My favorite glyphosate-free oats!
If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know oats are one of those foods I’m a little picky about.
Not because oats are “bad.”
But because how they’re grown + processed today is… not so great.
Even many organic oats have been shown to contain glyphosate residue (yep — that w**d killer 🫠).
Why this matters 👇
Glyphosate can:
• disrupt the gut barrier
• impact beneficial bacteria
• increase intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”)
• potentially affect the blood-brain barrier
Basically… not something we want as a daily breakfast guest.
And since oats are often eaten often (hello overnight oats, granola, oat milk, oatmeal 🙋♀️), exposure can add up quietly over time.
👉 On the package in this photo, you can actually see on the left-hand side that little “glyphosate-free” checkmark — plus all the beautiful certifications lined up along the bottom. That’s exactly what I look for when choosing oats.
Not fear.
Not restriction.
Just informed swaps that support your gut + brain long-term 🙌
