Overview

This video explains how drinking high-quality extra virgin olive oil, when consumed correctly, can significantly aid in fat loss, reduce cortisol levels, lower inflammation, and improve overall health. Ben Azadi details the scientific mechanisms behind olive oil's benefits, common mistakes people make when using it, and provides a specific protocol for optimal consumption.

Key takeaways

• Fat Burning and Hormone Regulation: Extra virgin olive oil activates genes like PPAR-alpha, promoting fat oxidation and lowering insulin levels, which is crucial for reducing stored fat, especially visceral fat.
• Cortisol Reduction: The oleic acid and polyphenols in quality olive oil help regulate the HPA axis, thereby blunting cortisol output and reducing stress-related belly fat.
• Anti-inflammatory Properties: Olive oil contains polyphenols like oleocanthals that act similarly to ibuprofen in reducing inflammation at a cellular level without negative side effects.
• Autophagy Activation: Specific compounds in high-quality olive oil can activate autophagy and 'mtophagy' in brain cells, aiding in cellular cleanup and energy production, which can improve mental clarity and reduce brain fog.
• Common Mistakes to Avoid: Using adulterated or oxidized olive oil, believing you cannot cook with olive oil (as long as it's high quality), consuming it at the wrong time, or pairing it with foods that hinder polyphenol absorption.
• Optimal Consumption Protocol: Taking 1-2 tablespoons of high-quality olive oil first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, potentially with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, and before meals to manage glucose and insulin spikes.
• Quality Matters: Not all olive oil is equal. Look for early harvest, cold-pressed, high-polyphenol, dark glass bottled extra virgin olive oil, and perform a taste test (it should burn the throat slightly and taste peppery).
