Longevity is an emerging area of focus as interest increasingly shifts toward disease prevention and the promotion of healthy aging. This presentation will explore the current understanding of longevity, including the distinction between lifespan and healthspan and an overview of the biological hallmarks of aging. The impact of lifestyle and nutrition will be discussed, along with the role of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). Dr. Miller will unpack the latest science on omega-3s, their impact on long-term health outcomes, and why optimizing omega-3 status is foundational to supporting health across the lifespan. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the evidence behind omega-3 supplementation and practical insights for translating this science into clinical practice.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the foundational roles of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in cellular function and the modulation of inflammatory processes.
- Evaluate the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular, cognitive, ocular, prenatal, and maternal health.
- Apply evidence-based strategies for incorporating omega-3 fatty acids into clinical practice, including appropriate dosing and quality considerations.
