Hello and welcome back to STATE OF MIND with me, Grace Kingswell.
Today I’m taking to Cait Mizzi about polyunsaturated seed oils and the omega 3 to 6 ratio. Cait put a story up on her instagram recently about rapeseed oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil and all these other oils that we see in pretty much every single product we buy these days, and spoke about how detrimental they are for our health. As I’d been wanting to do an episode on fats for quite some time I jumped at the opportunity to interview Cait again for STATE OF MIND.
I bet you didn’t think your Oatly flat white was causing significant inflammation in your body right? Or that the fats it contains are akin to those you’d fine in a plate of fries?

Today I’m thrilled to re-introduce Debbie Lewis to the podcast, a great friend and mentor of mine and one of a select few Institute for Functional Medicine registered practitioners here in the UK.
Debbie’s here to talk about porridge and why it’s not the best breakfast option out there, no matter how beautiful it looks on Instagram.
The reason this episode came about is because I took to Insta recently to share my experience with having porridge for breakfast a few weeks ago. Usually I stick to eggs and veg - a lovely protein rich breakfast - but for some reason or another I decided to have porridge one morning and felt so sluggish, tired and headachey afterwards. I pretty much broke my Instagram DMs after posting about this so I thought I’d delve into the topic further with Debbie’s help.
I’ve also just published an eBook called Eggs and Veg which has a lot of info on blood sugar and the importance of maintaining steady levels plus lots of delicious protein based breakfast ideas to keep you inspired. It’s just £10.99 and downloadable via my website gracekingswell.com
Please share this podcast with your mates and leave a review on the Apple podcast app if you can - so that I can keep growing and producing podcasts for you all!
Next Episode
Today, my guest Alex Manos and I are talking about a VERY important topic in Nutritional Therapy and Functional Medicine - Mould and Mycotoxins.
This might be new terminology for you but don’t switch off, mould allergy or mycotoxicosis is increasingly becoming one of the biggest players in the chronic health game. When you’ve tried everything from gut work to hormonal treatment to dietary changes and looking at stress and lifestyle and you still have no answers, then it’s worth thinking about whether you’ve ever lived in a water damaged property because mycotoxins could be causing you a significant problem.
We also potentially exacerbate the issue with contaminated foods too: coffee, peanuts, grains and dried fruit being just some of the culprits.
When Alex lists the associated symptoms with mould illness and mycotoxins I think you’ll be shocked how relatable they are to you, so do keep listening and if you want to discuss any of the topics covered in this episode further then don’t hesitate to get in touch.
The sponsor of this episode couldn’t be more perfect wither, because its Exhale coffee, which is free from mycotoxins, heavy metals and pesticides - but I’m going to tell you more about that later and give you a discount code to try some for yourself. GRACE40 at checkout
