318. Omega-3s: What Most People Get Wrong About Inflammation and Longevity


Listen Later

In this episode of Rest, Eat, Move, we take a deeper look at omega-3 fatty acids and why the conversation about inflammation is often oversimplified. While omega-3s are essential for brain health, cellular function, heart health, hormone balance, and longevity, the bigger lesson is that health isn't just about isolated nutrients—it's about whole-food nutrition and how nutrients work together. We explore the history of omega-3 research, the importance of balancing omega-6 and omega-3 fats, and why cod liver oil remains a unique source of not only DHA and EPA, but also naturally occurring vitamins A and D, along with other beneficial fatty acids and inflammation-resolving compounds. The episode challenges listeners to think beyond supplement labels and focus on the quality, source, and biological context of the nutrients they consume.
