Summary

In Episode #117, I sat down with Drs Dean and Ayesha Sherzai, leading neurologists who specialise in cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s. Recently, Dean and Ayesha performed a thorough review of the literature to find out how important omega-3s are for brain function and whether or not we should be taking them. They ended up splitting this review into two parts: one covering pregnancy, infancy, childhood, and adolescence and the other covering adulthood. In this episode, we break down their findings with the goal of helping you understand what omega-3s are, where we get them from and whether we should consider supplementation. It was a pleasure to have them back on the show. I love everything that they are about and I’m sure you’re going to find this a very informative episode. To hear more from Drs Dean and Ayesha Sherzai, check out episodes #65, #78, #97, #126, #188, and #226. For more insights and reflections, visit The Proof website for the full show notes.
