Clinical Protocol

7-Day Omega-6 Reduction Plan

A strict elimination protocol to lower pro-inflammatory Omega-6 fatty acids (Linoleic Acid) stored in cell membranes.

Protocol Objectives
The 'Hateful Eight' Oils

Strictly eliminate: Canola, Corn, Cottonseed, Soy, Sunflower, Safflower, Grapeseed, and Rice Bran oils.

Restaurant Audit

Most restaurant food is cooked in cheap seed oils. Cook at home or request butter/olive oil/no oil.

Nut Selection

Avoid peanuts and cashews (high Omega-6). Switch to Macadamias (low O6) and Walnuts (balanced).

Grain Fed vs Grass Fed

Conventional chicken and pork fat is high in Omega-6 due to soy/corn feed. Choose lean cuts or pastured sources.

The Half-Life

Omega-6 fats accumulate in body fat with a half-life of 600+ days. While blood levels drop fast, full tissue detox takes years. Consistency is key.

Processed Foods

If it comes in a box or bag, it almost certainly contains soy or sunflower oil. Real food doesn't have an ingredients list.
