What happens when a Harvard-trained psychiatrist follows the evidence beyond traditional medicine?

In this episode of MedEvidence, Dr. Michael Koren sits down with Dr. Carol Locke, physician entrepreneur and Chief Science Officer of OmegaBrite, to explore her remarkable journey from psychiatry and academic research at Harvard’s McLean Hospital to pioneering evidence-based omega-3 innovation.

Dr. Locke shares how clinical research into mood disorders led to surprising discoveries about omega-3 fatty acids, brain health, inflammation, stress response, and emotional resilience. Together, they break down the science behind omega-3 balance, the role of EPA and DHA, third-party testing, and what clinical trials reveal about omega-3 supplementation’s impact on mood, anxiety, inflammation, and overall wellness.

You’ll also hear insights on physician entrepreneurship, innovation in nutraceutical science, and why evidence-based quality matters when choosing supplements.
