In this episode of Mindful Objective, we explore one of the most overlooked foundations of health—Omega-3 fatty acids. While most people associate them with heart support, Omega-3s play a much bigger role in brain function, inflammation balance, mood regulation, and cellular health.

We break down what Omega-3s really are, the difference between ALA, EPA, and DHA, and why plant-based sources alone usually aren’t enough. You’ll learn why so many people are unknowingly deficient—even those eating “healthy”—and how to identify symptoms that may signal a deeper imbalance.

We also walk through the power of Omega-3 Index testing, an easy at-home lab that gives a clear snapshot of your EPA/DHA levels, Omega-6 ratio, and overall fatty acid profile. We explain how to interpret results, what levels are considered optimal, and how these numbers tie into long-term cardiovascular and cognitive health.

Plus, we share how to choose the right supplement, avoid common mistakes, and determine a personalized dose based on your lifestyle and needs.

This is about giving your body what it’s quietly been asking for—and restoring a balance most of us have lost in today’s processed world.
