Take your omega-3 to a new level!

You’ve heard me talk for years about the importance of including fish oil in your supplement regimen—but not all omega-3s are created equal.

I’m excited to share that I’ve made the switch to a formulation that tops all the rest: Big Bold Health’s Omega-3 Rejuvenate is a premium blend of oils from wild-caught Alaskan cod and sockeye salmon.
