Whenever someone asks about healthy edible oil options, the first thing that comes to mind is Olive oil. Olive oil is a staple of the Mediterranean diet which is derived from olives. The oils nutritional benefits are unrivaled when compared to other oils.
From lowering risks of cardiovascular diseases to decimating chances of certain types of cancer, olive oils benefits are many and still being discovered.
A study conducted on 46000 participants aged 26 to 49 years. Over 4 years showed that consumption of virgin or extra virgin oil reduced the overall risk of mortality, including incidents of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
So without wasting any more time, let us look at the 8 most prominent health benefits of Olive oil.
Olive oil is known to contain good unsaturated fats. The main fat it contains is monounsaturated. Monounsaturated fats have been found to lower cholesterol levels and also help normalize blood clot levels. When your bad cholesterols are reduced, the body’s arteries will be less clogged. This all leads to reduced risks of heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems.
Olive oil comes loaded with antioxidants, vitamin E, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds. All these powerful antioxidants combined work to eliminate the free radicals that might roam freely inside your body. Free radicals aren’t something you want in your body. They are a group of rogue DNA cells that attach themselves to healthy cells, thus causing an adverse chain reaction. The result could be injured blood vessels, damaged DNA, and subtle changes to the genes that may end up causing cancer.
We have talked about monounsaturated fatty acids above; there is more to this particular nutrient than reducing heart disease. Monounsaturated fatty acids also contain omega 3 fats. Omega 3 and monounsaturated fats both work together in lowering blood pressure by cleaning the heart. The body itself can not produce omega 3. It has to be consumed from outside food sources. What can be a better option for omega 3 than Olive oil?
Depression has got the modern generation in its clutches, with over 300 million people affected worldwide according to the World health organization. Although mental, depression can be associated with a poor diet. A study was conducted by the University of Navarra and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on 12000 people. It showed that a diet with adequate consumption of olive oil showed lower chances of ever suffering from mental illnesses. It can be concluded that olive oil has both physical as well as mental benefits.
Weak bones that easily fracture are a sign of low calcium levels in the body. Olive oil has shown promise of increasing levels of calcium in the body. This can have positive effects on bone density. Hence olive oil may prevent osteoporosis from ever developing in the first place.
Extra virgin oil had for long shown effects on the body that mimic the effects of anti-inflammatory drugs. Olive oil contains a compound called oleocanthal that can decimate pro-inflammation enzymes in the body. This means that it can help with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
There are initial studies on the matter of Alzheimer’s that show that olive oil can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Although there needs to be more research on this subject for us to back it up with confidence.
Olive oil is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and antibacterial properties that can help the skin in multiple ways. Its antioxidant properties can help prevent premature aging, thus restoring the skins former glow. Its antibacterial effects have shown to avoid bacteria from festering on the skin, thus preventing acne and other skin diseases. Olive oil also contains soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, which can treat a variety of skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
Final Thoughts
When it comes to cooking oil options, olive oil is hands down one with the most rewards for the human body. Substituting other edible oils with olive oil will start showing positive effects on the body in no time.
It can be consumed directly with our food or can also be used topically to restore the glow of your skin and hair. Beware, as there is a lot of fraud in the olive oil industry. Do your due diligence before opting for an olive oil brand to serve your purposes. Also, note that olive oil is a low heat cooking oil, it is better used as a drizzle on salad and foods as it simply isn’t a good high heat cooking oil. For high heat cooking oil alternatives, you can opt for coconut oil or avocado oil.
Olive oil, while loaded with nutrition, is still oil. It should be taken moderately to ensure you reap its benefits while simultaneously not falling prey to its demerits.

Our coaches teach you how your body works, what the underlying cause of your condition or symptoms are, and how to fix and address them using long-term solutions that are data-driven and that work!
Our holistic biological health coaches have a deep understanding of advanced functional testing and genetics testing, along with much experience in complex cases.
Our biological coaching team works with you to empower and teach you how to understand and interpret your lab results, what your results mean, how they are connected to your health conditions or symptoms, and most importantly, what to do with the information, how to put protocols together based on your lab results, and when to reorder your various labs to track progress.
You will become your own healing master learning how to navigate the healing process, how to modify your protocols, when and how to detoxify your organs and cells from the toxins discovered on your lab results. You will learn the importance of tracking your assessment forms and symptom sheets and how to troubleshoot your healing process.
In addition, you have the opportunity to learn how to understand YOUR genetic blueprint – Our coaches are trained in the field of epigenetics and understand implicitly that YOU are in control of your own gene expression and how your genes either work for or against you. If you choose to add genetic testing into your program, your genetic blueprint information can be used not only to help drive your plan of action for healing, but also it can be used to understand your body’s unique nutrition, lifestyle, sleeping, eating, and physical activity needs are so that you can optimize once you are healed.
Get help from our functional nutrition coaches who understand that there is no ONE diet that is right for everyone. Our nutrition coaches work hand in hand with our biological coaches so if you need any lab work done or specific protocols that would require supplement protocols, you have a team working on your behalf and your nutrition coach would make recommendations for which other team coaches would be able to help you.
Your coaches will teach and empower you to learn how to determine and navigate your diet modifications which are decided based on your extensive intake forms, history, and your lab data that your coaches may want to order for you. Based on all of this information, they will teach you what foods to eat and not eat according to various conditions and why.
Your functional nutrition coach will help you learn what substitutes you can use when there are certain foods you may need to stop eating for a period of time, how to put your meals together based on your dietary needs per your lab data, how and when to incorporate gut repair protocols, and what lifestyle modifications you want to address based on your labs and your health conditions.
Nutritional coaching can be a great tool by itself or combined with coaching from our biological coaches. You can schedule with either our biological or nutrition coaches and they can help you get started and make recommendations as needed.
Many people who have successfully mentored with our nutrition coaches have had past issues such as:
Mindset, past and present traumas, and limiting belief systems are some of the biggest barriers to healing, so much in fact that gene expression and biological ‘engines’ of the human body can change for the worse because of it.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of an impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
The rate of recovery and healing for those who place emphasis on creating new neurological pathways to imprint new and healthy mindsets and belief systems in how they perceive themselves and the world around them is greatly improved when the psychological aspect of mindset and integration of mind, body, the spirit is addressed through repatterning of the mind and body neurology.
By removing barriers discovered from traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
Therefore we incorporate mind, body, spirit integration work into our programs and in doing so, we see exponential increases in positive outcomes with our clients. We have put together the most comprehensive ‘whole person’ approach in the world, and this is why our results are so successful.
Our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches work with you to create new neurological connections, anchor new neurology, and habits, and show you how to become aware of any conscious or unconscious belief systems that may be holding you back from healing and total health.
You are welcome to try one or two appointments to see what you think. We typically recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to make an accurate assessment of how this type of modality is working for you.
Here are some of the modalities our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches use for brain and body repatterning:
Breathwork is more than just a simple exercise of intentional breathing. Specialized breathwork techniques are used to facilitate major transformation and healing by encompassing a wide range of therapeutic practices that are extremely powerful in providing immediate relief for pulling people out of fight or flight (the amygdala hijack we teach about in Part 2 of our Mastering Trauma Masterclass).
This vagus nerve activation through breath work activates the rest/digest (parasympathetic nervous system), stimulates healing, reduces blood pressure, reduces the cortisol stress response, regulates hormone and blood glucose activity, and heart rate variability (the biological stress response). It rewires the body for self-regulation of the nervous system in a manner that optimizes the body and creates resilience in times of stress.
Yoga breath therapy allows you to disconnect from the mind chatter, mind racing, and negative self-talk and reconnect with your body your energy. From this elevated state of awareness, you are able to facilitate healing, growth, and expansion. And if you are looking for some expansion of your body/mind/spirit awareness, then this type of breathwork can be nourishing and can facilitate the next layer of peace, love, gratitude, connection, clarity, and insights.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of a damaging impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress (the fight or flight response) can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
By becoming aware of how to regulate our own nervous system, and resolve traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
