Most people focus on protein and supplements, but few understand the one fat your brain truly needs. In this episode, we explain why Omega-3 is essential for brain health, memory retention, inflammation control, and long-term cognitive longevity.
We break down the difference between Omega-3 vs Omega-6, how chronic inflammation accelerates brain aging, and why excess Omega-6 may contribute to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, neuropathy, and cognitive decline.
You’ll also learn:
• The ideal Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio
• Why most diets increase inflammation
• DHA vs EPA — which one your brain actually needs
• Food sources vs supplements (and dosage guidance)
