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.

Call to Action
Grab the OmegaQuant Test for about $48, mail it in, and get clear numbers on your hidden inflammation. Then join me as we map out a simple plan to cool the fire and feel like yourself again!

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
