure you are heating your food evenly.

At the end of the day, this is not something to stress over. Your overall habits with eating whole foods matter a lot more than one appliance in your kitchen🌱 Want to check out our full article? Link in bio!
