Longevity & AgingOmega-3s May Slow Biological Aging and Protect Against Muscle Loss
Dr. Rhonda Patrick presents compelling evidence that omega-3 fatty acids may be one of the most overlooked longevity interventions. Her presentation covers how omega-3 status influences cardiovascular health, brain aging, and resistance to age-related muscle decline. She examines data on lifespan extension, biological aging markers, Alzheimer's risk reduction, and post-meal inflammation control. The presentation addresses practical questions including optimal dosing (suggesting 2 grams daily), supplement forms versus fish consumption, EPA-to-DHA ratios, and timing of intake. Patrick explores synergistic effects with vitamin D and exercise, mechanisms of inflammation resolution, and protection against hippocampal atrophy and muscle loss during inactivity.
