But did you know that over 90% of the population has suboptimal omega-3 levels?\\xa0\\nToday on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Bill Harris, a world-renowned researcher, to discuss the decades of research he has conducted on omega-3s, and its correlation to longer life spans, reduced rates of depression, anxiety, and Alzheimer\\u2019s, and reducing chronic inflammation. Dr. Harris shares that omega-3 is one of the most researched nutrients and one of the top three nutrients that can drastically improve our health.\\xa0Dr. Harris shares his findings on what to look for in consuming quality fish, supplements, optimal levels, and how to test your levels via the OmegaQuant Institute.\\nWilliam S. Harris, PhD, FASN, has been a leading researcher in the omega-3 fatty acid field for 40 years. He has over 300 scientific papers on fatty acids and health, has been on the faculty of three medical schools, and received 5 NIH grants to study omega-3. He co-authored three AHA statements on fatty acids and heart health. As the co-inventor of the Omega-3 Index (and other omega-3 blood tests) and founder of OmegaQuant Analytics, Dr. Harris has been ranked among the top 2% of scientists worldwide based on the impact of his research.\\xa0\\nIn this episode, Dhru and Dr. Harris dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version):\\n\\nHigher levels of omega-3\\u2019s lead to a longer life (2:30 / 2:30)\\n\\nOmega-3s are in the top three nutrients that can improve our health (5:12 / 5:12)\\n\\nMindblowing research on smokers and the protective nature of omega-3s (9:21 / 8:00)\\n\\nHigh levels of omega-3s and their correlation to reducing the risk for dementia and Alzheimer\\u2019s (18:31 / 17:11)\\n\\nThe research behind omega-3\\u2019s and reducing chronic inflammation (22:42 / 21:22)\\xa0\\n\\nThe average omega-3 levels versus optimal levels (24:55\\xa0/ 23:35)\\xa0\\n\\nWhat are EPA, DHA, and ALA, and the sources of each (35:02 / 31:46)\\xa0\\n\\nHow much fish consumption is optimal, and what kind (43:01 / 39:39)\\n\\nTesting your levels via the Omega-3 index and optimal ranges (46:49 / 43:27)\\n\\nAlgae-based oils and their impact on levels (56:04 / 52:34)\\n\\nChoosing the right fish oil and general dosage (59:15 / 55:54)\\n\\nTimeframe to reach optimal levels (1:15:30 / 1:12:26)\\n\\nWhy the omega-3s aren\\u2019t being tested for and prescribed by every doctor (1:24:25 / 1:21:04 )\\n\\n\\nAlso mentioned in this episode:\\n\\nTesting via OmegaQuant\\n\\n\\nFatty Acid Research Insitute\\xa0\\n\\n\\nThis episode is brought to you by Bioptimizers and Momentous.\\xa0\\nStart the New Year off right and dial in on your sleep.
