  • 80% of people globally (and ~95% of people in the US) don't get enough EPA & DHA. Why does this matter? For one, just as many deaths per year are attributable to trans fans as they are to not consuming enough EPA/DHA. Other key benefits of EPA/DHA include reduced inflammation (a key driver of the aging process) and protection against disuse atrophy.
    In this video, expect to learn why it's a huge mistake for pregnant women to avoid fish, why having a low omega-3 intake is comparable to smoking, and more.

    My girlfriend’s grandma (age 96) & great aunt (99) grew up in Newfoundland and fish was the primary souce of protein throughout their lives. Her grandma passed last year but her great aunt still lives alone and is very independent. I’m amazed that she has all her mental faculties and can hold conversations recalling stories of her younger years.

    In 2008 I started getting some hip pain in my left hip. It soon began in my right hip. I asked my GP about it and he said "let me know when it gets bad enough and we will schedule your hip replacement surgery." The pain gradually got worse til in 2013 it was bad enough that I quit a hike and came home early. I figured it would get debilitating so I wanted to have one more good volcano season first. So I started taking new supplements that would help my strength and stamina. In early 2014 I noticed that my hip pain was gone. I had a great season hiking 260 miles, 75,000 feet & some great volcanos. After volcano season I stopped all my new supplements. My hip pain came back. I started resuming them one at a time to see which cured my hip pain. It was EPA/DHA. I took EPA/DHA for a year. No hip pain. I stopped EPA/DHA. The pain came back. I resumed EPA/DHA. It is now 2024. I am 74 years old and still have no hip pain. I am taking pills that have 500mg of EPA and 250mg of DHA, 4 per day. I have tried several brands. They all work.

    when I was younger my stepdad was a commercial fisherman so we ate fish all of the time, and the best quality too. We ate fish majority of nights including clams, crabs and so on, in retrospect when I think about those times I remember how I was at the top of my class, never dealt with depression/anxiety (even though life wasn’t so easy) & I also had great blood work. I was 10-16 at this time. Now I’m 21, eat seafood maybe once a month or less and feel like I notice a change and it’s much harder for me to do well in school, stay focused, bloodwork is wacky, interesting to say the least. Not sure if there’s a connection but gonna make sure I get my fish oil in at least

    I would be very curious to see a podcast episode specifically on inflammation in the body.
    I say this because, while I am aware of the literature linking chronic inflammation with reduced lifespan, inflammation also plays a role in processes like muscle hypertrophy, which is shown to positively correlate to lifespan.
    Is it the chronic nature of inflammation that makes it reduce lifespan? And if so, would it be reasonable to assume that chronic resistance training without enough recovery would actually be detrimental to lifespan via inflammation effects?
    I'd love to hear a more in-depth discussion on this.

    I support your inference that omega-3 acids are very important. However, there is a need for a clearer presentation of what we know so far. Not all formulations
    of omega-3 have shown to be equally effective. Please look at the JELIS trial in Japan and REDUCE-IT trials that focused on icosapent ethyl (EPA); also how at higher concentrations of EPA (> 2g/day) there is a risk of AFib and bleeding. There is a huge amount of recent activity on EPA within the cardiovascular community and definitely needs to be included in any balanced presentation on omega-3s.

Besides omega-3, my stack includes fisetin, magnesium l-threonate, vit D3 and I'll usually rotate some others in there, such as alpha lipoic acid.

    Very persuasive and informative video for those who practice ¨How Not to Age¨. I wonder if there is such a thing as eating too much Salmon, like for lunch and dinner, daily. Could that raise your total and LDL cholesterol levels. And isn´t cholesterol responsible for heart attacks and strokes, the leading cause of death. From my limited reading, a total cholesterol level of 150 is better than 200 in maintaining unobstructed arteries . So, is eating fish daily a wise practice.? At home, I eat a vegetarian diet, but while I was on a cruise, I ate salmon as stated above, for 74 days and my cholesterol level increased drastically. Is there something like ¨too much of a good thing¨

      Chris masterjohn had an article about this called how essential are the essential fatty acids I believe. His conclusion was that if you have good levels of all the vitamins and minerals that they basically appear to not be essential, or even if they are it’s nearly impossible not to get the amounts required through a varied omnivorous diet. Everyone is so afraid of seed oils because they promote inflammation, and they certainly can, but omega 3’a are even more unstable and prone to oxidation than omega 6’s. Most animals have a more saturated fatty acid profile in their body fat. The reason fish like salmon, trout, sardines etc don’t is because they live in cold water. All the studies on omega 3’s show a mixed bag of results but no improvement in lifespan, and most oils are already oxidized before you ingest them and even if they somehow aren’t they oxidize inside your 98 degree body.

      If people were being genuine, they would note that pretty much every meaningful result regarding n-3s is observational. Also, they ignore the observation that there is an interspecies inverse correlation between general DHA and lifespan. *One* study with a monoacylglyceride shows a 14% increase in lifespan in *drosophila*--funded by the patent owner. Evidence is mixed, but Peat emphasizes that n-3 (pufa overall) are inherently sensitive to damage and antagonistic to respiration, which is undeniably true.

The reason fish have omega three is cause they eat algae which produce them, but then fish often have heavy metals in them and sometimes they swim through antibiotics and what not in the places where they are farmed so no thank you, I’ll stick with my algae based omega 3 supplement.

    I'm more inclined to follow Chris Masterjohn regarding fish oil and the balance of AA/DHA. He says EPA is not even required and should be limited as much as possible. DHA and AA resolve inflammation nutritionally whereas EPA acts pharmacologically like a NSAID to inhibit AA metabolism which likely results in many side effects. He says the best and safest approach is to eat liver and/or egg yolks with a small amount of CLO for the DHA, Vitamin A and D.
