Bland recounts becoming involved with commercial fish oil in 1980 while promoting MaxEPA amid the “fat is bad” era and discusses Greenland Inuit research showing high omega-3 blood levels and low heart disease. They contrast whole-food omega-3 intake with highly refined EPA/DHA products, highlighting additional constituents in minimally processed oils (vitamins A and D, astaxanthin) and precursor compounds related to specialized pro-resolving mediators. Bland describes Omega-3 Rejuvenate’s Alaska line-caught sourcing and low-heat, chemical-free processing, and addresses concerns about mercury, microplastics, and vitamin A dosing. The conversation also covers PLMI’s focus on immunometabolism, a CBC-derived SIRI marker, omega-3 insufficiency data from Fullscript, mitochondrial membrane support by DHA, and Bland’s upcoming book, “The Nourished Gene.”","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/VqZUkCahxIiAeF5-K8EvRI1GWNHpDBp8Xmmm6hLF4BU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lODBh/MjZiYjExYzcxZDZh/MmFmZTQ5ZTgzYTI3/Mzk1OS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
