S4 Ep. 20: Fish Oil Facts: Why Omega-3s Matter More Than You Think


Listen Later

Are you getting enough Omega-3s in your diet? Do you know the difference between EPA, DHA, and ALA—or even what they do for your health?
In this episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, Jamie and Teresa dive deep into the world of essential fatty acids, focusing on the powerhouse that is Omega-3. From supporting heart and brain health to reducing inflammation and improving hormonal balance, Omega-3s are vital—yet so many of us are unknowingly deficient.
Jamie turns the tables and interviews Teresa on everything you need to know about these essential fats:
What Omega-3s are and why they matter
The best food sources: marine (EPA/DHA) vs. plant-based (ALA)
The often-overlooked risks of Omega-6 overload
How to find a quality fish oil supplement (that isn’t full of junk)
What Omega-9s are—and why they’re different
You'll also learn about third-party testing resources, how to get your Omega-3 levels checked, and the groundbreaking REDUCE-IT Trial that revealed the massive impact of fish oil on cardiovascular health.
