Does your skin feel drier than it used to—even with your favourite moisturiser close at hand?
If you’re navigating menopause and wondering how nutrition fits into the picture, this conversation explores a subject that often gets lost among all the skincare advice: dietary fats.
In this episode of Tea & Truth, I’m joined by Udo Erasmus, co-founder of Udo’s Choice and author of Your Body Needs an Oil Change.
Udo shares his perspective on essential fatty acids and their role in skin health, alongside his approach to choosing, storing, and using oils. We also tackle the confusing messages surrounding seed oils, omega-3s, and omega-6s.
Our conversation goes beyond the kitchen, too. Udo explores his philosophy on inner peace and making time for stillness while navigating changes in your body.
You’ll Hear Us Discuss:
Essential fatty acids and their role in the skin’s moisture barrier.
- Udo’s perspective on dietary fats and midlife well-being.
- Why he pays close attention to how oils are produced and stored.
- How light, oxygen, and heat can affect delicate oils.
- His recommendations for using refrigerated oil blends.
- The debate surrounding seed oils and omega-6 fats.
- His book, Your Body Needs an Oil Change.
- Why stillness and inner peace belong in his approach to whole-person wellness.
If the advice about healthy fats has left you scratching your head, pour yourself a cuppa and join us for a thoughtful conversation about nourishment in midlife.
