In this episode, Sharlene talks about how to get enough omega 3 on a plant based diet. She explains why these essential fats are important for your brain, heart, and overall health.
You’ll learn how foods like flaxseed, chia, and hemp provide plant based omega 3, and how algal oil gives you DHA and EPA directly from plants.
Sharlene also shares Dr Brooke Goldner’s Hyper Nourish Smoothie, made with simple ingredients that help your body heal and thrive.
