Olive Oil - Myths and Truths, How Polyphenols and Oleocanthal Promote Longevity and Wellbeing, Brain Function, Fighting Cancer Cells, and more with High-Phenolic Brand Kyoord’s Dr. Limor Goren! (Episode #63)

“I was wondering if I can treat cancer cells with olive oil. So I poured some Governor olive oil on a plate of prostate cancer cells. I went home and I came back in the morning - all the cancer cells were dead.“    - Dr. Limor Goren, Founder of kyoord

Today’s guest is Dr. Limor Goren, Founder of kyoord where we will take a deep dive into the longevity and health optimization benefits of olive oil, what polyphenols are and their healing properties, including in fighting cancer, how olive oil improves brain function, why olive oil harvesting families keep the first bottles of the harvest and much more!

Dr. Limor Goren is the founder of kyoord. She is a cancer researcher with a PhD in Molecular Biology. Her research centers on one of the most important anti-inflammatory molecules found in medicinal olive oil called Oleocanthal. Dr. Goren discovered one of the mechanisms by which Oleocanthal is toxic to cancer and showed that olive oils that are rich in oleocanthal are an effective strategy to kill various types of cancer cells. Dr. Goren started kyoord after she received numerous requests from friends and family for the medicinal olive oil she used in her research, and realized it was not easily accessible in the US. She searched the world for the best high-phenolic olive oil and ultimately came across a small family-owned farm and mill in Corfu Greece, which had just won an award for having the highest concentration of oleocanthal ever discovered at that time. From here, kyoord was born and Dr. Goren’s mission to advocate for the health benefits of olive oil took hold. It is her goal to spread awareness about this holistic approach to health, and to make high-phenolic olive oil accessible to consumers.
