#544: Omega-3s: Inflammation and the Importance of the Omega 6:3 Ratio with Monique Wellise

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared is joined by Monique Wellise, Director of Education at Natural Factors. Together, they explore one of Jared’s Vital 5 supplements—Omega-3 fatty acids. You’ll learn why Omega-3s are so critical for cell membrane health, why our modern diets leave most of us deficient, and how the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 can make or break your body’s inflammation balance. From dry eyes and joint discomfort to cardiovascular and cognitive health, they break down why Omega-3s are so foundational, and how to choose a clean, well-sourced product. They also cover vegan sources, algae oil, and flax, and why the form and dosage of your Omega-3 really matters. Whether you’re confused by Omega-3, 6, and 9, wondering if your fish oil is doing any good, or looking to cut through marketing hype, this conversation will give you clarity and confidence.
