Dr. Rhonda Patrick, a PhD biomedical scientist who has spent the better part of two decades in molecular aging research, walks through the growing stack of evidence that omega-3 doesn’t just make you feel better, it measurably slows aging inside your cells. She explains epigenetic clocks like DNA GrimAge, developed in Steve Horvath’s lab to predict time to death, and how studies plugging omega-3 intake into these clocks consistently find it slows the rate at which they tick forward. The strongest evidence is the DO-HEALTH trial, a two-year randomized controlled trial in healthy older adults where omega-3 was the lever that slowed biological aging, with added benefit when combined with vitamin D and resistance training, plus fewer infections, fewer falls, less frailty, and lower invasive cancer risk. She covers why the dose matters and differs by sex, why low omega-3 is linked to a 50 percent higher Alzheimer’s risk, how higher levels track with a larger hippocampus, and why the common thread is chronic inflammation, one of the primary engines driving the biological clock. Roughly 90 percent of people are leaving that lever untouched. In this video, she discusses: – How omega-3 slows biological aging measured by epigenetic clocks – The randomized trial where omega-3 was the lever that slowed aging – Why the effective dose differs between men and women – The link between omega-3, Alzheimer’s risk, and hippocampus size – Why chronic inflammation is one of the main engines of aging Sources cited in this video: Bischoff-Ferrari et al.
