Fats play a key role in the body’s pro- and anti-inflammatory processes. When fatty acids are balanced in our diet, these responses are able to function optimally. However, the processed foods abundant in the modern Western diet are often made with industrial seed oils, which can lead to chronic inflammation when eaten in excess. While inflammation is an important defense against infection or injury, chronic inflammation is known to cause ongoing tissue damage and is a major driver for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, and cancer.

On the other hand, anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, found in cold water fish, have been shown to potentially improve brain function in people with mild cognitive impairment and decline, improve symptoms in people with depression, and may improve other mental health conditions like borderline personality and bipolar disorders. Not only are fats integral to our overall health and wellbeing, but ensuring we eat a proper balance of healthy fats — and are able to digest those fats — is also key.

The Fatty Acid test measures all 24 fatty acids in the blood, and reports your Omega-3 index, ratios, and trans fat index.

A retest after 3-4 months will help indicate if your diet changes are working for you.
