Right Fit Clinic

Part 2 of Heidi’s Journey🦋

What started as confusion, frustration, and years of feeling dismissed slowly turned into clarity, validation, and a path forward. Like so many living with lipedema, her story reflects the reality of being told it’s “just fat” when it’s so much more.

This chapter is about understanding her body, advocating for answers, and beginning a treatment journey that actually supports her. From managing symptoms to exploring real options, it’s a reminder that progress isn’t linear… but it is possible.

If you’ve ever felt unheard, unseen, or stuck in your own journey: you’re not alone. There is a path forward, and sharing your experiences helps others along the way.

Omega-6 🔥 vs Omega-3 🧊 — it’s all about balance.

By: William Meditskos, HBSc, ND

Fish has been a staple in human evolution for thousands of years — and some researchers even hypothesize that marine nutrition played a role in expanding the human brain. 🧠🌊 As omnivores, we’ve adapted to thrive on both plant and animal foods — and omega fatty acids are a key part of that story.

Here’s the simplified science:

🔹 Omega-6 (LA → AA)
Supports normal immune function and necessary inflammation. But in excess? It can tip toward chronic inflammation.

🔹 Omega-3 (ALA → EPA → DHA)
Found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines — these convert into powerful anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving molecules that support:
✔️ Cardiovascular health
✔️ Brain function & mood
✔️ Blood pressure regulation
✔️ Cellular membrane stability

Not everyone in North America consumes enough fish to meet recommended intakes — which is where high-quality, regulated fish oil (look for an NPN in Canada 🇨🇦) may help bridge the gap.

Research-backed dosing varies depending on your goals — from general health and prevention to triglyceride lowering, mood support, inflammation, and pregnancy. Always speak with your naturopathic or medical doctor before starting supplementation.

The goal isn’t to eliminate omega-6 — it’s to create a healthier omega-6 : omega-3 ratio. ⚖️

Want to know if omega-3 supplementation is right for you? Book in with Will to chat.
