The DHA Myth: What Fish Oil Isn’t Telling You
In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer speaks with MIT-trained electrical engineer and physiologist Brian Peskin about the science of brain health and essential lipids.
Peskin challenges common advice on fish oil and Omega-3 supplementation, introducing the concept of Parent Essential Oils (PEOs) as the real building blocks of healthy cells. He explains why DHA overload can damage capillaries, why Omega-6 is essential for oxygenation and anti-inflammatory support, and how to choose high-quality oils and fats for long-term cognitive and cardiovascular health.
Listeners will gain actionable insights into:
• The DHA myth and why high-dose fish oil can harm the brain
• How Parent Omega-6 supports oxygen transfer and capillary health
• The difference between adulterated and fully functional oils
• Simple strategies to optimize lipid intake for the brain, heart, and immune system
