Most people think omega-3s come down to one thing: a fish oil capsule and a heart health claim. The real story goes much deeper.
Dr. Jeffrey Bland, widely regarded as the father of functional medicine, joins Dr. Ronald Hoffman for a conversation that reframes omega-3 nutrition from the ground up. From the landmark Greenland Inuit research that first put fish oils on the map, to the emerging science of immunometabolism and how omega-3s support immune resilience and healthy aging, this episode connects the dots that most supplement labels never will.
The conversation moves well beyond EPA and DHA. Hear why the source and quality of your fish oil matters, what minimally processed oils preserve that highly refined versions strip away, and how naturally occurring nutrients like vitamins A and D, astaxanthin, pro resolving mediators, and specialized lipids play a direct role in how your body ages and feels every day.
