Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina found that omega-3 supplements—widely promoted for supporting brain health, could interfere with healing following repeated mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Published in the journal Cell Reports, the study was led by neuroscientist Onder Albayram. His team investigated how the brain repairs blood vessels after injury and discovered a “context-dependent” vulnerability linked to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a key component of fish oil. In experimental models, higher levels of EPA were associated with weaker recovery, particularly affecting the brain’s ability...

In the world of health optimization, it is not uncommon to hear hours of debate about whether vitamin D should be taken with K2, or whether a carnivore diet outperforms a vegan diet for inflammation. But according to a new "rule" jokingly coined by respected neuroscientist and podcaster, Dr. Andrew Huberman, those conversations should be off-limits until basic fitness standards are met.

"I just can't get enough of the machinating and arguing about this supplement versus that supplement," Attia said.
