Taking ~1.5-2 grams/day of EPA and DHA is enough to move most people from a low omega-3 index (~4%) to the high range (~8%), with major benefits:
• ~5-year increases in life expectancy compared to a low omega-3 index
• 50-90% lower risk of sudden cardiac death
• 25% fewer adverse cardiac events (REDUCE-IT trial)
• ~30% reduced heart attack risk (VITAL study)
For longevity and cardiovascular health, this is one of the simplest low-hanging fruits
Curcumin may be one of the most effective natural compounds for lowering age-related inflammation
It's been shown to lower TNF-α, a major inflammatory cytokine linked to biological aging
That target is clinically important: TNF-α inhibitors, used in inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, have been observationally associated with substantially lower Alzheimer’s risk
The phytosomal form matters because standard curcumin is poorly absorbed and rapidly metabolized, while phytosomal delivery makes it much more bioavailable
I'm not surprised that the popularity of the carnivore diet is losing steam. It never was a durable solution for most people.
Ultimately, part of what people were experiencing were the benefits of an elimination diet. But that doesn’t mean a zero-plant diet is optimal long term.
We’re already seeing that play out. Many of the loudest carnivore advocates are starting to add back fruit, vegetables, and other whole foods.
Parts of Spain/Portugal will approach 40°C next week, and we are still only in MAY. This is not “just summer arriving early”. Europe is heating faster than almost any continent on Earth. European agriculture, ecosystems & infrastructure were not built for these extended extremes.
