Omega-3 and omega-6 are essential fatty acids your body can't make, so you must get them from food. Omega-6 (LA) aids clotting and immunity, while omega-3 (ALA) supports brain and heart health—but converts poorly to EPA/DHA, which are mainly in fish. Too much omega-6, especially from seed oils, can fuel chronic inflammation. Balance is key—aim for more omega-3s, fewer processed oils, and know that even carnivore diets can meet essential fat needs.

Chia seeds, a staple in ancient Central American diets, are rich in fiber, omega-3s (ALA), minerals, and antioxidants. Used widely in Chef Janine's ketogenic recipes, especially with the Býli power bowls, they support heart health, blood sugar control, and satiety. With their unique gel-forming ability, mild flavor, and nutritional density, chia seeds are a versatile, affordable superfood perfect for keto-friendly, gourmet dishes, deserts, and power bowls.

Omega-3s are essential fatty acids—EPA, DHA, and ALA—with key roles in heart, brain, and eye health. EPA and DHA come mainly from fatty fish like salmon and sardines, while ALA is plant-based and converts poorly in the body. For supplements, choose sustainably sourced fish oil with at least 500 mg of EPA and DHA and minimal additives.

Chef Janine crafts a vibrant, nutrient-packed salad featuring grilled ahi tuna, Omega-3-rich mussels, and probiotic sides like Sunomono or pickled veggies. Dressed in MCT and olive oil, this dish supports brain, heart, and gut health while delivering clean, refreshing flavor. A delicious way to nourish and heal from the inside out.
