Episode Description
In today’s show, I break down a quick, at-home finger-prick called the OmegaQuant Test. This simple kit measures the balance between your omega-3 “good guys” and omega-6 “bad guys.” When that balance is off, hidden inflammation can spread from your gut to your brain.
What You’ll Learn
- Why inflammation is the soil where disease grows
- How the OmegaQuant Test works:
- Checks omega-3 levels in red blood cells
- Shows your omega-6 : omega-3 ratio
- Flags arachidonic acid (the most fiery omega-6)
- Real-life case study:
- Severe heartburn, fatigue, and brain fog vanished in 6 weeks after fixing low omega-3s
- EPA vs. DHA—who helps what?
- EPA calms joints, organs, and blood vessels
- DHA protects your brain and nerves
Easy Visuals
- Picture your cells as soft jelly donuts when omega-3s are high—flexible and clean.
- Without them, cells turn stale and crusty, trapping toxins inside.
Take-Home Tips
- Aim for an omega-3 level of 10–12 % and a ratio of 3 : 1 or lower.
- Add a high-quality fish-oil blend of EPA + DHA to hit both body and brain.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
