In today’s episode, Dr. Cabral and I discuss inflammation, omega-3s, and how they impact our overall health. Here are three key takeaways that you won't want to miss.  The Importance of Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio: Did you know that the typical American diet has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of about 18:1? This imbalance can lead to chronic inflammation, which is linked to various health issues, including heart disease and autoimmune disorders. Dr. Cabral emphasizes that ideally, we should aim for a ratio of 3:1 or even 5:1. He shares practical tips on how to incorporate more omega-3-rich foods like wild fish, chia seeds, and flax seeds into our diets to help achieve this balance.  Inflammation as a Root Cause: Inflammation is often misunderstood. While it plays a crucial role in healing, chronic inflammation can lead to a host of health problems, including migraines, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances. Dr. Cabral explains how identifying the root causes of inflammation—such as food sensitivities or gut health issues—can lead to effective solutions. The Power of Nutritional Supplements: We also discuss the significance of key nutrients like omega-3s, vitamin D, and magnesium in managing inflammation and supporting overall health. Dr. Cabral highlights that many people may not be getting enough of these essential nutrients from their diets alone, especially if they aren't consuming fish regularly. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice that can help you take charge of your health. Whether you're dealing with inflammation, looking to improve your diet, or just curious about functional medicine, you won't want to miss this conversation!
