Over the last 30 years, the question over whether omega-3 fatty acids from fish has been the subject of controversy, swinging from exuberance over its potential benefits to skepticism over whether they provide any benefit at all. It seems that one day we hear that fish oil reduces risk for heart attack, while the next day we hear that there is no such benefit, even harm. We've also been subjected to numerous marketing claims for competing products with claims such as “40 times more potent than fish oil” or “You can't buy this in a health food store” that further muddy the waters. So let's review all that we have learned over the past 3 decades to decipher just what role, if any, omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil should play in your program to regain or maintain magnificent health. We dive into the history and outcomes of landmark studies like GISSI-Prevenzione, OMEGA Remodel, and REDUCE-IT, which have left researchers and medical professionals both excited and perplexed. Discover how high-dose EPA might just be the key to reversing coronary atherosclerosis, as outlined in the EVAPORATE trial. Join us as we dissect the data and reveal why omega-3s are more than just a fleeting trend; they could be a cornerstone of heart health backed by decades of research.Learn about different forms of fish oil supplements, and how the absorption rates can vary, cutting through the marketing jargon that often exaggerates their potency. Personalization is key, and we discuss how the RBC omega-3 index can offer tailored dosing advice. With a recommended daily intake of 3,600 milligrams, omega-3s promise noticeable improvements, but patience is needed as it takes about three months to reach a steady state.

Clark Stanley was a silver-tongued Texas cowboy who called himself the ‘Rattlesnake King'. Back in the late 19th century, he wasn't the first charlatan going from town to town in the American West, hawking quack products -- during this time when patent medicines were gaining popularity, American consumers could buy all sorts of fraudulent snake oil products like his. But Clark had a certain flair. A certain charisma and showmanship others didn't. And, for a few years, he really was the Rattlesnake King -- and king of the snake oil salesmen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
