We've been hearing about omega-3 fatty acids and fish oil for decades at this point. That's good news/bad news.

The good news is that science has been churning out research year after year on the benefits of omega-3's. Now there is a wealth of information about the benefits for our overall health, including our mental health.

The bad news is that at this point in time omega-3's and fish oils are boring to talk about.

So let's add a little drama back into the conversation...

Remember The Supernanny show? Lots of good reality TV drama there.

Well, it turns out that omega-3's and the Supernanny actually have a lot in common.

Both can help our brains (and our children's brains) function better.

Like the Supernanny does for chaotic families, omega-3's improve structure, communication, and limits in the brain.

Intersted yet?

Skip breakfast, pass on lunch, lose our cookies...

Going long periods without eating is harmful to our brains. Even though we feel “fine” and actually oddly strong & energetic, we are paying a high price. In order to keep going, we have to run on stress hormones like epinephrine & cortisol

The result? All that excess epinephrine & cortisol can rewrite our brains...

Skipping breakfast, or going without food intake for long periods of time can be problematic for our concentration, sleep, and mood. To keep going on low blood glucose we have to access stress hormones, which sets us up for problems with our brain function and mental health.
