Why Olive Oil Should Be the First Thing You Consume Each Morning

Featuring Janna’s Daily Ritual with The Immortal Olive Oil + Lemon Juice 🍋

Before emails. Before caffeine. Before chaos.

There’s a quiet, intentional moment in Janna Breslin’s morning where she pours a tablespoon of The Immortal Olive Oil, squeezes fresh lemon juice into a glass, and drinks it down like a sacred elixir. 🕊️

This isn’t just a health habit. It’s a ritual rooted in mythology, ancient medicine, and modern science. And it might just be the most powerful way to start your day.

🏛️ The Ancient Wisdom Behind the Ritual

The olive tree is one of the oldest cultivated trees on Earth. Revered by the ancient Greeks, the olive tree was considered a divine gift from the goddess Athena—so much so that she was chosen as the patron deity of Athens after striking the ground and producing the first olive tree. 🌳✨

For millennia, olive oil was more than just food. It was medicine, currency, a beauty secret, and a sacred offering. Hippocrates called it “the great healer.” Olympic athletes used it to fuel their bodies and anoint their skin.

Janna’s ritual is a modern homage to this ancient wisdom. But it’s not just symbolic. There’s powerful science to back it up.

🧪 Why Olive Oil on an Empty Stomach?

Taking a tablespoon of high-polyphenol olive oil first thing in the morning—especially paired with lemon juice—can:

🔥 1. Activate Fat Metabolism and Support Weight Management

Extra virgin olive oil supports lipid metabolism and improves insulin sensitivity. Starting your day with EVOO may kickstart fat burning and reduce blood sugar spikes throughout the day. [Mena et al., 2019]

🦠 2. Improve Gut Health and Reduce Inflammation

Compounds like oleocanthal and oleuropein act like natural ibuprofen. Taking olive oil before food coats the gut lining, reduces inflammation, and supports microbiome diversity. [Lucas et al., 2011]

❤️ 3. Enhance Longevity Markers

Daily EVOO consumption is linked with lower all-cause mortality, especially from cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. [Guasch-Ferré et al., 2022]

🧽 4. Improve Liver Function and Detox Pathways

Lemon juice + EVOO enhances bile flow and liver detox, especially after overnight fasting. [Boskou, 2006]

🧠 5. Support Hormonal Balance and Brain Function

Healthy fats fuel hormone production and brain function. Polyphenol-rich olive oil has been shown to reduce cognitive decline and support neurotransmitter balance. [Martínez-González et al., 2015]

🌿 Why The Immortal?

Most olive oils on store shelves are: ❌ Blended with seed oils ❌ Oxidized from poor transport ❌ Deceptively labeled “extra virgin”

The Immortal is different:

  • ✅ Single-varietal from Spain
  • ✅ Cold-pressed & high in polyphenols (700+ mg/kg)
  • ✅ Lab-tested for purity & authenticity
  • ✅ Bottled at the source, never bulk shipped in plastic

This is olive oil worthy of Athena. 🏺

🥃 How to Take It

  1. Pour 1 tbsp of The Immortal Olive Oil into a shot glass
  2. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon 🍋
  3. Stir gently, raise the glass, and drink it like a goddess 👑

Janna does this every single morning—not because it’s trendy, but because it works.
