Ever wondered if everything you've been told about plant-based omega-3 is true? In this episode of The Wellness Messiah Podcast, Rimon, a metabolic researcher with 15 years of experience, dives into the real story behind plant omega-3s. He explains why popular sources like walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds might not be as beneficial as you think. Rimon discusses the differences between active forms of omega-3 (EPA and DHA) found in marine sources and the inactive forms found in plants.
He highlights how our bodies convert these inactive forms and why men and women differ in their conversion efficiency due to factors like estrogen. Rimon also sheds light on the competition between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and how high consumption of omega-6 can hinder the conversion process. He doesn't just stop at plant sources; he also covers algae oil, its benefits, and its downsides compared to fish oil.
Rimon provides practical advice on how to ensure you're getting enough active omega-3s, whether through diet or supplements. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of how to optimise your omega-3 intake for better health. So, are you ready to rethink your omega-3 sources and make more informed choices for your wellbeing?
