While fish oil supplements are widely promoted for brain health, the brain only needs 2-6mg of DHA per day, and the typical fish oil capsule provides 600mg - a massive 40-100x overdose that can deplete crucial antioxidants.

EPISODE SUMMARY

Professor Brian Peskin, an MIT-trained engineer turned medical researcher, presents groundbreaking insights about essential fatty acids and cellular health. He explains that 25-33% of our cell membranes are made up of parent essential oils (PEOs) - primarily parent omega-6 and parent omega-3. When these essential building blocks are replaced with processed oils or excessive fish oil supplements, it impairs cellular oxygen absorption and energy production, leading to chronic inflammation. This cellular dysfunction underlies many modern diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Contrary to popular belief, properly sourced organic omega-6 oils are not inflammatory - rather, it's the processing of these oils that creates harmful compounds. Peskin details how getting the right balance of unprocessed parent omega-6 and omega-3 oils, while avoiding processed versions, can help reduce inflammation, improve blood pressure, and even reverse coronary calcium buildup. He emphasizes the importance of organic oils and supplements to counteract the ubiquitous processed oils in our food supply.

"87 percent of what clogs an artery is the adulterated omega-6, not saturated fat like we were told for 30 years... Saturated fat can't combine with anything. There's no binding space on it. It's saturated. There's nothing open. But we have been so misled."
