Do you struggle with chronic inflammation? Do you feel like it’s impossible for you to lose weight and you’re unsure why? Do you feel like you’re not aging as gracefully as you would like? More likely than not, omega-6 is to blame.

What foods contain omega-6?

How do we bring our ratios into the right balance?
