🎙️ Macros and Micros Podcast – Episode 4 | Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Why Fish Oil Is More Than Just a Supplement!

Welcome back to another episode of Micros and Macros with Dr. Emery Pitcel of Rothrock Chiropractic & Rehabilitation and Dr. Maggie Sopic of Re-Center Chiropractic Wellness and Functional Medicine!

🌞 It’s May 2025, and we’re diving into a topic that’s foundational to whole-body health: omega-3 fatty acids, better known as fish oil. Whether you're looking to boost heart health, support brain function, reduce inflammation, or manage arthritis, omega-3s play a vital role.

🔬 In this episode, we break down:

🎯What omega-3s and omega-6s are (ALA, EPA, DHA, and arachidonic acid)
🎯Why these fats are essential and where they come from
🎯How they impact cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and hormonal balance
🎯The biochemistry of inflammation and how your cell membranes are directly involved
🎯Why most of us are "fat heads"—and that's a good thing!
🎯How food sources like wild game, flaxseed, and high-quality eggs are so beneficial
🎯What to look for (and avoid!) when choosing an omega-3 supplement
🎯The link between chemical pain and inflammation—and how functional medicine & chiropractic care work together to manage it

💡 We also share practical insights for patients, especially those dealing with inflammatory or degenerative conditions like arthritis, and how omega-3 intake can influence long-term outcomes.

Your body is designed to heal, after all! Chronic pain and inflammation often come from poor recovery, not just damage to our tissues. Pro-inflammatory states stall your healing, but when we reduce inflammation (hello, omega-3s! 🐟🥬), your body has the power to bounce back stronger.

🚫 Tired of thinking joint pain is a death sentence?
✅ Let’s change the narrative. You’re not broken—you might just be missing key nutrients or stuck in a pro-inflammatory loop. We talk signs of omega-3 deficiency like brain fog, slow healing, frequent colds, dry skin, hormonal imbalances, and even mood swings.

👉 From chia seeds and walnuts to salmon and seaweed, small dietary upgrades can lead to big changes in how you feel.

⚠️ Yes, you can overdo it—but balance is key. Aim for a better omega-6 to omega-3 ratio (ideally 4:1) to feel your best.

🎯 Healing is possible. You just need the right tools.

📌 Whether you're a fellow practitioner, a curious patient, or just a health nut, this episode delivers a high-value mix of biochemistry and practical advice.
