High cortisol levels can lead to depression, suicide, and metabolic dysfunction. Small doses of aspirin, fish oil, and specialized pro-resolving mediators can help alleviate muscle pain and inflammation during training without blocking the resolution of inflammation.
High cortisol levels can lead to higher rates of depression, suicide, and metabolic dysfunction, and the ability to constantly push without crashing may be maladaptive in the long term.
The combination of aspirin, fish oil, and specialized pro-resolving mediators is a way to combat inflammation without the potential pitfalls caused by traditional anti-inflammatory medications. Fish oils have been known to help push the reactions in a particular direction to resolve inflammation, however, combining them with aspirin and specialized pro-resolving mediators can be more effective for athletes who experience aches and pains.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick advises consuming fish for omega-3 but if unavailable, taking fish oil twice a week can serve as a potential substitute. However, she suggests getting omega-3 levels measured to determine if there is an actual need for supplementing.
