>> thank you very much, dr. jampolis. i'm excited to be here. >> now, as a practicing neurosurgeon, why do you believe so strongly in omax3 that you're willing to put your reputation behind it? >> several years ago, i had a major midlife crisis. my father, a relatively young man, died suddenly of a heart attack. a marriage came apart, and i ended up, because of the stress, leaving neurosurgery, quitting my job. >> wow. that's big. >> it was big, and it really caused me to go into a pretty steep and deep depression that i strongly believe that physical activity is the best antidepressant. but what happened is i continued to run, run, run, and i was like forrest gump running through wheeling, west virginia, until my knees and my ankles and my joints really started to hurt. i started taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories... >> of course. >> ...the kind i gave my patients. discovered that i got an ulcer from that... >> wow. >> ...and subsequently was told about omega-3 fatty acids and

i started taking them, and, sure enough, i had a major improvement not only in my mood, but also in my joints, my knees, my ankles. i became sharper, more focused, and actually was able to get back to neurosurgery and the most exciting part of my career. >> and being better than ever, i can imagine. >> well, i also discovered that cross-training helped me stay much more fit, and i discovered triathlons and began competing. ani' finished my eighth ironman world championship race last october -- i don't like to say -- at the age of 74. >> well, your secret is safe with me. >> i have to say that exercise and omega-3 fatty acids -- fish oil -- really helped restore my mind, my mood, my joints, and i became a sharper doctor, as well as an athlete. >> well, that's definitely inspiring. thank you so much for sharing.

he's a guinness world record holder for completing 30 ironman distance triathlons in 30 days. yes, you heard me right. and he'll tell us all about the remarkable benefits of omax3 in his own life as a 50-year-old ironman. dr. maroon, let's explain to the audience, who maybe hasn't discovered the anti-aging power of epa and dha, why omega-3s are so vital to get into our bodies every day. >> well, dr. melina, 3/4 of the population in the united states is deficient in omega-3 fatty acids. and that's according to the most recent statistics. >> and this is at a time when health food stores and even grocery stores have omega-3 supplements. so they're readily available but we're still deficient. and more importantly, what is this deficiency doing to us? >> well, there are many possible signs of an omega-3 fatty acids deficiency. these include dry skin and eczema, fatigue and moodiness,

frequent colds due to immune system problems, and many others. and if you're trying to lose weight on a low-fat diet, you're likely to be deficient in these essential fats, as well. >> as a doctor, i've seen many of these conditions improve when patients get the right dose of high-quality omega-3s. but to be honest, with the wrong omega-3s, many of my patients can't tolerate the fish burps or swallowing so many pills. >> great point, dr. melina. purity. and i want to challenge your viewers to do a simple test on the fish oil they have and they're taking now in terms of the freezer demonstration that i'm going to describe to you. what i'd like you to do is to take your capsule that you're taking now, place it in the freezer overnight. the next morning, look at it. what you'll discover is that if it's not pure and it probably contains unhealthy fats,

it may even contain toxins. >> wow. that's pretty surprising. and if your pill turns cloudy or white when you freeze it, you're wasting your money and your health. >> as a physician, i get sent supplements all the time. >> me, too. [ laughs ] >> when i received omax3 in the mail, i tried it and noticed there were no fish burps or repetitions. that alone told me it was very pure. and then i found they're individually packaged in blister packs which prevents oxidation and the rancidity that leads to the burping. the 4:1 ratio and the 1.5-gram dose told me it was very effective. but then i noticed the difference in my joints within a week or two, which was even more impressive to me. >> i definitely noticed results that quickly, too. and those are impressive and it makes perfect sense, really, because omax3 is providing 1.5 grams of omega-3s, which is an optimal dose. and the 4:1 ratio is key for

really at the root of many critical health issues in the body, don't you agree? >> totally. >> dr. maroon, we also need to talk about the research conducted by yale university- affiliated doctors on omax3, as well as some of the case studies. and we'll do that in just a moment. >> with the omax3, i feel a lot better, a lot stronger, more energetic. i'm able to stay on my feet longer. it's 12 hours a day. in between classes, you're still on your feet. a lot of joint pain. i'm working out a lot. and i feel my workouts are a lot better on the omax3. >> my major complaint was severe, severe joint pain. the thing that i've noticed the most since taking omax3 is that that joint pain is pretty much all gone. >> announcer: the following is an urgent alert for anyone

key to it. you need to use it every day. >> wow. what an incredible story and a testament to how powerful the benefits of omega-3s are when you get that key 4:1 ratio at the right dose and the highest purity. >> this speaks back, again, to wayne kurtz, who's one of the most phenomenal athletes in the country -- in the world, actually. 30 triathlons -- ironman triathlons -- in 30 days. it took me six years to build up to doing just one. he's certainlyeg also, i have to say, i relate to the fact that he uses omax3 daily to help with his inflammation and also with his training. remember, dr. melina, i had been taking omega-3 supplements for years because i knew it was the healthy thing to do. >> i think that's pretty common, yeah. >> and the problem was, i never experienced the full benefits until i discovered the 4:1 ratio of omega-3 fatty acids.

seen a very significant increase in my energy levels. i've noticed joint and muscle pain that i've had at a low grade for years really diminish and markedly disappear. and i've had the same stamina and staying power to work out like i did in my 20s -- well, maybe my 30s. >> [ laughs ] i was gonna say, "20s might be pushing it a little, right?" >> maybe my 30s. this is unlike any omega-3 supplement you can take. that's why we are so confident some degree of results with their very first box. >> if you're just joining us, we're talking about omax3, the only omega-3 formula available direct to the consumer with a true pharmaceutical dose of high-potency epa/dha fatty acid and without the fish burps. >> as a neurosurgeon, i'm enthusiastic about this 4:1 ratio of omega-3s and its ability to keep your arteries clear, which can improve brain

>> and i think a lot of people like that it's natural, because a lot of people don't want to take all these medications to improve their mood, so that's an excellent point. and tell us a little bit about the ratio. >> well, the 4:1 ratio of epa to dha -- this makes it superior in suppressing two specific cytokines in the brain that are actually linked to depression. in fact, a study showed that omax3 given to patients with normal blood lipids actually reduced overall cholesterol, reduced triglycerides, reduced ldl, which is the bad cholesterol. >> right. >> and by reducing ldl cholesterol, this is a big deal for a fish oil, because most fish oils may actually increase your ldl cholesterol. overall, this helps improve your heart health. >> now, dr. maroon, let's focus on pain and inflammation for a moment. so many of my patients are turning to nsaids for pain relief from joint stiffness, back pain, and all types of

of epa and dha into your body every day help with pain? >> a few years back, i took 250 patients who came into my office complaining of neck pain and back pain. all were on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, and i gave them and put them on a therapeutic dose of omega-3 fatty acids. and within six to eight weeks, 60% of the patients returned and were able to get off and get rid of the nonsteroidals, which we potential side effects. these include gastric ulcers and other major problems. so that for joint pain, i'm absolutely convinced, and i rarely use nonsteroidals in my practice anymore. as a neurosurgeon and as a triathlete, healthy aging is extremely important to me, and keeping my heart healthy, my joints limber, and my mind sharp are absolutely critical for me in my profession.

that a neurosurgeon is no longer using nsaids in his practice for the most part. i'm a believer now. i already was, but i'm even more of a believer hearing about that study. we were able to catch up with your co-author, jeff, and get his insight on the subject. >> as a healthcare worker and an author of a fish-oil book on the benefits of omega-3, i get asked a lot about people having joint pain. jill approached me -- one of my co-workers -- about having joint pain for a number of years, and she had been on nonste and other medications without much improvement. and we gave her a box of omax3, and she, about two weeks later, came up to us and said, "my joint pain is completely gone. i don't have any stomach upset." and she was ecstatic on the use of omax3. >> you know, dr. maroon, let's take a quick break and hear about dr. lang's experience with omax3. take a look. >> we know that essential fatty

are essential for normal brain function and that people with dementia tend to have very low levels of these essential fatty acids. so we do know that it can affect the brain function, including memory and mood. and, in fact, there are studies now showing that high-quality fish oil, such as omax3, can effect an improvement in depressed people. >> announcer: the following is an urgent alert for anyone currently taking an omega-3 supplement. omega-3 fish oil can help alleviate joint discomfort, aches and pains, support heart health, and help promote normal triglyceride levels. the problem is most supplements do not have the right quality or quantity of omega-3. some brands contain as little as 9% omega-3, the rest made up mostly of saturated fat and byproducts that can turn rancid.

almost everyone is deficient in omega-3s. everyone could benefit from this supplement to look and feel their best. in my experience, the store-bought brands simply don't have the purity and the patented 4:1 omega-3 ratio to truly change your life. >> science now proves that the right dose of omega-3 daily at this patented 4:1 ratio will have benefits like the following -- it can lower triglycerides, it reduces inflammation, it increases joint muscle pain, which was particularly of interest to me. >> me, too. [ chuckles ] >> [ chuckles ] and it enhances mood and memory, it helps to manage stress, it actually can improve vision in some cases, and it keeps hair, skin, and nails looking great. >> maximum concentration and purity to lower triglycerides, optimum epa/dha balance to support healthy inflammatory response, high potency for

nothing seems to help. my balance has gotten a little precarious over the years. and i took a fall, and i really hurt my lower back. i want to be more mobile and flexible, and i'm hoping that tai cheng will do that for me. it's amazing, the difference from the first week to now. i've gotten stronger. my knee doesn't hurt at all. and my posture is better. i also think my balance is a lot better. the tai cheng program is really well thought out. there's a reason for every move. the wonderful thing about dr. cheng -- i feel like i have a personal instructor that's standing right across from me. >> as you turn the foot in, this turns into a fist, and then you start sheathing a sword as you bring the feet together. >> the best things about tai cheng is it makes you feel better about yourself. now i can get books off the shelf, and i'm not worried about wobbling. i can walk my dog and not worry about his pulling me over. i can run around with my goddaughter. i feel so good about myself now that i'm gonna try something i haven't done in 20 years.

this is my time to shine, to really do the things i've always wanted to do. i think i will be doing tai cheng for the rest of my life. >> wow! say hello to julie, everybody! yeah, here she comes! julie, how do you feel? >> i feel wonderful. >> yeah? >> and so much more active since tai cheng and i'm flexible and i've got my youthful figure back. >> so, what was your favorite part of the program? >> well, i really liked the fact that i could do it, you know. program, i noticed that i was improving as i went along. and i guess maybe the best is that i got my confidence back. >> oh, confidence is important. >> it sure is. >> and that's a big part of the program, regis. as you get older, we all lose our confidence. we're worried that we're gonna fall. we lose our balance. we're not steady on our feet. this is a huge problem. 1 in 3 adults over the age of 65 falls every year. half of all adults over 80 -- that's half -- a huge number --

to fall again. and here's the worst part -- 95% of all hip fractures are caused by falls. this is such a great program. tai chi is recommended by the cdc as a great activity for older people. so, tai cheng simplifies it for you so you can do tai chi in your home, just like julie did, and get those kinds of results. >> julie, thanks so much for coming to our show. you look wonderful. >> i feel great.
