INSIGHT

Omega Ratio Reveals Low Omega‑3 Intake

  • A healthy omega-6:omega-3 ratio is about 2:1 to 3:1 and up to 5:1 is acceptable.
  • Kristen's ratio of 8.5 indicates low omega-3 intake rather than necessarily excessive unhealthy foods.
INSIGHT

AA:EPA Ratio Links To Inflammation

  • Arachidonic acid (AA) to EPA ratio shows pro-inflammatory load; AA drives prostaglandin-mediated inflammation.
  • Kristen's AA:EPA of 13.2 is high and likely contributes to migraines and inflammatory symptoms.
ADVICE

Reduce Roasted Nuts To Lower Omega‑6s

  • Cut back on daily roasted nuts and trail‑mix-type snacks since they raise omega-6 intake.
  • Swap roasted nuts for slivered almonds, pecans, macadamia, or reduce portion to ~2–3 tablespoons daily.
