“02:03:18 - A recent study measured omega-3 fatty acid levels from both supplemental and dietary sources in blood and found that for every 1 percent increment in omega-3 fatty acid levels there was a 20 percent decreased risk in all-cause mortality.”

“00:34:40 - Repeated traumatic brain injury has cumulative neuroinflammatory effects in the brain over years, including amyloid-beta plaque and tau tangle formation. Study. 00:44:00 - A variant of the APOE gene increases risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease as much as 15-fold.”

“Finally, choline is also a precursor for phosphatidylcholine, the major component of all cell membranes, which affects the structure, permeability and function of cells and is particularly important in neurons since it plays a role in general neurotransmission.”

“Because red blood cells turn over slowly, the test provides a longer-term view of marine omega-3 status than a recent meal and gives people a measurable way to evaluate diet or supplementation.”

“A later Framingham analysis followed 2,240 adults for 11 years and found that a red-cell fatty acid model including the Omega-3 Index predicted all-cause mortality about as well as a model using several standard cardiovascular risk factors.”

“In this FoundMyFitness solo episode excerpt, Dr. Rhonda Patrick uses Dr. Bruce Ames's triage theory to explain why marginal magnesium intake may matter long before a classic deficiency appears.”
