Today’s guest Michael A Crawford, Godfather of DHA and brain health, speaks of DHA's significance for every mammal on the planet. He tracks the evolution of the DHA-fired brain from the very beginnings of animal evolution.
Dr. Michael Crawford is a professor and researcher at the Imperial College of London. He is part of the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Metabolism, Digestion, and Reproduction. He is the Director of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition, Founder Trustee of The Mother and Child Foundation and The Little Foundation. His research focuses on (i) the biological reason why docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been so unique in neural signaling for the past 500-600 million years of evolution (ii) application of the knowledge to prevent and treat neurodevelopmental disorder.
Dr. Michael Crawford has several decades of experience researching omega-3s, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In this episode, Dr. Crawford talks about the importance and history of DHA in the biology of our planet, why the placenta prefers DHA more than any other omega-3, how the brain recycles DHA, and much more.
In this episode we discuss:
- The role of DHA in human evolution
- Why DHA is irreplaceable in the evolution of the human brain
- The importance of seafood consumption
