As someone living with chronic health symptoms, I've learned the importance of choosing the right oils for cooking to support my well-being. Through my journey, I've discovered that while olive oil is not suitable for high-heat cooking, canola oil and avocado oil are excellent options for deep frying, IF you really want to deep fry at home.
I've read a meta-analysis showing that canola oil can lower plasma cholesterol levels and positively influence biomarkers of disease risk, which is crucial for managing chronic health symptoms. It's essential to use pure canola oil from a single source to ensure its benefits.
Understanding gut-healthy cooking methods is a key part of my routine, especially since the smoke points of oils can impact lung and cardiovascular health. For sautéing and deep frying, I often use butter, ghee, or animal lard, which offer rich flavors and stable cooking properties. Additionally, I find baking to be a healthier alternative that aligns with my health goals.
By making informed choices about the oils I use in my cooking, I empower myself to manage my chronic health symptoms more effectively and enjoy a healthier lifestyle.
The #1 thing people tell me is...

Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
