Episode Description:

Your skincare routine is not going to save you if you are deficient in the nutrients your skin is actually built from. And seven out of ten people in clinical practice are walking around with low omega-3 levels without knowing it.

Angelo Keely is the co-founder of Kion and one of the most evidence-based minds in nutrition. This is his third time on Heal Thy Self and the conversation goes deep on fish oil, inflammation, seed oils, and why the supplements most people are taking are either the wrong thing, the wrong dose, or completely ineffective because they have never addressed the foundational nutrient deficiencies underneath.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why Gen Z is aging faster despite eating cleaner, and why spending money on skincare without fixing your nutrient deficiencies is like painting over a structural problem in a building

• How omega-3s work at the red blood cell level, what it means for your cells to go from 4% to 8% omega-3 composition, and why that shift produces a 15% reduction in all cause mortality

• The truth about seed oils vs saturated fat, including what the human data actually shows, why the influencer narrative is misleading, and what Angelo himself eats despite what the research says

Plus what pro-resolving mediators actually do in the body, why ibuprofen sends the workers home while omega-3s fix the pothole, and how to know if your fish oil has already gone rancid before you open it.
