Today, I’m interviewing Dr. Doug Bibus. He’s my go-to guy for questions about Omega 3, Omega 6, or fish oil testing. In this episode, we talk all about essential fats, as well as some new science on possibly reducing the risk of COVID. We met at the ISSN conference a decade ago, and I’ve been using his omega 3 test with my online clients ever since. Listen to the end for a special offer.
