The Mind-Blowing Science of Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Heart Health, Brain Health and Longevity with Dr. Bill Harris

This episode is brought to you by Bioptimizers and Momentous. What if there was one key nutrient that could help improve your health, increase longevity, reduce chronic inflammation, and even reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s? You’ve probably heard of this crucial nutrient: Omega-3! But did you know that over 90% of the population has suboptimal omega-3 levels? Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Bill Harris, a world-renowned researcher, to discuss the decades of research he has conducted on omega-3s, and its correlation to longer life spans, reduced rates of depression, anxiety, and Alzheimer’s, and reducing chronic inflammation. Dr. Harris shares that omega-3 is one of the most researched nutrients and one of the top three nutrients that can drastically improve our health. Dr. Harris shares his findings on what to look for in consuming quality fish, supplements, optimal levels, and how to test your levels via the OmegaQuant Institute. William S. Harris, PhD, FASN, has been a leading researcher in the omega-3 fatty acid field for 40 years. He has over 300 scientific papers on fatty acids and health, has been on the faculty of three medical schools, and received 5 NIH grants to study omega-3. He co-authored three AHA statements on fatty acids and heart health. As the co-inventor of the Omega-3 Index (and other omega-3 blood tests) and founder of OmegaQuant Analytics, Dr. Harris has been ranked among the top 2% of scientists worldwide based on the impact of his research.
