My guest today is Dr Hans-Thomas Richter based on the West Coast of America and we delved into a bit more science regarding the importance of the right fats in diets.
Dr Richter has a Chinese Medicine clinic in Seattle but has a background in biomedical research. He researched and has recently written a book about the importance of Omega 3 called Nourish and Flourish (available by Kindle from Amazon).
Hans grew up in Germany and is now aware that this was at the start of the introduction of processed foods. This was amplified once he moved to the United States at 21. He is now very aware of the importance of good nutrition, the difference between inflammatory essential fats (Omega 6) versus anti-inflammatory fats (Omega 3 - especially “EPA”) and how the change in animal husbandry, lifestyle and diet has created a situation of what is now called low grade inflammation and chronic disease.
This is worth a listen to appreciate why supplementing the right fats is so important in the Western World to help protect our health long term.
