After a VERY busy summer, I finally sat down and did my Omega-3 blood test. š©ø
Troy and I did ours together ā just a simple little prick of the finger and a few drops of blood.
And well⦠neither one of us got great results. š¬
For me, the results actually tell a story.
If Iām being transparent, my diet hasnāt been great for the last couple of years. Emotional eating has been part of that.
But over the last few months, Iāve made some big changes ā cleaning up my diet, focusing more on nourishing my body and adding consistent movement back into my life.
Then thereās the season of life Iām inā¦
Perimenopause.š„³
As estrogen changes during this transition, many women experience more joint and muscle aches and stiffness ā something Iāve REALLY been noticing lately.
(For about 6-8 months)
My hands. My elbows. My hips. Iāve been so achy.š¬
(The Menopause Manifesto is a very good read and covers some great points about supplementation. Omega 3 is covered. Dr.Jen Gunter goes SO much in detail. Great read)
So when my test showed that my EPA was low, it got my attention.
EPA is one of the major omega-3 fatty acids and plays an important role in the bodyās inflammatory response.
So, between perimenopause, my diet over the last couple of years and these results, I have some pretty good reasons to start paying closer attention to my Omega-3 status.
And this is what I love about Zinzino. I donāt have to guess. I can test. And their product is very EPA driven.
I have my baseline. Iāve added BalanceOil alongside the other changes Iām making, and in 4 months Iām testing again.
I want to see what happens to my number but even more importantly, I want to see how my body FEELS.
So we will consider this my BEFORE. Iāll take you along for the next four months.
If you are curious about your omega 3 levels, DM me and I will hook you up with a test. š
