Summary
In this episode of Food for Thought , we’re separating fact from fear when it comes to omega-3s, omega-6s, and seed oils. I share what I’ve learned from testing my own Omega-3 Index, what the results mean, and how I’m adjusting my diet and supplements for both heart and brain health. We’ll talk about why omega-6s aren’t inherently bad, how to bring balance back through whole foods and direct EPA/DHA sources, and why testing (not guessing) is the key to optimizing your health. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re getting enough omega-3s—or if all those seed oil headlines have left you confused—this episode is for you. This podcast is listener-supported.
