Question: Is there a test that differentiates between linoleic acid and conjugated linoleic acid? Does the difference between omega 6 LA and CLA have implications with the omega ratio and needed supplementation with omega 3?

I love this explanation. As a certified Brain Health Coach and a Holistic Health Coach, I often find that most conventional med docs do not measures chronic inflammation. It is when chronic inflammation goes to system inflammation, it is when disease follows. thank you for posting this video. I love the work you do 😄

Omega 3 is typically anti-inflammatory and omega 6 is typically proinflammatory. In this talk we will discuss the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 and the nuances. We will also dive deep in understanding why omega 3 is anti-inflammatory and why omega 6 is proinflammatory. Finally, we will review why a continuous balance of omega 6 and 3 is needed instead of a short-term intervention.
