20% of the total lipid content in your brain, the total fat content is actually made from DHA. DHA is omega-3 fatty acids. So this is why I advocate for high omega-3 fatty acid content. Omega-3 fatty acids are made of EPA, DHA and ALA, but I'm going to stick to the most important ones being EPA and DHA.

We've seen numerous studies now, clinical studies on humans showing that if you feed your brain four to six grams, some people would argue that's too much, but we know that four grams of EPA and DHA is absolutely fundamental for brain health. And that's what I'm having every day, four grams. So two grams of DHA, two grams of EPA.

If I was living in a little island in Greece, I probably wouldn't be supplementing. That is because the fish there is fresh. They're catching it from the ocean that is not polluted with plastics and God knows what else. You can't really rely on getting four grams of EPA and DHA from fatty fish alone. You'd be having tons of it.

I'm sorry, I'm not too sure that in this country, in the United States, that we're actually getting the recommended dose, even a minor dose of EPA and DHA from fatty fish due to the way that it is actually served to us. So that's why we have to turn to supplementation. I don't like putting pills in my mouth. I would rather get it from food, but we just can't.

It makes you feel good, yeah. But I'll tell you what else it does. You're not just feeding your brain. I would say that the omega-3 or the EPA and DHA has a safety profile of an FDA approved drug. So it's completely safe to take. This is why I recommend this for everybody. But what it has is it just feeds your brain and your body in so many ways.

One thing that it does is we know that it can decrease inflammation. Who wants to be in a chronically inflamed state? We know that it can really decrease inflammation. We're seeing studies of it ameliorating, getting rid of and clearing out amyloid beta, which is that toxic protein in the brain. that builds up in Alzheimer's disease.
