mTOR, Polyphenols and Using Olive Oil to Fight Cancer with Dr. Limor Goren

Dr. Limor Goren is an olive oil expert with a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology whose research involves the discovery of a highly effective strategy to combat cancer cells through a molecule found in olive oil. This molecule is known as Oleocanthal, the miracle-worker polyphenol. Part of her advocacy is to share the discoveries she’s made around the best sources of olive oil that are beneficial to health and to spread awareness that there are commercialized olive oils that are more toxic than healthy. In this episode, she shares Science-backed facts and tips to help you find the right olive oil for you, and how high oleocanthal olive oils are made.
