In this episode of the Beautifully Broken Podcast, host Freddie Kimmel talks with Udo Erasmus, a leader in health and nutrition, about the essential role of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and the risks of industrial seed oils.

Udo's journey in health and wellness began over 40 years ago. As a pioneer in the Healthy Fats/Oils movement, he improved manufacturing standards for food oils, including flax oil. In 1994, he co-founded Udo's Choice, a global brand specializing in healthy oils, probiotics, and digestive enzymes. A bestselling author of Fats that Heal Fats that Kill and a biochemist with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology, Udo has influenced millions with his insights on achieving optimal health.

In this discussion, Udo Erasmus explains digestion, oil production, and why essential fatty acids matter. He shares the importance of balancing omega-3 and omega-6, the role of phosphatidylcholine for cellular health, and the sustainability of krill oil. This episode is filled with knowledge to help you improve your nutrition for overall well-being.
