Dietary Omega-3/6 Balance: New Research Links Fatty Acid Ratios to Chronic Disease and Longevity
New research reveals countries with high omega-3 consumption enjoy 2.63 extra years of healthy life expectancy compared to nations with typical Western diets. Groundbreaking clinical evidence shows omega-6 fatty acids increase inflammatory markers while omega-3s counteract these effects. Your starting omega-3/6 baseline significantly impacts how your body responds to dietary interventions, offering new insights for personalized nutrition approaches.
The Missing Link in Medicine: How the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) could Revolutionize Healthcare
Why isn’t the endocannabinoid system (ECS) taught in medical schools? This ancient system regulates hunger, pain, metabolism, and immunity—and it’s under attack from processed foods and outdated education. Learn how omega-6 fats disrupt the ECS, drive chronic disease, and what we can do to fix healthcare. Share this video to…
