You may have heard about Omega-3s and how they play an important role in our overall health, but exactly are Omega-3 fatty acids, and what functions do they play in reducing inflammation in our bodies? In this episode, Daniel and Tana Amen are joined by Dr. Bill Harris, developer of the Omega Index, for a discussion on all things Omega-3.

In this episode, you will learn about:

•The difference between Omega-3 an Omega-6

•The difference between EPA and DHA forms of Omega-3

•How Omega-3s prevent inflammation in the body

•How to text your own Omega-3 levels, and the target range you should aim for

•Common sources of Omega-3, such as fish oil and plant-based versions

•Omega-3 supplementation


What if the small, daily decisions you make about food, thought patterns, and lifestyle are actively shaping your biology for better or worse? That’s the central exploration you’ll find within Change Your Brain Every Day, a conversation hosted by Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen. Moving beyond theory, this podcast delivers practical, actionable strategies rooted in clinical experience. Each episode feels like a direct consultation, where the Amens translate complex neuroscience into clear steps anyone can use. You’ll hear them discuss how specific habits influence conditions like anxiety, focus, and low mood, offering a tangible sense of agency over your own mental and physical well-being. The tone is both authoritative and deeply encouraging, stripping away the overwhelm that often accompanies health advice. Rather than promising a single miracle cure, the focus is on sustainable, incremental change-the kind that compounds over weeks and months to create lasting results. Tuning into this podcast is an investment in understanding the direct connection between your daily life and your brain’s health. It’s for anyone who feels stuck in unhelpful cycles or is simply curious about optimizing their mind. The Amens act as guides, providing the tools to not just manage symptoms, but to fundamentally reshape your approach to your own health journey, one day at a time.
