Omega‑3 Testing Explained: What a High Omega‑6 to Omega‑3 Ratio Reveals About Inflammation

In this episode, Jess sits down with Tavis Piatoly from OmegaQuant to unpack what your omega‑3 test results are actually telling you—and why a high omega‑6 to omega‑3 ratio can quietly fuel chronic inflammation in both humans and animals. Together, they break down how tests like the omega‑3 index work, what those percentages and ratios really mean, and how far off the average modern diet is from where we want to be.

Building on Jess’s earlier “Omegas for Dummies” episode with Judah Veitel from Nordic Naturals, this conversation moves from theory into application: real client patterns, example ranges, and what tends to shift when people and pets finally get into a healthier omega‑3 zone. You’ll hear about the links between fatty acid balance and issues like joint pain, skin problems, behavior changes, cardiovascular risk, and that vague “always inflamed” feeling so many of us accept as normal.

If you’ve ever looked at an omega‑3 lab report and thought, “Okay… now what?”, or you’re wondering whether your current fish oil, pet food, or diet is enough to move the needle, this episode will give you a clear, practical framework for testing, interpreting, and taking action.
