Omega-3s are one of the most talked about nutrients for brain health…

and also one of the most misunderstood!

From which types actually reach the brain to whether plant sources are enough to how much you really need, there’s a lot that gets oversimplified (or just missed entirely).

The reality? Most people aren’t getting enough of the omega-3s that actually support brain health, and many supplements don’t meaningfully increase levels in the brain.

In this article, we’re breaking down:
• the biggest omega-3 myths
• what the research actually shows
• and how to make smarter decisions for your brain

If you’re taking omega-3s (or thinking about it) this is a must-read.

The Brain Health Kitchen Podcast, Episode #2🎙️
For this Friday’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Ray Dorsey to talk about something we don’t discuss nearly enough: how to reduce the risk of Parkinson’s disease.

He shares 25 research-backed ways to think about prevention, from environmental exposures to everyday lifestyle choices that can make a real difference over time.

It’s a thoughtful, eye-opening conversation that goes far beyond what most people expect when they hear “brain health.”

Fish is often recommended for brain health, but the full picture is more nuanced! 

The type of fish you choose, how often you eat it, and how it’s sourced all play a role in whether you’re truly supporting your brain.

In this Substack, I share a more thoughtful approach to choosing seafood, one that helps you get the benefits without overlooking the details that matter.

A peek into what you can expect from the Brain Health Kitchen Podcast!

For years, this community has gathered around the newsletter to learn, ask questions, and think more deeply about how we can protect our brains and live well for the long run.

This podcast is an extension of that conversation.

It’s a place where we can go deeper into the topics I write about, hear from other brain health experts with different perspectives, and continue exploring the science, food, and habits that shape how we age.

Most importantly, it’s another way to bring this community into the conversation.

It’s here! 🎙️

After years of writing about brain health, longevity, and the science of how we age, I’m excited to finally bring these conversations to life through a new podcast.

Each episode will explore the research, the food, and the everyday habits that support a healthier brain, with thoughtful conversations and practical ideas you can bring into your own life.

If you care about protecting your brain and aging well, I hope you’ll join me.

For years, I’ve been writing about brain health: sharing the research, the recipes, and the everyday habits that support living well for the long run.

But some conversations deserve more space than a newsletter or a post, so I’m trying something new!

This Friday, I’m launching a podcast where we can go deeper into the science of brain health, longevity, food, and the choices that shape how we age.

I can’t wait to share these conversations with you.

 Jennifer is a registered dietitian, Assistant Professor at Rush University Medical Center, and co-author of The Official MIND Diet. She specializes in developing programs that reduce dementia risk and promote well-being through the MIND diet and other sustainable lifestyle habits. Jennifer designs and directs behavioral intervention trials, including the U.S. POINTER Study, the largest lifestyle intervention trial in the U.S. aimed at preventing cognitive decline.

Carrie is a plein air artist, art educator, and founding director of  (https://www.instagram.com/jhpublicart/).

Annie Fenn, MD (that’s me!): I’ll be your host for Brain Health Week. I’ll moderate a panel discussion with faculty about The Art and Science of a Healthy Brain; teaching hands-on cooking classes  cooking school, and collaborating with the Ranch’s Chef  for a farm-to-table dinner; speaking about all the ways you can take care of your brain; & hosting workshops in tea, chocolate, and olive oil tasting for my BHK retreat group that week.

Costa Rica 2027 is officially open!

If you’ve been thinking about joining a Brain Health Retreat, this is your invitation.

For one week, we’ll step away from the noise of everyday life and focus on the things that truly support a healthy brain and body: nourishing food, movement in nature, meaningful conversation, and time to reset.

Think energizing yoga, restorative sound baths, science-backed brain health talks, and a group of thoughtful, curious people who care about aging well. This retreat is 100% vegetarian and alcohol free.

Early enrollment has its perks: our first 10 registered guests will receive a complimentary massage!

Some trips stay with you long after you return home and this is one of them! 🌎

Join us in Sardinia, Italy (one of the world’s Blue Zones) for a week dedicated to brain health, movement, connection, and incredible food. Together we’ll explore the villages where people live some of the longest, healthiest lives, learn what science says about protecting our brains, and experience the daily rhythms that support longevity.

Think: long walks through ancient towns, conversations with locals, shared meals built around traditional Sardinian foods, time to rest and reset, and a wonderful group of people who care about living well.

It’s part retreat, part adventure, and truly a bucket-list experience.

October 12–18, 2026!

If this kind of week sounds like exactly what you need, you can find all the details at the link in bio!

If you’re navigating hormone shifts, don’t ignore your gut!

Did you know there’s a niche of gut bacteria dedicated to metabolizing estrogen in the body?

Say hello to your estrobolome, composed of friendly gut bugs working hard to buffer hormonal shifts. 

In my gut microbiome mini-series on Substack, I unpack the science behind the gut-hormone connection and explain what actually influences this system (hint: it’s more than probiotics).

Swipe for the overview, then head to the full article for the research and practical strategies with the link in my bio.
