In this episode, Melissa is joined by functional pharmacist Michaela Wachal, PharmD, CSP to discuss the potential health impacts of processed seed oils, genetic variations, and environmental toxin exposure. They explore how omega-6 fatty acid imbalances may contribute to oxidative stress, inflammation, and oxidized LDL, as well as how genetic differences can influence detoxification pathways and nutrient metabolism. The conversation also examines aluminum exposure, differences in bioavailability based on route of exposure, and emerging discussions around detoxification support. This episode offers an in-depth look at the intersection of nutrition, genetics, and environmental health.
