In this solo episode, Dr. Mike Hart delves into the surprising results of his recent fatty acid test. Despite maintaining a clean diet that excludes seed oils and includes supplements like Omega-3 fatty acids, the test revealed elevated levels of inflammation markers. The episode covers detailed analysis of Omega-3 index, EPA, DHA, and AA levels, and the significance of each in cardiovascular health and inflammation. Dr. Hart discusses dietary changes, such as increasing EPA intake and eliminating almond butter, to address these findings. He also plans to retest in the future and monitor improvements in his inflammatory markers and overall health.
