Dr. Hans-Thomas Richter is a seasoned practitioner and researcher in the field of
Traditional Chinese Medicine and nutritional science, with a robust career transition from
biomedical research to natural medicine.

He owns and operates NatureWorks Therapeutics and the wellness resource, Omega3Health.us.

In this episode, I sit down to talk to Hans-Thomas about the challenges he believes we are facing when it comes to health. The biggest problem, he says, is our skewed omega 3 / omega 6 ratio, and the effects which that in turn can have on our bodies and long term health. 

A balanced omega 3 to omega 6 ratio is not the only factor in the puzzle that is health, but one we should pay more attention to. With the amounts of ultraprocessed foods we consume, that mostly contain omega 6 rich oils, we end up with a far higher ratio of the proinflammatory omega 6 in our body than we need. 

Too much inflammation over time can be the precursor to a whole host of diseases, which is why I think this episode is one worth listening to. 

Dr Hans-Thomas and I use and advocate for different omega 3 products, but our views on the importance of a good quality omega 3 supplement if you cannot (and I don't think most of us can) get it through your diet, are aligned. 

If after listening, you have questions, please get in touch with either of us to discuss further.
