About this episode

Matty discusses the issues with fish oil supplements and offers alternatives for omega-3 intake.

That fish oil capsule you take every morning? There's a good chance it's already oxidised before it reaches you. In this episode, Matty breaks down everything you need to know about omega-3s, why most supplements are failing you, and what he personally recommends instead. Key Discussion Points: - Why omega-3s are essential and why most people in Western countries are chronically deficient - The real problem with fish oil supplements and what oxidisation means for your health - How omega-6s get built directly into your cell walls and why a simple detox won't fix it - Why plant sources like chia and flaxseed convert omega-3s at a far lower rate than most people assume - The algae-based alternative that skips the fish entirely and goes straight to the source - Why EPA specifically has strong research support for mood, focus, and depression - How to actually fix the omega-6 to omega-3 imbalance with food first, then supplementation --- FIND OUT WHAT'S REALLY DRIVING YOUR CRAVINGS WITH THIS 30-SECOND 'FOOD NOISE' QUIZ → https://www.realweightlosscoach.com/foodnoise --- Get your 15% DISCOUNT at Phytality by using code MLGET15: https://phytality.com.au/ *** Subscribe to our YOUTUBE…
