A new study just came out from The British Medical Journal discussing the impact of omega-3 fatty acids in the setting of migraines. Today, I want to talk about this study and take a look at the science behind it.†
This study showed findings from a trial that indicated that omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil or from a diet rich in fish could be very helpful for lowering the incidence of migraines. Migraines are one of the most common neurological diseases. It is estimated that they affect more than a billion people globally.†
These researchers notated that diet should be at the forefront of helping with migraines. One of the areas of interest is looking at diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are known to help ease inflammation in the body, whereas omega-6 fatty acids tend to drive up inflammation. When people have a diet that is heavier in omega-6s, then this can actually continue to exacerbate that neurological pathway in which migraines are then triggered.†
In the study, the researchers go on to detail how omega-3 fatty acids can help with migraine headaches. Not only do they have these anti-inflammatory effects, but they also have an antinociceptive impact. This can help people who get nauseated when they get headaches, something that is very common in people who get migraines.†
Within this study, researchers had the subjects keep track of the different foods they were eating. They looked at their typical intake of both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Then, they had one group take additional omega-3s. Through this, they found that the group who took the additional omega-3 had a significant reduction in the frequency and duration of their migraines.†
A lot of people deal with migraines. Oftentimes, they’re trying to figure out what the best approach is. They have to see if their migraines are being triggered by hormones or diet, but we also need to recognize that people need to get the right nutrients on board. This includes things such as magnesium, coenzyme Q10 and, of course, omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients are so incredibly important for anyone across the board, but especially for those who are dealing with chronic migraines.†

There is enough science out there now that shows that omega-3 fatty acids have the capability to help fend off inflammation. If we have inflammation in the body or are prone to having these migraine attacks, then it would be advantageous to make sure that you’re taking, at minimum, 1000mg of omega-3 fatty acids a day.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses research looking at the relationship between omega-3 fatty acids and migraine headaches. She explains how omega-3 fatty acids function in the body, specifically in terms of inflammation.†

Most people have felt tired at some point in their life, but what causes this fatigue? Is it due to lack of sleep, stress or missing nutrients in the body?†
Oftentimes, people will ask us what they should take when they’re feeling sluggish. Should they turn to something like Ubiquinol or should they look at ginseng? They’re both really good options, but I want to differentiate between the two so you can understand your needs better.†
Coenzyme Q10 is naturally-occuring in the human body. We can have our serum blood levels of this nutrient tested to see how much of it is circulating throughout the body. Supplementing with CoQ10 can help set you up for more optimal energy coming out of the cell. We have two different options: our Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol) 600mg and our Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinol) with NADH.†
As we get older, the body’s efficiency in terms of the manufacturing of Coenzyme Q10 begins to diminish. When that happens, then you can start to feel more and more of that sluggishness. CoQ10 is also a very powerful antioxidant in the body, so these decreasing levels can impact your ability to fend off free radicals.†

Panax ginseng is a plant. Ginseng has been utilized for hundreds and hundreds of years as a medicinal treatment for so many different human health conditions. In the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, they were looking at ginseng for people who were suffering from fatigue. If we’re really having a lack of energy, then we would want to consider adding in additional energy support supplementation via ginseng.†

When the question comes up of what you should take when you’re feeling like you’re sluggish and lacking energy, I always say take both Coenzyme Q10 and ginseng. The Ubiquinol is required by the body, so if we’re lacking it, we want to replenish it. Then, we can add ginseng for an added bonus. Our Energy HxⓇ, for example, is going to yield you that Asian ginseng, along with Kaneka Ubiquinol. This is a good way to partner up the two nutrients.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses the importance of making sure your body has the nutrients it needs to create and maintain adequate energy levels. She explains the difference between Coenzyme Q10 and ginseng and also details how these nutrients can work synergistically to support energy.†
