ADVICE

Cell Membrane Health

  • Prioritize cell membrane health, as it's foundational to overall health.
  • Use exogenous phospholipids and fatty acids to repair and restore cell membranes, especially mitochondrial membranes.
INSIGHT

Fish Oil Dangers

  • High-dose fish oil supplementation can suppress omega-6s due to enzyme competition.
  • This can lead to demyelination, especially when omega-3 levels are high and omega-6s are low.
ADVICE

Omega-3 Sources

  • Prioritize whole food sources of omega-3s like wild-caught salmon and oysters.
  • If supplementing, use a whole food form of fish oil in lower doses to avoid oxidation and ensure proper DHA positioning.
