About this listen

Did you know the humble bottle of extra virgin olive oil in your pantry could be doing more than just making your salad taste good?

In this episode, I’m unpacking a game-changing compound found in high quality EVOO – oleocanthal – which behaves just like ibuprofen. We’re talking natural anti-inflammatory power that can help reduce exercise-associated inflammation, support recovery and keep your immune system firing – without wrecking your gut or kidneys like NSAIDs can.

You’ll learn:

  • What oleocanthal is and why it’s like nature’s ibuprofen

  • How to spot a good quality EVOO (not all are created equal)

  • Why this simple pantry staple could be a secret weapon in your recovery strategy
