  • This week the show will focus on omega-3's


  • 26:28 - Science with Sarah
    • One of the overarching themes within the paleo diet is how to best balance omega-6's and omega-3's, and people are familiar with omega-3's due to its popularity in marketing

  • There are three main types of omega-3 fatty acids

  • Sarah shared on what a fatty acid is and went on to define omega-3's and the difference between the kinds of fats (ALA, DHA, EPA)

  • The body really only uses DHA and EPA, and they are used for chemical reactions within the cell that produce signaling molecules that control inflammation, blood pressure, pain signaling, etc. - this is the key reason why we are trying to balance omega-3's and omega-6's, for their signaling properties

  • Omega-3's and omega-6's compete for these chemical reactions

  • ALA, the plant form of omega-3, is not the fatty acid used by the human cells and is not essential for life, EPA and DHA are essential for life

  • Knowing the difference between these three nutrients, one has to strongly look at their supplements and what role they are playing in their diet

  • EPA and DHA come from animal sources - fish, shellfish, grass-fed and wild meats, eggs

  • If you are eating flax, hemp or chia for the omega-3's, there is not compelling reason to eat these foods as they are not a source
