Biohacking Family

Thank you!

I stopped taking my omega-3 supplements regularly. And I was genuinely curious what would happen. 👀

I wasn’t exactly avoiding omega-3. Quite the opposite!

We eat mackerel, sardines, walnuts, chia seeds and generally pay a lot of attention to what we put on our plates.

But after the health challenges earlier this year and months of taking serious medications, I had to simplify my supplement routine and stopped taking balance oil regularly.

I thought my diet would be enough.

Then I took another BalanceTest.

My Omega-3 Index was 4.7%.

Not the result I was hoping for!

One thing I find fascinating is that eating omega-3-rich foods doesn’t necessarily tell you what your actual blood levels are.

And that’s exactly why I find testing so interesting.

I’m now back to taking 10ml of balance oil daily, alongside my usual diet, and I’m curious to see what my next test will show.

I’m sharing this because I think there’s something valuable about measuring rather than assuming. Even when you believe you’re making all the right choices.

Have you ever tested your omega-3 levels? Or do you just assume you’re getting enough?

If you’re curious about your own numbers, send me a DM with TEST. I’ll happily share how we test ours. 🤍
