olive oil is a staple of the Mediterranean diet and is packed with beneficial compounds. It is high in polyphenols which help promote mitochondrial health. The key to finding high-quality olive oil is to look for cold-pressed, extra virgin varieties with a pressing date. To get the most out of olive oil, it should be stored in a dark, cool place and used sparingly. Trader Joe’s and Costco are great places to find high-quality olive oil. With its numerous benefits, adding olive oil to your diet can be a great way to promote good health.

Olive oil didn't work on his double chin😂
Olives have been recognized for their benefits since very ancient times,. It's mostly about the polyphenols ,. Therefore take olive leaf extract powder in capsules
Nothing has changed since I'm using Olive oil daily. 3 tsp into my salad in the morning, some olive oil for cooking over the day. I'm using “Picual olive oil”, because it is one if not the best for heating. And NO, there was no Olive Oil in Europe 5000 years ago.😉
Dr G – I don't get it. In regard to cooking You say that olive oil does not oxidize fast and easy. In regard to contact with air (not sunlight) You say that it oxidizes quite fast. I buy olive oil in 3 liter (sometimes even 5 liter) metal containers and I consume it in about 4-6 weeks after opening. I have never observed any strange changes in taste, smell or colour of the oil after 4-6 weeks. My extra virgin olive oil is never older than 1 year.
I live in the the south of Italy, over 25 years, and I cook with EVO daily. My olive oil never smokes, ever. I cook on a gas stove with a very low flame to brown my garlic (aglio)and peperoncini (red pepper). I’m now almost exclusively using EVO from the province of Bari in Puglia. That area provides the harsh dry conditions to produce high polyphenols with that peppery spicy after taste. I buy it by the case usually and sometimes go to the olive orchards for a nice outing in October and November when they are harvesting it. But, it is easily found in our supermarkets too.
Love you Doc ❤️
Its only the best when its 3 weeks after production at the most. After that the amount of strength and all benificial stuff in olive oil will loose its content more and more by the time.
Costco organic extra virgin olive oil has been rated number one and is not contaminated with seed oils.
In the description: "To get the most out of olive oil, it should be stored in a dark, cool place and used sparingly." Sparingly? I thought the idea was to get as much EVOO into your mouth as possible.
Oleic acid, the predominant component of olive oil is itself beneficial. "Oleic acid has recently been shown to activate the all-powerful sirtuin longevity circuits"
Doctor GUNDRY.
Great information, but sorry to see that you are using your presentations to SELL YOUR PRODUCTS.
How long should you swish olive oil in your mouth for health? I've heard of a technique called oil pulling, which seems to be the same thing. I just want to know for how long this should be done. Thanks.
I love Gundry olive oil . It’s so good. I struggle to make a bottle last 2 weeks.😂I take a shot in the morning give me more energy to work out when I’m fasted
So Dr G, what is causing the EVOO to smoke if not oxidizing? What is causing the low smoke point? Thank you! ❤
I think how oil is used would depend on each person's body / physiology ! Dr McDougall says no to all oils, WHOLE food fats may be ok sometimes, but not if someone is wishing to lose weight !
We eat olive oil every day, and mainly because we cook all of our food every day. Love your great health presentations Dr Steven. But please add captions. Thank you!
Hello Dr., First of all, I would like to thank you so much for your industriousness. I am worried about my daughter She is 1 her diagnosis is renal tubular acidosis How you can help me What to do with her and to cure the problem? Thank you!
Olive oil! Males me want some now for a snack!
Just like to know. How much a day?
Say Jesus im a sinner please come upon my body and into my heart ❤ Repent ✝️ Christ comin back soon
My triglycerides were previously normal but doubled after taking 2 tablespoons of virgin olive oil for a month.
I WAS TOLD BECAUSE ITS IN A BOTTLE WITH AIR IT AIR RATS THE OIL IT MAKES IT DEADLY ?
about 7 yrs ago, I increased the amount of EVOO in my diet due to its overall health benefits. I believe it's partly responsible for my ability to stay naturally thin in my early 50s, when most people this age have issues w/ weight gain.🙌
I am 58, weight is 320lbs. I eat Olive oil everyday and take D3 and K2. My Artery calcium score was 7.5, my Dr was amazed. Thanks Dr G
I buy Dr Gundry Olive Oil, tastes amazing.
Just be sure its pure olive oil!
I never thought it oxidized because it smokes, it’s just simply because of the linoleic acid is absolutely going to break down
I needed this today! Just yesterday I told my daughter not to cook with it (I heard this from another Dr on YouTube). I have been taking shots of 1T once a day for the last few weeks. 👍 Obviously, that needs to go up. Hey, here’s an idea to keep it fresh. Vacuum seal it in dark mason jars in between uses and keep it in the cupboard. I have a handy mason jar vacuum sealer I got for about $30 on Amazon.
Ancestors lived until age in 80 's. Good health. Olive oil not part of their diet. Think how long they could have lived drinking olive oil !. 😅
HELP
I’ve tried keto twice in the past few years and quit both times because of terrible Keto rash. Now over a month ago I decided to give it another try and sure enough Rash appeared on my scalp and neck. After three weeks of waiting and trying everything recommended it went away. Now after 24 hour fast it came back again all over my scalp with my lymph nodes swollen and painful. I’m taking bile salts/digestive enzymes, B1, Biotin, Riboflavin, Probiotics, other vitamins. Eating tons of veggies, avoiding lectins. I’ve become adapted to metabolic switch, even when I eat carbs, the next morning Im back to ketosis. I just don’t understand why my body is punishing me like that. The Rash is terrible, painful, I can’t sleep and my weight hit the plateau as well. Please help
Mitochondria is a thing nobody ever seen in living cell. The way they "discovered" cell organelles is by freezing cella (what is destroying them be expending the iced water) and cutting them open after (what causing artifacts to appear). And now those artifacts are observed visually and some moron called them organelles. Everyone else are just accept it as a fact and now we have a profound lore written about it called microbiology. If something is actually working – it is the result of multiple experiments. And the next suspect is nuclear with it's "DNA" that is magically fold into it. Yeah, welcome to middle ages you have never left. But now you know why eggs one day are good and the next day are proclaimed to be evil. This people have no clue about body, except obvious level of conclusions.
I’ve been told the best time to take Oliver oil is on an empty stomach. I do Intermittent fasting and would like to enjoy olive oil right when I wake up. Does a shot of olive oil break my fast?
NEVER cook with olive oil – it destroys the good stuff. Cook with lard/beef dripping and then put cold olive oil straight into your food. I use 4-6 dessert spoonfuls a day + 1 spoonful of pumpkin seed oil. Love it.
I have yet to taste that peppery spicy taste in any of the many different EVO that I have bought. I purchased an EVO from Trader’s Joe that said it has that peppery taste /flavor,but I still didn’t taste it. However, I still buy it mostly from Costco now, and I have tried all of their EVO including their organic. Bobby, from Flav City recommends the one from a single source like 💯 percent Italy. I use a lot of EVO and I also purchase Coconut Oil and Avocado Oil from them also.

This man gives doctors everywhere a bad name.

Hello Dr. Gundry, I ❤your information and subscribed, I just saw a video where a Doctor mentioned that if you suffer from fatty liver, type 2 diabetes that we should avoid all oil including olive oil, do you agree?
Want the truth & facts about Olive oil & all processed food oils, then refer to Dr Caldwell Eddelstyn’s research into heart disease – the only peer reviewed research into dietary solutions to reversing heart disease – & one of the first things you do is to stop digesting all forms of Food Processed oils – including Olive Oil – This video is nothing more than an advertisement for Olive oil & no doubt sponsored in some way by the Olive Oil industry.
I totally agree with you about olive oil,. I'm 73. & had really awful srthritis, my hands were hardly useable, my shoulders were moving. Thought I wauld end up in a wheelchair. Then. i found a great olive oil, where did my arthritis go? I was amazed as my arthritis started to dissappear until today where I only have a small bump on my right index finger. So now I don't believe " it's just part of ageing. I'm living proof. Thanks for all the great hints & tips.
I agree with Dr Gundry, I personally experience , one tea spoon before .
Great educational video but I don’t agree with the implication that olive oil is somehow magic and won’t make you gain weight. Yes it does help weight management due to regulating insulin sensitivity but a calorie surplus makes you gain weight. Olive oil is still governed by thermodynamics.
