    Dr. Michael Lange on Brain Health, Colorectal Cancer, Weight Loss & Omega-3 Myths
    May 9 2026
    ASK THE DR – The Truth About Brain Health, Weight Loss, Omega-3 Scams & Colorectal Cancer Prevention Today on Ask the Dr, Dr. Michael Lange and guest host Roger P. Schulman covered some of the most important health topics affecting Americans today. We started the show discussing cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease, and the lifestyle strategies that research suggests may help support long-term brain health. Dr. Lange talked about the importance of walking 5,000–7,500 steps daily, resistance training at least twice a week, and especially training the legs several times weekly to help support cognition and healthy aging. The conversation then shifted to nutrition for the brain, including the benefits of carotenoids such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin for working memory and cognitive performance. Dr. Lange also discussed the science behind Fortifeye Focus & Brain and the importance of Cognizin® citicoline, a patented and clinically studied form of citicoline that may help support focus, memory, and brain function. We also discussed the alarming rise in colorectal cancer, especially in younger adults, and why it has become one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in men under 50. Topics included the importance of diet, exercise, hydration, quality sleep, maintaining a healthy weight, and reducing inflammation to help create a healthier internal environment. That naturally led into a discussion on healthy weight management and body composition. Dr. Lange explained how maintaining lean muscle while reducing excess body fat is critical for overall wellness and longevity. We discussed the Fortifeye Fit Meal and the Fortifeye Fit Transformation System™, which combines:✔️ Fortifeye Fit Meal✔️ Fortifeye Rejuvenate✔️ Fortifeye Creapure® Creatine + myHMB® + Vitamin D This doctor-developed system was designed to help support healthy weight loss, muscle development, recovery, and healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints—all at the same time. We also revisited one of today’s hottest topics in nutrition: Omega-3 scams. Dr. Lange explained why many products containing green-lipped mussel, squid oil, krill oil, and other marine oils often provide extremely low, non-therapeutic amounts of omega-3 fatty acids and frequently fail to clearly disclose EPA and DHA levels on the label. Dr. Lange discussed why he recommends high-potency re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) omega-3 formulas like Fortifeye Super Omega and Fortifeye Super Omega-3 Max, which are among the purest and most potent omega-3 formulations available. The show also featured many live callers, testimonials, and great questions from listeners across the country. 🌎 Learn more:Fortifeye Vitamins 📞 Call-in Number: 877-969-8600 #AskTheDr #DrMichaelLange #RogerPSchulman #BrainHealth #CognitiveHealth #Alzheimers #Dementia #Citicoline #Cognizin #Lutein #Astaxanthin #Zeaxanthin #Omega3 #FishOil #rTGomega3 #Fortifeye #FortifeyeFit #WeightLoss #MuscleBuilding #HealthyAging #ColorectalCancer #HealthPodcast #Longevity #Nutrition #Wellness #DryEye #EyeHealth #Supplements #Fitness #AntiInflammatSupport the show: https://www.drmichaellange.com/category/ask-the-doctor/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • The Truth About Omega-3: rTG vs EE Fish Oil Explained

    The Truth About Omega-3: rTG vs EE Fish Oil Explained
    Apr 25 2026

    Today’s episode of Ask the Dr. was an eye-opening deep dive into the truth about omega-3 fatty acids.

    Co-hosted by Dr. Michael Lange and Roger P. Schulman, we broke down the science behind omega-3 fish oil and why not all omega-3 supplements are created equal.

    We discussed the critical difference between rTG (re-esterified triglyceride) omega-3 and the inferior EE (ethyl ester) form. The rTG form is more natural, absorbs significantly better, and is less prone to oxidation—making it a superior choice for overall health.

    Key topics covered:

    • Why omega-3 is an essential nutrient you must get from diet or supplementation
    • The dangers of low-quality fish oil supplements (contaminants, poor absorption)
    • How the right omega-3 supports heart health and may reduce atrial fibrillation risk
    • The role of omega-3 in men’s prostate health
    • Why form, purity, and dosage matter more than most people realize

    We also took live calls from listeners across the country, answering real-world questions and providing practical guidance.

    Special Offer Mentioned on Air:
    A limited-time 6-pack omega-3 bundle at 30% OFF + FREE shipping was offered during the show.

    If you care about your heart, brain, eyes, and overall longevity, this is a must-watch episode.
