Episode Description
In today’s show, I break down a quick, at-home finger-prick called the OmegaQuant Test. This simple kit measures the balance between your omega-3 “good guys” and omega-6 “bad guys.” When that balance is off, hidden inflammation can spread from your gut to your brain.
What You’ll Learn
- Why inflammation is the soil where disease grows
- How the OmegaQuant Test works:
- Checks omega-3 levels in red blood cells
- Shows your omega-6 : omega-3 ratio
- Flags arachidonic acid (the most fiery omega-6)
- Real-life case study:
- Severe heartburn, fatigue, and brain fog vanished in 6 weeks after fixing low omega-3s
- EPA vs. DHA—who helps what?
- EPA calms joints, organs, and blood vessels
- DHA protects your brain and nerves
Easy Visuals
- Picture your cells as soft jelly donuts when omega-3s are high—flexible and clean.
- Without them, cells turn stale and crusty, trapping toxins inside.
Take-Home Tips
- Aim for an omega-3 level of 10–12 % and a ratio of 3 : 1 or lower.
- Add a high-quality fish-oil blend of EPA + DHA to hit both body and brain.
Call to Action
Grab the OmegaQuant Test for about $48, mail it in, and get clear numbers on your hidden inflammation. Then join me as we map out a simple plan to cool the fire and feel like yourself again!
