Dr. Susan Carlson’s story is the discovery of DHA omega-3 in preterm birth. From learning that brains of preterm babies were void of DHA to now helping doctors identify how much DHA their pregnant patients need for a healthy birth. DHA is essential for infants and moms need it too; identifying the healthy equilibrium between mother and child is on the horizon. Building on discovery, asking key questions, trial limitations; her story is a real-time demonstration of scientific collaboration that improves human health.Topics Discussed: 2:10 Dr. Carlson background &amp; education 3:58 Initial research on DHA in babies 6:42 Research on infant vision 14:02 DHA supplementation during pregnancy &amp; early pre-term birth superiority trial18:08 Addressing the role of EPA in pregnancy 19:32 Dietary Guidelines for omega-3 consumption 22:41 Closing thoughts on DHA as it relates to pregnancy Resources Mentioned in this episode:<a href="https://www.kumc.edu/scarlson.html" rel="nofollow">Dr. Susan Carlson&#39;s Bi</a>o<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4978141/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4978141</a>/<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34308309/" rel="nofollow">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3430830</a>9/<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2647754/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC264775</a>4/

Who identified EPA and DHA omega-3? Ever wonder why omega-3 fats are called “omega-3”? How did we learn what fats were essential? In this episode, we take a walk back to hear Dr. Ralph Holman’s story, from poverty to pioneer; how his quest to solve problems built the foundation of omega-3 science. Living legends today sought his wisdom and his mentee, Dr. Doug Bibus, tells the story. Smuggling, brandy, sardines, love, ocean ships, character, and simple living are part of this American dream.

&#34;Dr. Jorn Dyerberg tells the story of discovering the role of omega-3s in human health. It’s his story to tell. More than 50 years ago as a young medical student, Dr. Dyerberg and his mentor set out to understand how Greenland Inuits could have such a low rate of heart disease while living on a high fat diet. A sense of adventure, sled dogs, seal blubber, scientific methods, commitment to publish, and collaboration are all part of the story that launched the science of marine-sourced omega-3s. 
Topics Discussed:
5:40 Dr. Dyerberg&#39;s journey to Greenland 
8:24 Research that contributed to Dr. Dyerberg and Dr. Bang&#39;s omega-3 discovery
