Love this video Dr. Majd! Thank you!
My wife does salmon an easy way. Skin side down, a light layer of mayo on the top and sprinkle with rosemary, dill and whatever catches your fancy. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil and bake. I forget how long but somewhere around 20 minutes. Considering some eat salmon raw, level of cooking is to your desire.
Easy bachelor meal: 1 can wild salmon, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, lemon pepper and dill. Best "meat salad" on Earth, imo.
Nova Lox, Avacado, flatbread and a runny egg on top.
Some of us either cant afford or dont have time to include varieties of foods into our diets sadly.

You answered my question. Thank you!!
Is it necessary to take fish oil and take marine collagen at the sametime?
After lasik I've got dry eyes and just taking over counter suppliment could help it .howmuch ever natural diet I had just didnot work.
Thanks for the great video, doc!! I've seen articles stating fish oil is better than cod liver oil. I guess fish oil is extracted from the general flesh and not from liver of the fish. Is there any truth this? Can you please explain?
The salmon fish oil produced from Esmond Natural's manufacturer have the same fatty oil and omega 3 contents similar to mackerel fish?
You are awesome & thank you
What a kind message to receive -- thank YOU for watching!
Taking over the counter Omega-3 from fish oil supplements (i.e. containing both EPA and DHA), in addition to Alpha-Lipoic Acid (in addition to exercise and intermittent fasting) my triglycerides and fasting blood glucose are EXTREMELY LOW. My HDL rose 10 points, but LDL also rose somewhat. However, without an NMR lipo-profile blood test, I cannot know whether the LDL is is the safe "big and fluffy" kind or if there are lots of small oxidized LDL particles. But more than likely, since blood sugar is low, I don't have many small oxidized LDL particles. I try to eat fish when I can, but taking Omega 3 fish oil softgels is a pretty convenient way to get a good dose of Omega 3 consistently. (It's hard to say it was specifically from the high dose of Omega 3 I've been taking, but HDL went up 10 points, and LDL up 25 points, 3 months after I started taking them, so those seem pretty significant to me.)
Thank you!
Thank you! Hope it was useful :)
NO FRIED FISH!!!! I have family members that believe any fish, even fried, is great brain medicine! 🙅♀️
Yes, fried is not ideal :(
@Mikael Vitaly I saw you on another video. No one knows who the fuck this doctor is and it’s just one persons opinion.
Some people believe the earth is flat
But it taste good tho
Not even fried in olive oil?
Thank you so much

Hi! 2x a week only? No need to take it everyday? Thanks
is it benefits for skin?
This channel is actually great!
Comments like this make my day -- thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
Does anybody know if there's a difference between fish oil and cod liver oil? And if no difference what is the benefit between one over the other? I went to Duane Reade to pickup my first bottle of fish oil but then saw these two side by side and couldn't decide which to buy, I have been hearing good things about these two for years so I figured I'd do some research on which is better so I can go purchase a bottle of either one.
Cod liver only have the added vitamin A and D. But it contains less omega 3 than regular fish oil.
Me and my husband are fish oil lover. We take fish oil everyday. We put fish to our weekly diet like salmon aside from taking fish oil supplements. It is good for the brain.
I have read conflicted opinions on the reaction of fish oil, (supplements) with Lamotrigine. Do you know if this is a fact?
Hey, can 16 year old boy take Spring Valley Omega 3 of 2000 combined DHA and EPA?
Thanks doctor
My pleasure!
Can anyone tell me can taking these vitamins help with your skin?
Dr. Majd, I just subscribed to your channel. :)
Any chance you can do another video on the good types of omega-3? I hear some brands are misleading containing other ingredients, which are harmful for our body.
Thank you for subscribing and watching :) I'll add that to my list -- thank you for the suggestion!

My mother is 61 and she is considering taking multi vitamins and Fish oil tablets. Are flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts alone are good to go?
I've been reading a book on nutrition and what Ive came across (reading about fats) was that "trained athletes may not benefit from supplementation because their anti-inflammatory responses are already enhanced sufficiently as a natural response to their training.
While sever inflammation may impair healing, complete suppression of the inflammatory response may also reduce the effectiveness of the body’s normal pair and adaptation process; therefore, there is insufficient evidence to support supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids to suppress acute inflammation."

Hi newbie here.watching from Philippines
Welcome! And thank you for watching!
I'm a little confused at the start you say omega-3s are needed for proper brain, heart and eye function. But later you highlight that the studies show very limited benefits. So which is it? If I dont get any Omega-3s would I die? Thanks.
I have to take supplements during winter. Not everyone lives next to a whole foods. I'm up isolated in the mountains mainly living off stocked up groceries. Can't get anything fresh during these times.
Then it doesn’t apply to you. Get the supplements if that works for you.
Please, does it make a difference taking the usual three capsules at once or is it fundamental to take them separately?
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM DOSAGE OF FISH OIL PER DAY. HOW MANY MGS?
Thank you for the video ..but one thing I want to comment on ,taking supplement it’s not a waste of money ,because our food are depleted from all the vitamins and minerals we can just depend on our food.
Informative and funny! I laughed at the fast forward clip! I take 2000 mg of Vascepa every day, very expensive! I should try to eat more fish, I unfortunately got very sick eating fish at a restaurant about a year ago and have been afraid to eat any more fish. I really must give my local fish market a try. I have consumed chia seeds and do enjoy them. Thanks again for sharing the great wisdom. It's much appreciated!
Jim The Mechanic Thank YOU for the very kind words, for watching, and for sharing your experience! Grateful :)

I was looking at salmon at Costco but it said farm raised, makes me a little nervous. Any advice?
In my nutrition class in college the professor asked everybody in the class to eat as perfectly as they could for the entire week and write down everything they ate. At the end of the week we all tallied the nutrition from each day. Not a single person got a 100% rda of everything for any single day. Also in doing research on single vitamins such as Vitamin D (latest covid research), many studies have found a good portion of the population is deficient or insuficient in many vitatims. I work in a hospital lab, we test for some vitamins (like D) and a recent search for our D test show every person tested was D deficient. I disagree on supplimentation for that reason. As for Omega, I love sardines. (highest omega and lowest mercury content of any fish) I just eat them when nobody else is around. lol
That sounds like a very interesting class! My Q to you is this - just because you test “low” on Vitamin D, it doesn’t mean it’s clinically significant. Also, expert groups do not agree on what “normal” Vitamin D threshold is (20 vs 30). Just some food for thought :)
@@MajdMD Many at my place are testing below 20, some below 10. Some of the covid an D studies I've seen show below 30 has an increased risk of infection. Some suggest that levels above 50 even have benefits over 30. There really does need to be some unity on D levels. My personal feeling is 30 should be the min to shoot for.
Brilliant Video. I have recently started taking Omega 3 Fish Oils 1000mg, for about a month. I only just realised I used to have a very slight issue with sight from time to time like a slight blurriness. I just thought was maybe due to tiredness, fatigue, I didn't pay it much mind, but I'm thinking my sight feels really good like quite strong now, defined or maybe more focused I should say. Not sure this is a direct effect of the Omega 3 Fish Oils but it really could be.
It most likely is a cause from the fish oil your taking
Same here, I have been taking them for two weeks and notice my knees legs and wrist haven't been hurting as much, I was sleeping of heating pads every night from joint pains.
I have been avoiding supplements for years. The reason was exactly as what the Dr mentioned in her video. You can take all these nutrients with your food. But now i have been having dry skin for almost 1 year. I lack focus during work and my body just became exhausted after work and most of the day I just lie down until bed time. I am exercise like twice a week tho but I am just keep on being tired. I think I will start taking supplements and see if it helps
@@user-fi6hu3py3i Having perfectly healthy meals everyday is quite difficult.
Supplements definitely help.
Good luck!
@@user-fi6hu3py3i I hope you have started. They definitely bring about significant results. Ignore this doctor's dismissive attitude.
I am starting to take Wild Alaskian Fish oil for inflammation and thyroid health.
What about cod liver oil? in the Liquid form?
I’m turning 30 and I don’t like fish and I’ve just started a vegetarian diet, what do you suggest as a substitute to taking the omega 3 pills?
Can I consume Omega 3 & Phosphatidylserine together? 😥😥
if i'm not able to maintain a healthy balanced diet in my current situation, do you think taking a multivitamin and some fish oil is a good idea? i bought them because i realized my diet wasn't the best, and i didn't want to miss out on being healthy. i hope i didn't make a mistake :/
Probably -- however, it's hard to say since i don't have your medical records. Make sure to review it with your doctor to determine what your nutritional needs may be and which supplements may be worthwhile to take. Always best to get nutrients from your diet, however.
Very nice 👍
Thank you, glad it was useful in any way!
It's extremely difficult to find fresh wild caught fish in Ontario, so I take Kirkland wild salmon oil. If I lived somewhere like Newfoundland, NWT, or BC I would eat fresh fish. Farmed fish is gross.
Just as hard to get fresh fish in Newfoundland these days.
What do you mean, there’s rainbow trout? It’s a lake grown fish which has benefits compared to dirty ocean water. And you could get farmed or wild
I've seen lots of comments like "Take Omega-3 containing at least 250mg of EPA + DHA" @4:40. The labels on the supplement bottles always list EPA xxmg and DHA xxmg, and total Omega 3 fatty acids xxmg (which is usually more than the EPA and DHA added together). My question is, "at least 250mg of. EPA + DHA" -- is that 250mg of EACH, or 250mg of the two added together, so for example 125mg + 125mg? Thanks. This has always confused me.
Please answer. Can I take omega 3s supps while I'm taking hypertension medications?
Ask your doctor.
That sped up high voice. LOL!! Thank you. I will increase my1 gram fish tabs to 3/day.

H A F I Z A K M A L There’s no evidence that it improves concentration and focus :(
It does improve focus and concentration that’s why children who have autism disorder take omega 3 supplements because it helps a lot with focus
Will a Fish-filet from Mc Donald’s count to obtain these omega 3 acids?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaa
0.7 grams omega 3. 5.1g omega 6. So yes.

I work at McDonalds and I recommend you don’t have filet or fish often or much McDonald’s in general 💀💀
I am a body builder and i have been reading many different articles does fish oil really have any effect on aiding with muscle strength and range of motion depending on how much you take daily and can it reduce muscle soreness as well ?
I recommend getting more potassium if you work out.
We already need alot per day and if you work out you're gonna need a little more. Helps with cramps,fatigue.
I eat salmon once a week for the heart health benefit. I used to take fish oil supplements, but I didn’t like the taste, which stayed with me for hours after taking it. I switched over to krill oil from Costco, and it works much better for me in that regard. However, it is lower than your recommended dosage, containing only 60 EPA and 30 DHA. I wonder now if it’s even worth it.
aletabird Salmom twice a week would be ideal but if unable to, the combo you’re taking is probably sufficient. Maybe I’d add some walnuts and chia seeds in there. Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience! :)

What's your thoughts on taking prenatal vitamins?
can you clarify? prenatal vitamins are often advised for those planning on becoming pregnant, those who are pregnant, and those who are breastfeeding.
@@MajdMD yes. You said that you don't favor vitamins and people can get a normal intake of nutrients from their food. If I just did that, would I need to take prenatal vitamins during pregnancy?
@@adecuire6601 Ideally, yes -- but if you were to go that route, i'd make sure to meet with a licensed dietician to make certain, b/c pregnant women require extra nutrients and calories and the prenatal vitamin is to make certain they reach their goals.

Hypothyroid meds should be taken on empty stomach ideally. So for most people i would suggest not taking them at the same time. Just run it by your doctor to make sure it doesn't interact with anything else you're taking.
take ashwagandha for hypothyroidism

Shashi Beula it shouldn’t have anything to do with those issues. But it’s always best to get it in your diet if you can.
