Omega 3s, Omega 6s, and The Truth About Seed Oils
Manage episode 514424068 series 2984708
In this episode of Food for Thought, we’re separating fact from fear when it comes to omega-3s, omega-6s, and seed oils. I share what I’ve learned from testing my own Omega-3 Index, what the results mean, and how I’m adjusting my diet and supplements for both heart and brain health.
We’ll talk about why omega-6s aren’t inherently bad, how to bring balance back through whole foods and direct EPA/DHA sources, and why testing (not guessing) is the key to optimizing your health.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re getting enough omega-3s—or if all those seed oil headlines have left you confused—this episode is for you.
