The Lowdown on Omega-3 for Brain & Body

My podcast guest today is a legend in the world of omega-3.

Dr Bill Harris is Professor in the Department of Medicine in the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota. He has been a front runner in measuring omega-3 status and developed the omega-3 index, running studies on the effects of omega-3, with more than 300 published pieces of research to date, backed by five National Institutes of Health grants. Perhaps best known for his expertise in relation to omega-3 and heart health.

He obtained his PhD doctorate in Human Nutrition from the University of Minnesota and did post-doctoral fellowships in Clinical Nutrition and Lipid Metabolism with Dr Bill Connor at the Oregon Health Sciences University back in the 1980’s. He has had his finger on the pulse of omega-3 research ever since.

In this podcast, we are discussing his latest study on omega-3 status as a predictor of Alzheimer’s and  dementia risk.
