Women with Alzheimer’s have been found to show a distinct pattern: lower omega-3 levels and higher saturated fats.

This points to an imbalance in lipid metabolism that may influence brain health.

Supporting adequate omega-3 intake through diet or supplementation may be an important strategy for maintaining cognitive function over time.

Look back at my post from April 20 for my exact recommendation on omega-3 dosage.

Sometimes research comes out with results which are really, really important, but about which the person-in-the-street could say “Well, duh! I could have told you that!” A new study from The Health Foundation shows that our years of healthy life have declined, on average, by two years over the past decade. We’re still living as long, but two more years of each life are plagued by ill-health: we’re living sicker.

Furthermore, poverty is the main determinant of ill-health. Exactly as Prof Michael Marmot showed back in 2010, the rich live longer and healthier lives than the poor. The difference has become even more stark, though; the wealthiest people have, on average, 20 more years of healthy life than the poorest. It’s shocking, but it’s not new; ‘twas ever thus.

So, what needs to be done about it? What we don’t need is yet more research, more studies telling us what we already know about how bad things are. “Further research” can be a way for governments to avoid taking action, kicking the can down the road. What we need is nothing less than the elimination of poverty, of deprivation, of the misery that comes with poor housing and crap food. It’s not about “How to make poor people healthier”, it’s about how to make sure that nobody is poor.

As the inequalities of our society, due to the untrammelled greed of a few, increase year on year, so will illness. But it would be perfectly possible, if the Government chose to do it, to make fresh organic produce cheap and easily available to all, and to tax the highly profitable junk food industry out of existence. To incentivise farmers to grow real, organic food, not the monocrop wheat and oilseed r**e which feed that industry, as well as devastating the countryside. To have a vegetable garden in every primary school, and a local farmers’ market in every area. To teach schoolkids to cook.

Organic rocket, not rocket science! 🥬

Cytokines are essential for healing — until they become overactive.

When inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α stay elevated, they can drive:

⚠️ Autoimmune disease
⚠️ Brain fog and fatigue
⚠️ Chronic pain
⚠️ Accelerated aging

The good news? There are science-backed ways to help calm the inflammatory cycle.

Learn how diet, gut health, and Nrf2 activation can help modulate cytokines → https://terrywahls.com/blog/cytokines-and-chronic-disease-what-you-need-to-know-about-inflammation/

Your strength is built in real time. In the moments you choose to keep going. In the days you refuse to give up on yourself. Every challenge you face is shaping you into someone more grounded, more aware, and more resilient.

What tries to quiet you sharpens your voice. What tries to shrink you teaches you how to stand taller. Strength is not a destination it is a process you live through every single day.

You are not becoming strong by accident. You are becoming strong because you continue to rise.

If you’d like to hear more conversations like this, join us at the Women Thrive Summit where women stop shrinking, stop performing, and start showing up as their true selves awakening confidence, clarity, and purpose.

Life can shift without warning. People change. Circumstances change. What stays with you is the foundation you build within yourself the skills, confidence, resilience, and self-belief that no one can strip away.

Standing on your own two feet is not about doing life alone. It is about knowing that no matter what happens, you are capable. You can rebuild. You can rise again. That kind of independence creates peace, not pressure.

Build the life, the mindset, and the future that belongs to you. One decision at a time.
