Hemp seeds are often grouped with superfoods, protein supplements, or even cannabis products – yet their actual nutritional value is rarely explained clearly.
In this episode, we take a research-driven look at hemp seeds and their potential role in health and longevity, including:
• The macronutrient profile of hemp seeds
• Protein quality and amino acid composition
• Omega-6 to omega-3 ratios and fatty acid claims
• What hemp seeds do not contain (and why that matters)
• Common myths around hormones, THC, and health effects
• Where the evidence is solid – and where claims go too far
This is not nutrition hype or wellness marketing. It’s a careful breakdown of what the research supports, what remains uncertain, and what is commonly misunderstood.
If you’re interested in longevity, metabolic health, or evidence-based nutrition, this episode will help you think more clearly about hemp seeds and similar foods.
