Can fish oil really transform your health? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Charles Sefcik, a board-certified chiropractic neurologist and certified clinical nutritionist, to explore one of the most powerful and underrated tools in functional medicine: omega-3s. We break down how EPA and DHA support your brain, hormones, metabolism, and inflammation pathways—and why most people aren’t getting nearly enough from food alone. We also share what to look for in a quality fish oil supplement, how to avoid common pitfalls like oxidation and poor sourcing, and why testing your fatty acid levels can make all the difference. Packed with clinical insight and real-world advice, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to use nutrition as a foundation for long-term health

Key Takeaways:
  • Omega-3 fatty acids are critical for cell membrane fluidity, reducing inflammation, and enhancing cognitive function.

  • Fish oil quality matters; choose supplements devoid of contaminants like mercury and PCBs and go for third-party certified products.

  • Omega-3s have a profound impact on reducing neuroinflammation and supporting hormone function, influencing overall brain health and longevity.

  • Regular testing, like the OmegaQuant, can provide valuable insights into your fatty acid balance, guiding effective supplementation and dietary adjustments.

  • Combining omega-3 supplements with a healthy diet and lifestyle can prevent chronic diseases, promote muscle synthesis, and ensure optimum brain health.
