Show Notes
Did you know that individuals diagnosed with depression tend to have high levels of pro-inflammatory molecules and lower levels of omega 3 fatty acids in their body? In this week's episode we dive into some potential causes of depression with a particular highlight on inflammation. We also discuss clinical evidence on how omega 3 fatty acids can lower markers of inflammation and as a result, how omega 3 fatty acids may lower symptoms of depression.
