Omega 3 and 6 oils are very important for our health and wellbeing. However, most people don't pay attention to the type of oil they use in their cooking and this often prevents them from getting necessary nutrients.

After getting poisoned while working with pesticides, Udo Erasmus went on a journey of discovery where he learned the benefits of eating clean healthy food and oils. He became a pioneer in the healthy fats/oils movement and started Udo's Choice to provide better and healthier oil products to the market.

In this episode of the NexxtLevel Brands Podcast, Steve Cleere sits down with Udo Erasmus, the Co-founder of Udo's Choice, to talk about healthy eating and the benefits of healthy oils. They also talk about sources of different food nutrients, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on people's food choices, and how Udo grew his oils brand to go global. Stay tuned.
