E406. Most Omega 3s Are Garbage — Here's How to Tell - Walk-Ins Welcome

Bridget Phetasy sits down with Max Marion - founder of one of the highest-potency Omega-3 companies in the world, AquaOmega — for a deep dive into why Omega-3s might be the single most important supplement almost nobody is taking correctly. Max explains why less than 2% of North Americans get enough Omega-3s, how our seed-oil-soaked diets flooded us with inflammation, and why most fish oil on the shelf is cheaply made, oxidized, and processed with industrial solvents — including a live Styrofoam cup test that shows exactly what those solvents do. They get into the difference between EPA and DHA, why you can't get enough nutrients from food anymore, Omega-3s and pregnancy, anxiety, sleep and brain health, and how Max sourced supplement production after touring the disturbing underbelly of the industry. Plus: his ocean plastic passion project pulling a pound of debris for every bottle sold, microplastics in our water and food, and how to actually navigate the wellness industry without getting scammed.

AquaOmega: One of the highest-dose omega-3 supplements per serving, no fish burps, and for every bottle sold, removes 1 lb. of plastic and debris from the ocean and coastlines. Use code BRIDGET for 20% off at https://myaquaomega.com/BRIDGET
