“Omega-3s are ultimately a health-contributing fat that helps your body return to its homeostasis. They need to be in balance with omega-6s because if they aren’t, you’ll have inflammatory systems that run out of control.”
“Try to avoid all the trans fats, limit your saturated fats, and you’ll be a lot more healthy than the run-of-the-mill person.”
“Generally speaking, if you haven’t taken an omega-3 supplement, you are likely deficient.”
“EPA and DHA — these powerful omega-3s are so involved with our brain health, they’re so involved with our emotional health, also. So there are claims you can make around EPA with regard to impacting mood health.”
“Too much of almost anything can be a bad thing. So be reasonable and be balanced.”
