If we want the right fatty acid balance, the solution isn’t more supplements.

It’s eating the right foods.

When animals eat the foods they were designed to eat, their fat naturally contains the balance our bodies recognize. When we return to whole, properly sourced foods, our fatty acid ratios begin to correct themselves.

Learning how to build that kind of diet in today’s food system can be challenging — which is exactly why we created Forever Young Academy.

Inside our online course, we teach you how to:
• Identify inflammatory foods
• Restore balance through whole-food nutrition
• Support detox pathways
• Build a lifestyle that promotes long-term health

You can learn more at foreveryoungacademy.com.

If you are looking for a fatty acid supplement, it’s also important to choose one that is not rancid and properly sourced. We offer a high-quality option at healthforapurposesupplements.com.

And if you’re new here, visit our website to learn more about The Five R’s — our framework for restoring health by addressing the root causes of imbalance.

Many people say they feel better when they first start taking omega-3 supplements.

And that experience is real.

The modern diet is extremely high in omega-6 fats because of seed oils and conventionally raised animal products. When someone adds omega-3 supplements, it can temporarily move their fatty acid ratio closer to balance, which is why some people notice short-term improvements.

But here’s the problem.

If the underlying diet doesn’t change and omega-3 supplementation continues long term, the body can swing the other direction. Now omega-3 levels begin climbing too high, and the fatty acid balance becomes disrupted again.

Just like too much omega-6 can drive inflammation, too much omega-3 can also promote inflammatory processes when the ratio is off.

The real goal isn’t to push one fat higher than the other.

The goal is balance.

And the most reliable way to restore that balance is by removing the excess omega-6 from seed oils and returning to whole food fats that occur naturally when animals eat the foods they were designed to eat.

Omega-3 supplements are one of the most recommended “health” supplements out there…

But what if we’re missing the bigger picture?

The body doesn’t just need more omega-3.
It needs the right balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fats.

Research suggests the human body functions best around a 4:1 omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.

The problem?
The modern diet is nowhere close to that.

Because of seed oils and conventionally raised animal products, many people today are consuming 10:1, 15:1, or even higher omega-6 ratios.

So when inflammation shows up, the common advice is to simply add more omega-3 supplements.

But too much omega-3 can also promote inflammation when it throws the body even further out of balance.

Instead of trying to “fix” the imbalance with pills, we believe the better approach is to return to the fat balance that occurs naturally in whole foods.

When animals eat the foods they were designed to eat, the fats in their meat naturally provide the balance our bodies recognize.

Follow along through the series to understand why fat balance matters more than supplementing one nutrient, and when a high quality omega 3 supplement MIGHT be in order.

Part 2: The Bucket Theory

Let’s say gluten was the symptom trigger…
but not the root cause.

We tell our clients about the “bucket theory.”

Imagine your body has a bucket.

Inside that bucket are stressors:
• Toxins
• Infections
• Hormone imbalances
• Poor sleep
• Emotional stress
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Gut damage

Over time, the bucket fills.

You may tolerate gluten for years… until one day, the bucket overflows.

Suddenly:
Bloating.
Brain fog.
Autoimmune flares.
Fatigue.
You name it.

Was gluten the cause?

Or was it simply what made the bucket spill over?

Here’s the hard truth:
Sometimes removing gluten isn’t enough.

If the bucket is still full, another stressor will take its place.

Real healing often means:
• Reducing toxic load
• Repairing the gut
• Supporting detox pathways
• Balancing hormones
• Regulating the nervous system

It’s rarely just one thing.

That’s why we look at the whole picture.

If you’ve removed foods and still don’t feel like yourself… your bucket may still be full.

Gluten isn’t the problem.

Modern wheat is.

Over the last 50–70 years, wheat has been hybridized — not genetically modified in a lab, but crossbred repeatedly to increase yield, shorten stalks, and make it easier to mass-produce.

The result?
A grain that looks nothing like what our grandparents ate.

Modern hybridized wheat contains altered protein structures that are harder for many people to break down — especially when gut health is already compromised.

And then there’s glyphosate.

Glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) is commonly sprayed on conventional wheat right before harvest as a drying agent.

Research shows glyphosate can:
• Disrupt beneficial gut bacteria
• Damage the intestinal lining
• Interfere with mineral absorption
• Increase intestinal permeability

So when people say “gluten is the problem”…

We ask:
Is it gluten?
Or is it what’s been done to the grain?

“I’m not dating health anymore. I married it.” This is a real quote from one of our active detox clients.

And he's right.

We don’t commit to our health when it’s convenient.
We commit when it’s hard. When we’re tired. When life is busy.

Real results don’t come from quick flings with diets or detoxes.
They come from consistency.

Treat your health like a marriage:
• Show up daily
• Do the work
• Stay committed
• Don’t “cheat” when it gets uncomfortable

That’s where transformation happens.

Glass. Always glass. 🤍

When it comes to food storage, the container matters just as much as what’s inside.

Many plastics can leach chemicals into your food — especially when exposed to heat, fat, or time. Mayo is high-fat… which means it’s more likely to pull those chemicals into what you’re eating.

Some concerns with plastic containers include:
• BPA & BPS (endocrine disruptors)
• Phthalates (linked to hormone disruption)
• Microplastics accumulating in the body
• Chemical migration when stored long-term

Glass is non-porous, stable, and doesn’t interact with your food.

We can’t eliminate every toxin in the modern world — but we can control what touches our food.

Small swaps. Big impact.
