Seed oils don’t just make you fat: they make you anxious. Here’s how: the linoleic acid they’re packed with is highly unstable, and when it’s oxidised, it creates toxic byproducts that wreck your mitochondria. Those mitochondria aren’t just energy factories: they’re the regulators of your metabolism, hormones, and even your mood. Damage them, and you end up with a brain running on fumes. Overexcitable neurons, energy blackouts, chronic cortisol, and a nervous system locked in fight-or-flight. That’s anxiety in a nutshell. The fix isn’t therapy or pills: it’s taking the fuel source back to what humans evolved on: red meat, animal fat, and ketones. Inflammation gets cut right down with the absence of seed oils, sugar, and plant toxins. Red meat provides the building blocks for your natural antioxidants, the electron transport chain, and plugs any deficiencies. Ketones actively improve mitochondrial function through biogenesis and increased antioxidative capacity.

It can be a slow process. But heal the mitochondria, and the mind will follow.
