“When we learn something that changes our lives, we have a responsibility to share it.”
~Cynthia Brown, Founder Cynergy Training
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been driven by one simple idea: when we learn something that changes our lives, we have a responsibility to share it.
That’s what the MetFix and Broken Science Initiative are built on — learning, testing, questioning, and bringing clarity to what truly drives human performance and health.
Over time, one theme has become impossible to ignore: our modern diet is working against us, quietly eroding metabolic function and setting the stage for fatigue, inflammation, and chronic disease.
And one of the biggest culprits? Seed oils.
Why Start with Seed Oils?
We’re launching a short, focused series called The Seed Oil Awareness Challenge, designed to help you see what’s been hiding in plain sight.
Seed oils — like canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, and “vegetable oil” — are now a foundation of most processed foods. They’ve been marketed as “heart-healthy” for decades, yet growing evidence shows they disrupt metabolic health, drive inflammation, and damage the very systems that keep our energy and insulin balanced.
At the MetFix Foundations Seminar, they explained it through a simple analogy: Your cells are like a nightclub. Insulin is the promoter, inviting nutrients in. Reactive oxygen species*— “Ross the bouncer” — keep order.
But when seed oils and refined carbohydrates flood the system, the bouncer gets confused. Too much gets in. The club overcrowds. The walls stiffen. Energy leaks out.
That’s the beginning of insulin resistance, the root of obesity, low energy, and chronic disease.
What This Challenge Is About
This isn’t a diet or a restriction plan. It’s an education challenge — an invitation to learn, observe, and question.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll explore:
- What seed oils are and how they affect metabolic health
- Why they’re so hard to avoid (and how to recognize them)
- How they impact energy, performance, and long-term health
- Simple steps to begin noticing where they show up in your life
- Your only task to start? Just notice.
Why This Matters
Cynergy MetFix exists to empower individuals to take back control of their health — through awareness, self-experimentation, and science that actually makes sense.
This is how it starts: we notice, we test, we learn, we share.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “everything right” but still battling low energy, inflammation, or stalled progress, this may be the missing piece.
So as we head into the final weeks of the year, take this opportunity to observe — to question the ingredients you’ve trusted and the habits you’ve built.
Awareness is the first step toward metabolic freedom.
Follow along as we unpack the truth about seed oils — and begin restoring real metabolic health, one simple step at a time.
This challenge is part of The FIX — our framework for learning, questioning, and building real awareness around what affects your health. Learn more.
