However I was fascinated with the tie-in between Omega 6 and simple carb overload and inflammation. Great interview, thanks! I've already listened to it twice while commuting.

During the interview with Dr. Sears it was mentioned that the fish oil tablets found in the local pharmacy may not be the best. Are there any tablets/capsules you recommend? I'm not a big fish eater. I mainly go with meat and chicken so getting my fish oils through a pill is what I want to try. I see that Dr. Sears sells capsules on his site and I was thinking of getting those but I wanted to check with you and get your thoughts Thanks Mike Great interview Jimmy!!

My Dr. had me take a "Calcium Scoring Test" as a routine endeavor. Cardiac calcium scoring uses a special X-ray test called computed tomography (CT) to check for the buildup of calcium in plaque on the walls of the arteries of the heart (coronary arteries). This test is used to check for heart disease in an early stage and to determine how severe it is. Cardiac calcium scoring is also called coronary artery calcium scoring. My score was ZERO as in NONE! It is one of the most important supplements I believe you can take. I’ve been taking 600mg EPA and 400mg DHA for years. My Dr. had me take a “Calcium Scoring Test” as a routine endeavor.

I often feel confused by all of the fish oil research. I do take fish oil, but lately I've been taking krill oil instead. Dr. Mercola really pushes krill oil, so I decided to try it. I haven't noticed anything different...but he claims that it's superior to fish oils. Do you know anything about krill oil? <i>I know low-carb brain surgeon Dr. Larry McCleary wrote about krill oil in his book THE BRAIN TRUST PROGRAM because it has favorable properties for brain health. It's certainly not a bad option for your fish oil. --Jimmy</i> I’m really looking forward to that interview, Jimmy. I often feel confused by all of the fish oil research.

Omega 3's are one thing that I make sure I get in my diet, whether it's with my fav smoked salmon or just the pills, I keep it as a must have and this post really illustrates why that's a good idea! Thanks for the post! All the Best, Andrew R Hey Jimmy,

Great post! Omega 3′s are one thing that I make sure I get in my diet, whether it’s with my fav smoked salmon or just the pills, I keep it as a must have and this post really illustrates why that’s a good idea!
