Rethinking Omega-3s — Why Algae Is the Future of Sustainable Nutrition

Description:

In this featured conversation from the Honest Health Podcast, ORLO Nutrition’s education leader and host of Nutrition Without Compromise, Corinna Bellizzi. She joins Dr. Jeffrey Burke to dive deep into the future of omega-3 nutrition. Together, they explore how algae-based omega-3s offer a superior, sustainable alternative to fish oil—one that supports both human and planetary health.

Corinna shares her journey from leading Nordic Naturals’ rise in the natural products industry to launching ORLO Nutrition, the first brand to deliver algae omega-3s in a carbon-negative, bioavailable polar lipid form. This episode is packed with insights on functional nutrition, environmental sustainability, and how cutting-edge technology is shaping the future of supplements.
