Hi Dr Patrick , I enjoy your knowledge and hope You never stop sharing … Oh , I think YOU are flirting with a possible nomination for a Nobel Prize … Go for it ! 😊
I would be very curious to see a podcast episode specifically on inflammation in the body. I say this because, while I am aware of the literature linking chronic inflammation with reduced lifespan, inflammation also plays a role in processes like muscle hypertrophy, which is shown to positively correlate to lifespan. Is it the chronic nature of inflammation that makes it reduce lifespan? And if so, would it be reasonable to assume that chronic resistance training without enough recovery would actually be detrimental to lifespan via inflammation effects? I'd love to hear a more in-depth discussion on this.
I support your inference that omega-3 acids are very important. However, there is a need for a clearer presentation of what we know so far. Not all formulations of omega-3 have shown to be equally effective. Please look at the JELIS trial in Japan and REDUCE-IT trials that focused on icosapent ethyl (EPA); also how at higher concentrations of EPA (> 2g/day) there is a risk of AFib and bleeding. There is a huge amount of recent activity on EPA within the cardiovascular community and definitely needs to be included in any balanced presentation on omega-3s.
Just brilliant! In a nutshell, evidence based scientific research that can change our lives, longevity and well-being. And great debunking of the fear mongering associated with eating fish, seafood and mercury content. Such critically important information and has been shared with family, friends everywhere. Many thanks Rhonda!
Excellent info from Dr. Rhonda Patrick. A bit leery on the Omega-3 offsetting mercury poisoning though. Personally, I'm a ovo-pescatarian that is mainly plant based. I eat fish 2-3 times per week and eggs when I go out for breakfast. Not a big fan of supplements, though I do take a D3 and on occasion magnesium and B multivitamin. Having said that, it seems that a lot of people should consume an Omega-3 if deficient (as pointed out).
@@rossstevens6165 I wouldn't suggest that. I eat them a couple of times a week and minimize omega-6 intake the rest of the week. If you're worried about mercury, spend some time in the sauna and consider supplementing chlorella. 💚
@@jimbort_de_breces fair enough, I use to listen to her but after she came out in support of the clot shot.... i take what she says with a grain of salt!!!!
I wish you would go in depth on the sourcing and supplement quality. The lab grade product used in these studies is not the same as 99.99% of what's sold on the market with all the environmental pollutants and contaminants. Would also be interesting to see you cover algae oil, which would be a direct source of omega-3. Fish do not produce omega-3 so why not discuss marine plants?
@@artspark7697 I read they were having issues with arsenic, but not sure what supplements that applies to nor can I confirm the validity of that claim.
I think historically that when the British French American ships rolled the seven seas these adventurers ate lots of seafood and also opened their eyes to the world creating genius people like Charles Darwin, to Trains Plains and Automobiles electricity grids and computers, that era for the west is now over. China owns most of Australian waters fishing licences while Aussies still get fluoride and other industrial waste nuerotoxins in tap water and forced tainted mrna products while seafood prices locally go through the roof.
Rhonda, what are your thoughts on people like ray peat who claim that polyunsaturated fats cause more harm than good? Would love it if you looked into it. Thank you
Chris masterjohn had an article about this called how essential are the essential fatty acids I believe. His conclusion was that if you have good levels of all the vitamins and minerals that they basically appear to not be essential, or even if they are it’s nearly impossible not to get the amounts required through a varied omnivorous diet. Everyone is so afraid of seed oils because they promote inflammation, and they certainly can, but omega 3’a are even more unstable and prone to oxidation than omega 6’s. Most animals have a more saturated fatty acid profile in their body fat. The reason fish like salmon, trout, sardines etc don’t is because they live in cold water. All the studies on omega 3’s show a mixed bag of results but no improvement in lifespan, and most oils are already oxidized before you ingest them and even if they somehow aren’t they oxidize inside your 98 degree body.
If people were being genuine, they would note that pretty much every meaningful result regarding n-3s is observational. Also, they ignore the observation that there is an interspecies inverse correlation between general DHA and lifespan. *One* study with a monoacylglyceride shows a 14% increase in lifespan in *drosophila*--funded by the patent owner. Evidence is mixed, but Peat emphasizes that n-3 (pufa overall) are inherently sensitive to damage and antagonistic to respiration, which is undeniably true.
Thank you for clearing a very complicated deficiency issue. “Nothing to do with plant based or marine omegas. Everything to do with our own genetic expressions.” How would “icosapent ethy” interact with the genetic mutations that doesn’t take advantage of the omegas?
I have systemic vasculitis. I got the idea of a can of sardines every day from you. Not sure if you explained this but it takes a few weeks for the omega-3's to saturate your cells, just in case people were expecting something immediate. Besides omega-3, my stack includes fisetin, magnesium l-threonate, vit D3 and I'll usually rotate some others in there, such as alpha lipoic acid. As the first responder, I can usually keep this beast at bay, at least until I get the doctors involved.

I'm more inclined to follow Chris Masterjohn regarding fish oil and the balance of AA/DHA. He says EPA is not even required and should be limited as much as possible. DHA and AA resolve inflammation nutritionally whereas EPA acts pharmacologically like a NSAID to inhibit AA metabolism which likely results in many side effects. He says the best and safest approach is to eat liver and/or egg yolks with a small amount of CLO for the DHA, Vitamin A and D.
@7:23 "There's also evidence that it's related to cardio vascular related mortality as well". Effect of omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis (Aug 2021): "The effects of omega-3 fatty acids (FAs), such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, on cardiovascular outcomes are uncertain". Can anyone cite a study that shows differently? I'd be interested to find out more, thanks.
I've read research that seems to indicate that optimizing your b vitamin intake helps conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA. So if someone's not getting optimal amounts of folate, b6, b12 etc it tends to inhibit maximal conversion. Nonetheless, ALA has it's benefits which are unique to ALA, though DHA from fish is your best bet for optimal health.
Surprisingly, many a times labs inducate that those of us who have been megadosing on omega3s in isolation have develiped low levels of omega6 which is also a problem ! Few facts : 1. Your body needs an optimal Balance between omega 3 and omega 6, and NOT very low omega 6. 2. Your body needs Full spectrum omegas and not just omega 3. Full spectrum omega complex will have omegas 3-5-6-7-9-11 !

Very persuasive and informative video for those who practice ¨How Not to Age¨. I wonder if there is such a thing as eating too much Salmon, like for lunch and dinner, daily. Could that raise your total and LDL cholesterol levels. And isn´t cholesterol responsible for heart attacks and strokes, the leading cause of death. From my limited reading, a total cholesterol level of 150 is better than 200 in maintaining unobstructed arteries . So, is eating fish daily a wise practice.? At home, I eat a vegetarian diet, but while I was on a cruise, I ate salmon as stated above, for 74 days and my cholesterol level increased drastically. Is there something like ¨too much of a good thing¨
So, am I correct to believe.. if a woman is post- menopausal- and has low to No estrogen.. it is a good idea to supplement a plant based diet with an Omega 3 supplement? Or choose to eat small fatty fish 3x week? Any concerns about link of these Omega 3 supplements to cancer metastasis? (As I heard about a prostate study that linked this)
hi Dr. Patrick, there are some updates on Consumerlab, regarding fish oil supplementation, stating that healthy people (no cardiovascular disease) who supplement fish oil might be at a higher risk (13%) of developing atrial fibrillation and stroke (5%). Any thoughts on that?
As a vegetarian for the last 15 years that has always made sure to eat flaxseeds and nuts etc to get enough ALA... ...but I have absolutely no idea of my conversion rate, so I have decided to supplement DHA and EPA with algea supplements on top of what I am already doing. Thanks for the information.
Dr. Patrick, do you regard it as generally safe for a person, in overall general good health, to consume wild caught salmon or sardines on a daily basis?
I love smoked wild caught salmon with my eggs for breakfast. However, I heard that counted as "processed meat" and was bad for you just like processed deli meats are and you should avoid it. Any thoughts on that?
I am concerned that by saying we need to eat more seafood, the availability of algal-derived DHA/EPA will be overlooked by many, and ecological damage will be multiplied.
I have 2 pet pevees with this. 1st of all, cod liver has a ton of omega 3s, 13g per 100grams ( canned ). Also beef/pork brain has 0.7g/100, you can easily eat 300/500gr per day
@@Werepizzaayou do have good quality fish oil, that is processed immediately. Look for Totox values, they measure the amount of oxidized (rancid) oil. I found one in my country that has a value around 5. They should be packaged airtight, dark, recent production date. Keep cold, for longer storage perhaps in deep freezer. If they taste fishy, it's probably rancid.
@@Werepizzaa I don't think that is true, usually it has added vit E specifically for that purpose. Also i was talking about cod liver not cod liver oil, it tastes great, it's much milder then normal liver and has a good amount of vit A too.
There are actually 8 important fatty acids that everyone should be getting from fish oil supplements. Most that you purchase only have two at most 3 of the Omega 3 fatty acids. They are not whole and complete. I only know of one fish on the market that is complete with all 8 of the Omega 3.
What if someway the pathways for all these vitamins and minerals are blocked they can’t absorb they do. You know good receptor sites are blocked by all kinds of chemicals added to foods and then people over eat their style malnourished
Can you explain why here in Quebec the nutritionist community is telling us that a new study showed and recommends to stop consuming omega-3 supplements?
I consume flaxseed, chia seed, walnuts and then 2gms omega 3 of algae supplement. Do I still need to to consume fish flesh/oil? As my spread covers all the types of this fat? Most farmed fish is supplemented with omega 3 yes? I think these studies need to take in sustainability into account as well. As not everyone will have access to ‘wild caught’ and the market will be loaded with adulteration like the olive oil market. Fish stocks are depleting and our population is increasing. We need solutions for everyone that don’t wreck the planet.
Dr.Esselstyn did use one teaspoon ground flaxseed for his patients non of them got a second heart attack.High fish oil consumption has been linked to strokes in Greenland
The omega 3 in flaxseed is not bioavailable to us.....that's why we feed it to hens which process it, then they deliver to us in the egg , God's natural order
Well, if you go to the National Library of Medicine under PubMed and search for article PMC5112685 you will find that they concluded that the cause of the strokes were due to high body fat, being diabetic, and smoking, which was the main contributor to strokes for the tested subjects.

I’d love to eat more fish, but multinational corporations have destroyed the water. In the meantime everyone’s going nuts over C02. Never mind that there are C02 scrubbing factories and the tech should improve over time.
Omega 3 from Krill oil and Algae are lower on the food chain. There is a crisis in our oceans from over fishing. Not sure encouraging people to eat more fish is safe overall. Mercury poisoning and plastics accumulating in fish is a problem. Farm raised fish are a problem because of their polluted environment and food sources.
Before watching her videos on omega 3, I stocked up on liquid fish oil to save money. Now I'm concerned about oxidation. I've been making a smoothie with liquid fish oil and sunflower lecithin to emulsify the oil (and add other things; lion's mane, moringa, black seed oil, etc.), in an almond milk base, and mix in a Nutra Ninja high speed blender. Is all that air (oxygen) oxidizing everything?
How do you feel about the potential mercury, nano-plastics and other pollutants found in fish as well as potential parasites in certain types of fish vs the benefits of Omegas in terms of fish sources of omega vs supplements ?

For sure you can survive without seafood or omega 3s, but it will increase the risk especially as you get really old, of cardiovascular issues and dementia. It's partially why Okinawans have lower rates of dementia and cardiovascular disease than much of the world.
Cardiologists everywhere are warning of the potential dangers of Omega-3 supplements in causing arrythmia and specifically atrial fibrillation. I had afib ad did an ablation procedure. My cardiologists all say to keep to low dose of Omega-3 given this. They don't think the benefits outweigh the risks, at least in my case. Should we just take up to the dose to get to an Omega-3 index of 8%, unless we get Afib, and then back off in some way? Thanks so much.
The studies on that were not done on omega 3 supplements but rather fish oil supplements. No non-fish supplements were included in the meta analysis that found those results. Only fish-derived ones. Are omega 3 supplements from plants (algae) safe?
Cardiologists everywhere? Not sure if that is the case. One recent study suggested that fish oil supplements are associated with a significantly greater risk of atrial fibrillation in patients at elevated cardiovascular risk. Obviously if you have heart issues this is something you want to discuss with your cardiologist, as you have in your case.

The wild fish oils took it down even further. Using Kirkland (Costco) Omega's (figure I'd start with an easier brand of fish oil to start with).
That's great! My triglycerides have always have been around 100 but recently were 150. I just started taking Carlson's fish oil on days I don't eat fish.@@51249ca
I take the wileys finest but it messed with my stomach to begin with
I take the same. For me it’s a very noticeable yet subtle improvement in cognition, mental recall of all sorts and I swear it keeps my appetite in check. I know more is going on as well but those are the obv benefits for me. I also eat canned sardines and salmon everyday on top of it just cause I love them and it’s the perfect meal for lifting weights. I feel cleaner and lighter. If that makes any sense. YMMV
Thank you, Dr. Patrick, thank you for taking the time to inform us on nutrients, health, and longevity. You are a treasure.

Hi Dr Patrick , I enjoy your knowledge and hope You

I would be very curious to see a podcast episode specifically on inflammation in the body.
I say this because, while I am aware of the literature linking chronic inflammation with reduced lifespan, inflammation also plays a role in processes like muscle hypertrophy, which is shown to positively correlate to lifespan.
Is it the chronic nature of inflammation that makes it reduce lifespan? And if so, would it be reasonable to assume that chronic resistance training without enough recovery would actually be detrimental to lifespan via inflammation effects?
I'd love to hear a more in-depth discussion on this.
I support your inference that omega-3 acids are very important. However, there is a need for a clearer presentation of what we know so far. Not all formulations
of omega-3 have shown to be equally effective. Please look at the JELIS trial in Japan and REDUCE-IT trials that focused on icosapent ethyl (EPA); also how at higher concentrations of EPA (> 2g/day) there is a risk of AFib and bleeding. There is a huge amount of recent activity on EPA within the cardiovascular community and definitely needs to be included in any balanced presentation on omega-3s.
Have been following your channel for a long time now. Always useful and scientifically supported information 👍 thank you!
Ever since your supp video, I’ve been swallowing magnesium, omega 3 and vitamin D.I feel 10x better now.
I have always taken fish oil, but I am warming up to algae oil. As a more sustainable option. Just wish it was cheaper.
May I ask how much does it cost for 1 full gram of EPA/DHA?
Just brilliant! In a nutshell, evidence based scientific research that can change our lives, longevity and well-being. And great debunking of the fear mongering associated with eating fish, seafood and mercury content. Such critically important information and has been shared with family, friends everywhere. Many thanks Rhonda!
Excellent info from Dr. Rhonda Patrick. A bit leery on the Omega-3 offsetting mercury poisoning though.
Personally, I'm a ovo-pescatarian that is mainly plant based. I eat fish 2-3 times per week and eggs when I go out for breakfast. Not a big fan of supplements, though I do take a D3 and on occasion magnesium and B multivitamin. Having said that, it seems that a lot of people should consume an Omega-3 if deficient (as pointed out).
If you take D3, you should consider pairing it with K2. Make sure your B complex doesn't contain folic acid. Opt for folate instead. 😉
@@rossstevens6165 sardines are omnivorous. They eat plankton, including zooplankton .
@@Engrave.Danger Thanks, I guess I just need to stop eating.
@@rossstevens6165 I wouldn't suggest that. I eat them a couple of times a week and minimize omega-6 intake the rest of the week. If you're worried about mercury, spend some time in the sauna and consider supplementing chlorella. 💚

She is very knowledgeable when it comes to supplements.
I wish you would go in depth on the sourcing and supplement quality. The lab grade product used in these studies is not the same as 99.99% of what's sold on the market with all the environmental pollutants and contaminants. Would also be interesting to see you cover algae oil, which would be a direct source of omega-3. Fish do not produce omega-3 so why not discuss marine plants?
The concentration of Omega-3 in marine plants too low. You will need a ton of it every day.
Nordic Naturals is best.
@@RomanMalkov there are tons of algae oil supplements. Unfortunately, no one ever discusses them.

I think historically that when the British French American ships rolled the seven seas these adventurers ate lots of seafood and also opened their eyes to the world creating genius people like Charles Darwin, to Trains Plains and Automobiles electricity grids and computers, that era for the west is now over. China owns most of Australian waters fishing licences while Aussies still get fluoride and other industrial waste nuerotoxins in tap water and forced tainted mrna products while seafood prices locally go through the roof.
Rhonda, what are your thoughts on people like ray peat who claim that polyunsaturated fats cause more harm than good? Would love it if you looked into it. Thank you
Not all polyunsaturated fats are created equal. Check out “The big fat surprise” to gain a better understanding of the fat world.
I second this
Chris masterjohn had an article about this called how essential are the essential fatty acids I believe. His conclusion was that if you have good levels of all the vitamins and minerals that they basically appear to not be essential, or even if they are it’s nearly impossible not to get the amounts required through a varied omnivorous diet. Everyone is so afraid of seed oils because they promote inflammation, and they certainly can, but omega 3’a are even more unstable and prone to oxidation than omega 6’s. Most animals have a more saturated fatty acid profile in their body fat. The reason fish like salmon, trout, sardines etc don’t is because they live in cold water. All the studies on omega 3’s show a mixed bag of results but no improvement in lifespan, and most oils are already oxidized before you ingest them and even if they somehow aren’t they oxidize inside your 98 degree body.
If people were being genuine, they would note that pretty much every meaningful result regarding n-3s is observational. Also, they ignore the observation that there is an interspecies inverse correlation between general DHA and lifespan. *One* study with a monoacylglyceride shows a 14% increase in lifespan in *drosophila*--funded by the patent owner. Evidence is mixed, but Peat emphasizes that n-3 (pufa overall) are inherently sensitive to damage and antagonistic to respiration, which is undeniably true.
Good physician with an informative way to stay healthy. Listen to this physician.
She is not a physician
Thank you for this excellent video, Rhonda.
I would be interested to hear Dr Rhoda Patrick’s take on C15 fatty acid.
Its the new essential fatty acid better than Omega3, Rapamycin, Metamorphin and acarbose
Need to be careful with almonds - although high in Magnesium also very high in Omega 6

Thank you for clearing a very complicated deficiency issue. “Nothing to do with plant based or marine omegas. Everything to do with our own genetic expressions.”
How would “icosapent ethy” interact with the genetic mutations that doesn’t take advantage of the omegas?
Flax seed is very poorly absorbed no matter what. Most people only take in less than 1%. Waste of money.
I have systemic vasculitis. I got the idea of a can of sardines every day from you. Not sure if you explained this but it takes a few weeks for the omega-3's to saturate your cells, just in case people were expecting something immediate. Besides omega-3, my stack includes fisetin, magnesium l-threonate, vit D3 and I'll usually rotate some others in there, such as alpha lipoic acid. As the first responder, I can usually keep this beast at bay, at least until I get the doctors involved.

I'm more inclined to follow Chris Masterjohn regarding fish oil and the balance of AA/DHA. He says EPA is not even required and should be limited as much as possible. DHA and AA resolve inflammation nutritionally whereas EPA acts pharmacologically like a NSAID to inhibit AA metabolism which likely results in many side effects. He says the best and safest approach is to eat liver and/or egg yolks with a small amount of CLO for the DHA, Vitamin A and D.
Crazy. High epa affects my moods for the positive which is supported by studies
What is CLO?
@7:23 "There's also evidence that it's related to cardio vascular related mortality as well".
Effect of omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis (Aug 2021):
"The effects of omega-3 fatty acids (FAs), such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, on cardiovascular outcomes are uncertain".
Can anyone cite a study that shows differently? I'd be interested to find out more, thanks.
I've read research that seems to indicate that optimizing your b vitamin intake helps conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA. So if someone's not getting optimal amounts of folate, b6, b12 etc it tends to inhibit maximal conversion.
Nonetheless, ALA has it's benefits which are unique to ALA, though DHA from fish is your best bet for optimal health.
Surprisingly, many a times labs inducate that those of us who have been megadosing on omega3s in isolation have develiped low levels of omega6 which is also a problem !
Few facts :
1. Your body needs an optimal Balance between omega 3 and omega 6, and NOT very low omega 6.
2. Your body needs Full spectrum omegas and not just omega 3. Full spectrum omega complex will have omegas 3-5-6-7-9-11 !
Thanks for all the great information. If you take Vascepa, which contains only EPA, should you also supplement with DHA? Thanks for your response.
Recently, Dr. Mercola seems to have done a U turn on omega 3s based on George Dinkov and Ray Peat's theories. What do you think?

The trans fats are still in the processed foods. All they did was adjust the serving size so that the amount falls below a serving which allows food manufacturers to keep putting the trans fats in, just like before.
Good point. Same trick is used for Tic Tacs sold as bring “sugar-free”.
Does Krill oil satisfy this need?
Thank you for the info. I grew up getting no Omega 3s. Parents still get none.
Very persuasive and informative video for those who practice ¨How Not to Age¨. I wonder if there is such a thing as eating too much Salmon, like for lunch and dinner, daily. Could that raise your total and LDL cholesterol levels. And isn´t cholesterol responsible for heart attacks and strokes, the leading cause of death. From my limited reading, a total cholesterol level of 150 is better than 200 in maintaining unobstructed arteries . So, is eating fish daily a wise practice.? At home, I eat a vegetarian diet, but while I was on a cruise, I ate salmon as stated above, for 74 days and my cholesterol level increased drastically. Is there something like ¨too much of a good thing¨
Very helpful, excellent slides too
Thanks for the video! How much salmon should someone eat every day to get their Omega 3's up to 8% as you mentioned in the video?
So, am I correct to believe.. if a woman is post- menopausal- and has low to No estrogen.. it is a good idea to supplement a plant based diet with an Omega 3 supplement? Or choose to eat small fatty fish 3x week? Any concerns about link of these Omega 3 supplements to cancer metastasis? (As I heard about a prostate study that linked this)
hi Dr. Patrick, there are some updates on Consumerlab, regarding fish oil supplementation, stating that healthy people (no cardiovascular disease) who supplement fish oil might be at a higher risk (13%) of developing atrial fibrillation and stroke (5%). Any thoughts on that?

@@07Glen28Dr Gil video shows 1000mg is safe.
As a vegetarian for the last 15 years that has always made sure to eat flaxseeds and nuts etc to get enough ALA...
...but I have absolutely no idea of my conversion rate, so I have decided to supplement DHA and EPA with algea supplements on top of what I am already doing.
Thanks for the information.
I’ve gone for walnut, and walnut oil, I find it tastier than algae
Dr. Patrick, do you regard it as generally safe for a person, in overall general good health, to consume wild caught salmon or sardines on a daily basis?
More and more salmon you see for sale and in restaurants are farmed salmon and not fresh caught wild salmon.
I love smoked wild caught salmon with my eggs for breakfast. However, I heard that counted as "processed meat" and was bad for you just like processed deli meats are and you should avoid it. Any thoughts on that?
All meat is processed
Thats ridiculous. Thats a very healthy meal. Everything wont be perfect. We have to do our best.
I am concerned that by saying we need to eat more seafood, the availability of algal-derived DHA/EPA will be overlooked by many, and ecological damage will be multiplied.
The Japanese knew this long ago
I have 2 pet pevees with this. 1st of all, cod liver has a ton of omega 3s, 13g per 100grams ( canned ). Also beef/pork brain has 0.7g/100, you can easily eat 300/500gr per day
Cod liver has too much vitamin A to be a good source of omega 3.
i keep reading that these oils are impossible to store/ship without them going rancid. Do you have an opinion on this?
@@Werepizzaayou do have good quality fish oil, that is processed immediately. Look for Totox values, they measure the amount of oxidized (rancid) oil. I found one in my country that has a value around 5.
They should be packaged airtight, dark, recent production date.
Keep cold, for longer storage perhaps in deep freezer.
If they taste fishy, it's probably rancid.
@@Werepizzaa I don't think that is true, usually it has added vit E specifically for that purpose.
Also i was talking about cod liver not cod liver oil, it tastes great, it's much milder then normal liver and has a good amount of vit A too.
What are your thoughts on the Oofy Doofy Theory?
A pity that in 2013 a big study said that there was a bad relationship between omegas 3 and prostate cancer. Not good. We need more news about that.

Very informative and extremely useful video! Thanks!!! ❤️
There are actually 8 important fatty acids that everyone should be getting from fish oil supplements. Most that you purchase only have two at most 3 of the Omega 3 fatty acids. They are not whole and complete. I only know of one fish on the market that is complete with all 8 of the Omega 3.
didn't list a single one
Thank you, Rhonda. Viewing this video made me take omega-3 supplement
What if someway the pathways for all these vitamins and minerals are blocked they can’t absorb they do. You know good receptor sites are blocked by all kinds of chemicals added to foods and then people over eat their style malnourished
I tried fish oil capsules and they gave me rapid pounding heart beats for hours I’m afraid to try them again
I take a cod liver oil supplement in the morning, and again with my last meal in the evening. My tummy doesn’t like the Fish Oil supplement.
That’s cuz it’s rancid. Eat real food genius
Can you explain why here in Quebec the nutritionist community is telling us that a new study showed and recommends to stop consuming omega-3 supplements?
"...nature is capable..." is funny to hear...
Thank you very much for more from you, ms. Patrick!!!
I consume flaxseed, chia seed, walnuts and then 2gms omega 3 of algae supplement. Do I still need to to consume fish flesh/oil? As my spread covers all the types of this fat? Most farmed fish is supplemented with omega 3 yes?
I think these studies need to take in sustainability into account as well. As not everyone will have access to ‘wild caught’ and the market will be loaded with adulteration like the olive oil market. Fish stocks are depleting and our population is increasing. We need solutions for everyone that don’t wreck the planet.
Dr.Esselstyn did use one teaspoon ground flaxseed for his patients non of them got a second heart attack.High fish oil consumption has been linked to strokes in Greenland
The omega 3 in flaxseed is not bioavailable to us.....that's why we feed it to hens which process it, then they deliver to us in the egg , God's natural order
sounds dumb
Well, if you go to the National Library of Medicine under PubMed and search for article PMC5112685 you will find that they concluded that the cause of the strokes were due to high body fat, being diabetic, and smoking, which was the main contributor to strokes for the tested subjects.

Nice nice valuable info and well explained, thanks❤
Omega 3 from Krill oil and Algae are lower on the food chain.
There is a crisis in our oceans from over fishing. Not sure encouraging people to eat more fish is safe overall.
Mercury poisoning and plastics accumulating in fish is a problem. Farm raised fish are a problem because of their polluted environment and food sources.
Before watching her videos on omega 3, I stocked up on liquid fish oil to save money. Now I'm concerned about oxidation.

For sure you can survive without seafood or omega 3s, but it will increase the risk especially as you get really old, of cardiovascular issues and dementia. It's partially why Okinawans have lower rates of dementia and cardiovascular disease than much of the world.

Cardiologists everywhere are warning of the potential dangers of Omega-3 supplements in causing arrythmia and specifically atrial fibrillation. I had afib ad did an ablation procedure. My cardiologists all say to keep to low dose of Omega-3 given this. They don't think the benefits outweigh the risks, at least in my case. Should we just take up to the dose to get to an Omega-3 index of 8%, unless we get Afib, and then back off in some way? Thanks so much.
Good question. Hope Dr Patrick answers it.
The studies on that were not done on omega 3 supplements but rather fish oil supplements. No non-fish supplements were included in the meta analysis that found those results. Only fish-derived ones. Are omega 3 supplements from plants (algae) safe?
Cardiologists everywhere? Not sure if that is the case. One recent study suggested that fish oil supplements are associated with a significantly greater risk of atrial fibrillation in patients at elevated cardiovascular risk. Obviously if you have heart issues this is something you want to discuss with your cardiologist, as you have in your case.
@@steve9189 I'd be grateful for more detail on this as I knew nothing about it. I've been taking a fish oil supplement for a very long time now (30yrs+) and in 2009 was diagnosed as having AFib which meant I was put on Warfarin which I still take. Help me Rhonda ! Help, help me Rhonda !
