Are you one among the 1 in 5 Americans grappling with chronic pain, as reported by the CDC [1]?

How does nutrition impact COVID-19? That’s a question many people have pondered since the pandemic reared its ugly head in 2020. Two years later, the topic is just as relevant. Experts agree that COVID-19 will likely be with us for years to come. And be it COVID-19 or other diseases, the world needs more ways […]

As a public health nurse in the 1960s, my mother cared for many unwed, pregnant teenagers. As I was growing up, she gave me the impression that “just looking at a boy” would land me in the same boat. My attitude changed in medical school while I was working at a fertility clinic. During this […]

I nearly choked when I read the research: Over 95% of American children don’t get enough omega-3s, according to a study published in May 2021 [1, 2]. These low levels are concerning. Omega-3 fatty acids are important for every cell in the body. And for children especially, omega-3s are vital for healthy brain development. For […]

“I don’t need melatonin – I sleep like a log.” That’s what many say when they hear about Omega Restore (a combination of omega-3s, vitamin D3, and melatonin). It’s true that melatonin influences our sleep and helps regulate our circadian rhythm. But melatonin’s effects extend far beyond getting a good night’s rest. Today, melatonin is […]

In 1937, surgeon M. B. Daver noticed something odd while using cod liver oil to treat burns and pus-filled sores. “Crude” cod liver oil helped his patients heal quickly. But refined cod liver oil did not have the same wound healing benefits. Did the refining process destroy the properties that made cod liver oil effective, […]

If you pop a daily fish oil capsule – or drink a teaspoon of cod liver oil most mornings – it can be tempting to think you’re all set in the omega-3 department. But research tells a different story: 4 out of 5 supplement users have low omega-3 levels (1). Consuming enough omega-3s is associated […]

It’s easy to get lost in the alphabet soup of the omega-3 fatty acid world. Acronyms like EPA, DHA, and DPA represent just a few of the members of the omega-3 family – and even that abbreviated list is enough to give consumers and health practitioners alike a headache. But what do all these omega-3 […]

Can omega-3s prevent heart disease? That’s been one of the key questions in nutrition since Danish researchers Dyerberg and Bang published their first study on omega-3 fatty acids in the early 1970s. Over the following 50 years, the role of omega-3s in heart health has generated an enormous body of research. While earlier studies found […]
