00:00:01 --> 00:00:06 Supplements can be a great boon to mental health and cognition.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:11 A deeper analysis of several small studies yielded interesting

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12 information about

00:00:12 --> 00:00:16 aggression and a tool to aid in combating it.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17 Tune in for more.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:23 Hello and welcome to MOMO 634,

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:37 MOMO 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54 If you've listened for very long,

00:00:54 --> 00:00:58 you know I'm a huge believer in God's pharmacy.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00 Previous episodes,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03 like the recent Talking About My Motivation,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08 have discussed the role of essential oils as holistic methods

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09 for supporting mood

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10 and mental health.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:12 Additionally,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 in the episode Be Like Pluto,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18 I discussed some of the supplements that I use that have been

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19 known to have a

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20 positive effect as well.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24 One of the supplements I use is fish oil,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28 and I happened to come across an article discussing a study

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29 that analyzed and

00:01:29 --> 00:01:33 synthesized data from a group of smaller studies showing how

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35 this supplement can

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36 assist with aggression.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41 Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania took a deeper

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43 look at earlier studies

00:01:43 --> 00:01:46 linking fish oil with a reduction in aggression.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51 The article discussing these findings, posted at Science Alert,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:52 said,

00:01:53 --> 00:01:53 quote,

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55 across all the trials,

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59 a modest but noticeable short-term effect was found,

00:02:00 --> 00:02:04 translating to up to a 28% reduction in aggression across

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05 multiple different

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06 variables,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07 including age,

00:02:08 --> 00:02:08 gender,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10 medical diagnosis,

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12 and length and dosage of treatment.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15 What's more,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:19 the reductions in aggressions included both reactive aggression,

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21 in response to provocation,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:23 and proactive aggression,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26 behavior planned in advance.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28 Before this study,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:32 it wasn't clear if omega-3 could help with these different

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33 types of aggression,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34 end quote.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40 I'll link the article about the study and the abstract itself

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42 below this episode at

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45 momo634.com.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48 Additionally,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51 I'll link the supplements recently discussed along with the

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53 fish oil I personally

00:02:53 --> 00:02:53 use.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57 As I always remind listeners,

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01 not all supplements work for and with everyone,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:04 and some are not compatible with certain prescription

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06 medications or other

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07 supplements.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09 Additionally,

00:03:09 --> 00:03:13 each person may require a different dose for optimal effect.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14 For that reason,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:18 it's always best to discuss any supplements with your care

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20 provider before using

00:03:20 --> 00:03:20 them.

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24 Is there a supplement you've found to be beneficial?
