Using the Omega 3 Index in Clinical Practice | OmegaMatters EP 5

The Omega-3 Index test is a tool that has been used by a variety of healthcare providers in their clinical practice. In this episode, Drs. Harris and Jackson talk about the utility of the test with Dr. James O’Keefe, a preventive cardiologist based in Kansas City. He has been a proponent of omega-3s in his cardiology practice for more than two decades. His personal journey through the omega-3 world during the publication of some of the landmark studies in the 1980s and 90s fundamentally changed the way he viewed fat. Once omega-3s had been validated in several large trials, he launched a concentrated product of his own as a way to offer high quality omega-3s to his patients. Dr. O’Keefe is also well versed on omega-3 research, having been an investigator himself. Today, Dr. O’Keefe guides his patients on a path toward heart wellness, using the Omega-3 Index to help them track and monitor the impact of omega-3s in their diets. To Dr. O’Keefe, the first step in changing anything is measuring it.

I wish I could nominate Dr. James O’Keefe for a cabinet position in our next administration! He gets it and knows how to relay it!
