Editorial Reviews
Review
“There’s a lot of confusion today about fats and seed oils, and this book brings much needed clarity to an often-misunderstood topic. I’ve seen firsthand how choosing the right fats can dramatically impact inflammation, energy levels, gut health, and overall wellness, and this book empowers people to make those changes with confidence.”—Dr. Josh Axe,
New York Times bestselling author and founder of Ancient Nutrition“In my telehealth practice, I’ve seen people’s health dramatically improve when they remove industrial seed oils — from clearer skin and stronger hair to better gut health and reduced chronic inflammation and arthritis pain.
The Truth About Seed Oils explains why this happens and empowers readers with practical, nourishing recipes to create real, lasting change.”— Dr. Will Cole, leading functional medicine expert and New York Times bestselling author“For decades, we’ve been told a simple story: vegetable oils are “heart-healthy,” saturated fat is dangerous, and the science is settled. But when you actually look at people’s health—rising inflammation, insulin resistance, chronic fatigue, and metabolic disease—it’s clear something doesn’t add up. What I appreciate about this book is its clarity. Cherie Calbom and Liana Werner-Gray cut through the confusion and get straight to the root cause. They explain why these oils are problematic, how they damage the body, and—most importantly—what to do instead. This isn’t about fear; it’s about replacing unstable, inflammatory fats with real, traditional fats the body actually recognizes and knows how to use. If you’re serious about healing inflammation, restoring energy, and taking control of your health, this is an important place to start.”— Dr. Eric Berg, DC, a leading health educator and bestselling author of
The Healthy Keto Plan and The 7 Principles of Fat Burning“This book boldly challenges decades of misinformation that have made us sick and tired and replaces it with truth rooted in biology and ancestral wisdom.
The Truth About Seed Oils empowers readers to understand what’s really harming their bodies—and how simple dietary shifts can restore energy, metabolic health, and hope. A must-read for anyone serious about real wellness.”—Dr. Austin Lake“We are called to be good stewards of the bodies God has entrusted to us, yet so many well-meaning people are confused and misled when it comes to nutrition. Seed oils may be one of the most misunderstood trends of our time, and this book brings much-needed truth and clarity. Written by trusted, bestselling authors who have spent years researching this topic, it gently but boldly helps separate fact from fiction while offering real hope. What I appreciate most is that this book doesn’t just explain what’s wrong— it goes a step further and shows us how to move forward with practical guidance and delicious recipes that make healthy change feel doable. This is an encouraging, empowering resource for anyone who wants to honor God, care for their health, and live and heal strong with wisdom and understanding.”—Suzy Griswold, MPH, founder of HealingStrong
“
The Truth About Seed Oils is a powerful, practical guide for anyone ready to heal at the cellular level. This book goes beyond the science and delivers beautiful, nourishing recipes that are blood-sugar balanced, gut-loving, low-toxin, and anti-inflammatory. These are the kinds of meals that look indulgent, yet quietly support your liver, mitochondria, hormones, and nervous system, using mineral rich spices, clean fats, quality protein, and gentle acids that aid digestion rather than stress it. A must-read (and must-cook) for real, sustainable healing.”— Dr. Jess Peatross
