🌊 A Relatable Story – The Fog Behind the Fatigue

Derek, a 45-year-old consultant, wasn’t sleeping well. He had brain fog, joint aches, and his mood snapped for no reason. Doctors couldn’t find anything wrong.

Then a functional health test revealed his omega-6 to omega-3 ratio was 28:1 (ideal is 2:1–4:1). His body wasn’t failing. It was inflamed.

With simple changes—olive oil instead of seed oils, fatty fish 2x a week, and omega-3 supplements—things shifted fast.

πŸ’¬ “I didn’t need medication. I needed balance.”

πŸ‘©‍⚕️ Expert Dialogue: Why Omega-3s Matter More Than You Think

Dr. Asha Malik, Integrative Cardiologist:

“Omega-3s—especially EPA and DHA—are essential for more than heart health. They modulate inflammation, protect neurons, and improve emotional resilience.”

“Most people today have a 20:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, which drives chronic inflammation. I often see patients with joint pain, eczema, brain fog, and fatigue—all linked to this imbalance.”

“Correcting the ratio can lift symptoms without medication. Think sharper thinking, less reactivity, smoother skin, and better joint comfort.”

“Nutrition isn’t an add-on. It’s foundational biochemistry.”

πŸ€” FAQ – Omega-3 Essentials

Q1: What’s better—fish oil or flaxseed oil?

→ Fish oil gives direct EPA/DHA. Flax (ALA) must convert, which is inefficient (~5%).

Q2: Can I get too much omega-3?

→ Up to 3g/day is safe. Over 5g may affect clotting. Stick with 1–2g unless otherwise advised.

Q3: What are vegan-friendly options?

→ Algae-based EPA/DHA oils, plus flax, chia, walnuts for ALA.

Q4: When will I notice a difference?

→ Mental clarity/mood: 2–4 weeks. Skin/joint improvements: 6–8 weeks.

Q5: Should I test my omega levels?

→ Yes! Ask for an Omega-3 Index blood test. A score of 8%+ is ideal.
