Omega-3’s In Depth: Brain, Heart, Mood & Inflammation Support with Nicole Gitlin
Omega-3 fatty acids remain one of the most researched and widely recommended nutrients for supporting overall health. On this episode, Jared welcomes Nicole Gitlin from Nordic Naturals to explore the science behind EPA and DHA, the differences between fish oil, cod liver oil, and krill oil, and how omega-3s support healthy brain function, cardiovascular wellness, inflammation balance, mood, and healthy aging. They discuss research-backed dosing strategies, why quality matters when choosing an omega-3 supplement, and how omega-3s may benefit children, adults, and even pets. Jared also shares why omega-3s remain a cornerstone of his Vital 5 protocol and why consistent use may be one of the most important nutritional investments you can make for long-term wellness. Plus, learn about Nordic Naturals' efforts to support cleaner oceans through their Coastal Cleanup initiative.
Not all chicken is nutritionally identical.
Not all chicken is nutritionally identical. Farm lab testing suggests how birds are raised may influence vitamins, antioxidants, protein, and fat. This episode explores those differences so you can decide what matters most. #DiveIntoHealth #NutritionEducation #FoodTransparency
Our food system is increasingly spread out
Our food system is increasingly spread out. Eating more locally and seasonally can support food-sovereign communities and align nutrition with what grows naturally at that time. This conversation explores how local foods may benefit both people and place. @wildcandyfarm #DiveIntoHealth #Local
Dive Deep into EEVO
True extra virgin olive oil is limited by where olives can grow. When global demand exceeds supply, oils may be blended or altered. This conversation explores how production limits have shaped olive oil quality over time. #DiveIntoHealth #FoodEducation #OliveOil #FoodSystems
Honey as Medicine
For thousands of years, honey was used across cultures for wound care and other medicinal purposes. This conversation explores honey's historical role in healing. It shows how honey can play an important role in health and why we need to be sourcing raw, real honey. Honey is among one of the most adulterated food products on the market. Look for raw, unpasteurized local honey. If you get the chance, ask the beekeeper about the honey including where the bees are located (many honeys are blended reducing transparency and confidence that the product is pure), ask if it has been pasteurized (we don't want to heat the honey), and if there are any chemicals or miticides used during the process. Look for fall harvest, darker color honeys when available. #DiveIntoHealth #FoodHistory #LocalHoney #Health
Benefits of Pasture-Raised Chicken
Pasture-raised chickens are raised with outdoor access and more natural movement. These factors may influence nutrient content, fat composition, and overall food quality. Which of these benefits matters most to you? #DiveIntoHealth #PastureRaised #FoodEducation #HealthPodcast
Dive into Regenerative Growing
Regenerative growing can look like compost use, no tilling, cover crops, and crop rotation—along with supporting beneficial insects instead of using sprays or chemicals. Different practices, different outcomes. @wildcandyfarm #DiveIntoHealth #RegenerativeFarming #FoodEducation #HealthPodcast
Difference in Poultry
Ever notice the color difference at the meat counter? Movement, circulation, and living conditions can influence how poultry looks—from deeper pink tones to paler shades. Sometimes visual cues tell part of the story. What do you notice first? #FoodEducation #FoodQuality
What is Cold Pressed?
“Cold-pressed” isn’t just a marketing term—it depends on temperature control during production. Without consistent oversight, standards can vary. This reel shares why process integrity matters when it comes to olive oil quality. Thank you so much John Gambini! @txhillcountryoliveoil #Health #OliveOil #FoodEducation #HealthPodcast
Quality Matters
The more we learn about how food is grown and made, the more we realize our daily choices really do matter. Quality ingredients are about taking care of the body you live in every day. Small upgrades. Long-term impact.
If you’re a decaf drinker… this might surprise you.
When we spoke with coffee roasters, we discussed the different methods used to decaffeinate beans. Can look for "Swiss Water" or "Mountain Process". Decaf coffee is not 100% caffeine-free. A small amount always remains.
