Omega 3's Made Simple

A Moment with Dr. Isabel MD - Omega 3 Made Simple!

Hi! In this coaching session, I'm going to answer a question to help you make omega 3 simple so that you can understand it, okay?

Now I had a question from a tribe member at Doctor on a Mission and she asked me, “Hey Doc, can I eat walnuts, flaxseed, chia, hemp, soy to get all of my omega 3’s?” That is a brilliant question and I completely understand where she’s coming from.

Now I’d like to talk to you about omega 3’s and I will answer that question, I promise. But before, we’ve got to have a little lesson in omega 3’s.

Now omega 3’s consist of 3 omegas, and they are ALA, EPA and DHA. Can you see that? Alright.

Now, we as human beings, have a very poor system in allowing ALA which is your walnut, your flaxseeds, your chia, your hemp and your soy that’s all in this area, they’re all ALA’s. They don’t—they’re not very good, whoops. That’s a big X. they’re not very good at being converted into EPA and DHA which is your main omega 3’s that we need to be eating, okay?

So the answer to the question is: No, you can’t by eating just walnuts, flaxseeds, chia, hemp and soy to get all your omega 3’s because that’s right here and our bodies do not convert them into EPA and DHA. And this is 70% of what we need in our brain.

Did you know that 70% of your brain is swimming in EPA and DHA? That blows my mind.

So the goal is to make sure you’re having 2 - 3 grams, that’s 2,000 – 3,000 milligrams. 2 – 3 grams of omega 3’s every day and you can find that in cold water fish or free-range organic eggs, okay?

So I hope that helps. Make sure you got your brains swimming in those beautiful omega 3’s so you can think clearly and respond to life and be vibrant. Have a great outlook on life, okay? I take my omega 3’s that’s for sure.

Alright, have a wonderful day. Go out there and make a difference, love unconditionally, and forgive frequently, okay?

Bye.
