SHR # 2650:: Omega 3 Levels Help Heart Recovery After Training + What Doctors Don't Understand About Thyroid Hormone - Dr. William Harris - Carl Lanore - The Fatty Acid Research Institute (FARI) has published a new research paper in conjunction with The Cooper Institute on omega-3s and heart rate recovery. Omega-3 fatty acids have a long history of being "heart healthy" but exactly why and how has been less clear. They are known to lower serum triglyceride levels, but the effect is relatively small and it's not clear how much of a risk factor high triglyceride levels is in the first place. So how do the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA work to be protective? A recent study from the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study (CCLS) and FARI sheds new light on this question. PLUS Omega 3's and death from COVID-19. This new study shows a link to Omega 3 status and the likelihood of dying from this virus. PLUS One of the first things a doctor will prescribe in HRT is thyroid hormone. They tell their patients it will increase energy and help with fat loss. But the truth is physicians really don't understand how thyroid hormone works. And while it may improve fat loss it will not improve energy. In fact it will sap energy and cause hair loss. Here's why.
