How to Choose a Fish Oil Supplement: Labels, Freshness, and Dosing (Part 2)
18m | Aug 4, 2026How do you choose a quality fish oil supplement and use it wisely? In this second episode of the series, Dr. Mike Hauman provides a clear "reset" for navigating the confusing world of fish oil supplements.
Dr. Mike outlines nine essential principles for making informed decisions, including starting with real food first, knowing your specific health goal, reading supplement labels correctly, choosing the right EPA-to-DHA balance, and understanding why quality and freshness matter far more than price. He also covers dosing guidelines, when to proceed with caution, and why fish oil should never be used as a substitute for foundational lifestyle changes.
This episode offers a practical framework to help you assess your current intake, choose a high-quality product, and track your body's response over time. If you've been confused about which fish oil to buy or whether you even need it, this reset provides the clarity and confidence you need.
