https://www.health.com/can-omega-3s-improve-mood-11893828What if one simple shift in your daily routine could quietly shape the way you feel, think, and cope with stress? In this episode of the Health Elevated Podcast, we explore the fascinating relationship between omega‑3s, mood, and mental well‑being—and why these powerful fats keep showing up in conversations about depression, anxiety, and brain health.Instead of quick fixes or miracle claims, we step back and ask bigger questions:
Are we overlooking something foundational when it comes to mental health? Could what we eat (or don’t eat) be playing a bigger role in how we feel than we realize? And why are omega‑3s suddenly at the center of so many wellness, neuroscience, and psychiatry discussions?If you’ve ever wondered whether there might be more to mental health than medication and mindset alone, this conversation is for you. Tune in and decide for yourself: are omega‑3s just another wellness trend—or are we missing a surprisingly simple piece of the puzzle?This episode is for informational and educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
