Menopause Dry Skin? The Right Oils Your Body Needs Most | Udo Erasmus

Olive oil, coconut oil, flax oil, seed oils… does choosing a healthy fat sometimes feel like trying to solve a puzzle with half the pieces missing? Especially in midlife, when you're already navigating changes in your energy, skin, concentration, and overall well-being, conflicting nutrition advice can make everyday food choices feel unnecessarily complicated. In this episode of Tea & Truth, I'm joined by Udo Erasmus, co-founder of Udo's Choice and author of Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill and Your Body Needs an Oil Change. Udo shares his perspective on essential fatty acids, the controversy surrounding seed oils, and why he places so much emphasis on how oils are produced, stored, and used. We explore his approach to plant-based omega-3 and omega-6 fats, the difference between oils intended for cooking and those intended to be added after cooking, and the questions worth asking about the oils in your kitchen. Our conversation also takes a thoughtful turn toward the mind–body connection. Udo shares his philosophy on inner peace and why making time for stillness can be meaningful even when your body is going through an uncomfortable season. In this episode, we discuss: • Why omega-3 and omega-6 fats feature so prominently in Udo's work. • His perspective on the seed oil debate and the importance of processing. • How light, air, and heat affect delicate oils. • How Udo recommends storing and using his refrigerated oil blends. • Why midlife nutrition deserves a broader conversation than weight alone. • His book, Your Body Needs an Oil Change. • The place of stillness and inner peace in his approach to total health. If you're tired of conflicting food rules, join us for a conversation that gives you plenty to consider—and useful questions to bring to your own healthcare professional.
