I bet you didn’t think about this as an essential component of your New Year transformation but every single membrane in your body is made up of fats! This means your intake of dietary fat and omega 3 fatty acid supplements impacts all of your organs, your brain and communication between cells, your muscles your bones and your skin. So clearly this means you need to consume good fats (and rid all of the bad from your diet) for optimal health and wellness.

Why do this tune up? Learn more more surprising facts about fats and your need for a total body oil change below:

• Your brain is over 65% fat so the right fats impact brain health and memory. They have also been proven to treat and prevent anxiety and depression. Alzheimer’s disease risk has a positive relationship with a good intake of omega-3’s. The right fats also assist the symptoms of ADHD in children and adults.
• Fats are needed for the production of hormones estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and cortisol, which impacts your hormonal health, bone health, fertility, aging, libido and more.
• Fats protect your muscle mass (in fact, chemotherapy patients that consume omega-3 oils preserver more muscle during and after treatment).
• The right fats reduce belly fat and improve insulin sensitivity (which basically impacts your ability to metabolize carbohydrates like starchy vegetables, grains, legumes, sugars and fruit). This equates to a reduced risk of metabolic syndrome.
• The right fats reduce harmful cholesterol and raise good cholesterol, reducing your risk of stroke and heart disease.
• The right fats reduce inflammation the harmful fats turn your body into a hotbed of inflammatory risk and they also assist in the treatment and prevention of autoimmune disease.
• They are essential for healthy pregnancy.
• Fats protect your eyes and reduce the problematic symptoms of dry eyes.
• Omega-3’s reduce cancer risk, particularly breast, colon and prostate cancers.
• Who doesn’t need better sleep? Take your omega’s at bedtime, they are shown to help melatonin production and improve sleep in children and adults.
• Your skin will love you for your fats. Omega-3’s reduce dryness, aging, acne, eczema, psoriasis and those pesky persistent bumps on the upper arm area (folliculitis).

From a dietary perspective these are your best fat options and the only fats I recommend. Consume one to four servings per day based on your activity level:

• Olive oil –– 1 tbsp daily
• Avocado – ¼
• Mayonnaise – avocado or olive oil based – 1 tsp
• Olives – 5 to 6
• Butter (grass fed preferably) ½ tsp
• Omega 3 egg yolks – 2 for women, 3 for men
• Organic coconut butter/oil – 1 tbsp
• Salad dressings made with canola or olive oil – 1 tbsp
• Walnuts – 8 to 16
• Cashews – 6 to 12
• Almonds – 10 to 24
• Seeds – pumpkin, sunflower, sesame – 2 tbsp
• Pistachios – 25 to 50
• Pumpkin Seeds – 2 to 3 tbsp
• Nut butter, preferably almond butter or pumpkin seed – 1 tbsp
• Hemp hearts – 2 tbsp
• PC Organic olive oil spray
• Spectrum Coconut Oil spray

And from a supplement to ensure adequate essential fatty acid intake, I suggest adding a fatty acid supplement to your daily intake for a minimum of the next 120 days. It takes this long to produce all new red blood cells in your body and along the walls of your digestive tract. It also takes nine to twelve weeks to form new neurons in your brain. So, a proper oil change takes time.

• For women over 40 or those on a plant-based diet, I recommend Pure Form Omega at four capsules per day and,
• For all other people I recommend the highly potent and absorbable marine based omega, which also does not have any fishy aftertaste or repeat, Marine-Based Omega 3’s new concentrated formula at two capsules per day.
