All correction starts in the gut, so we work from a lifestyle perspective, incorporating exercise and dietary changes. Supplementation is added afterward. The standard American diet is woefully deficient in essential fats. The fast food industry promotes Omega 6 excess, especially AA, arachadonic acid. This Omega 6 causes a lot of inflammation.

The goal of this care plan is to bring balance -

1. Decrease Omega 6 animal fats (this includes some oils, nuts)

2. Increase Omega 3 ocean fats (fish!)

3. Supplement with Omega 3 EPA:DHA 1000mg daily

*Keep in mind seeds, plants and some oils contain Omega 3’s, ALA, GLA, but these are not

EPA:DHA.

4. Goal is to reduce Omega 6 AA ratio to Omega 3 EPA. This ratio should be 1.5-3 to 1 AA:EPA

ratios.
