    May 2 2026

    Discover the truth about omega-3, brain health, anti-aging eye treatments, and total body transformation—straight from the doctors.

    Today’s episode of Ask the Dr was hosted by Dr. Michael Lange, alongside Dr. Susan Summerton, with special guest Dr. John Poser, who added expert insight into aesthetics and anti-aging.

    We kicked off the show celebrating the Kentucky Derby and recognizing Ocala as a premier hub for world-class thoroughbred horses. We also sent well wishes to everyone enjoying the New Orleans Jazz Festival.

    Key Topics Covered:
    The Truth About Omega-3 Fish Oil

  • 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.

    We had an in-depth and important discussion on vision impairment and how it can dramatically impact a person’s quality of life and independence.

These innovative glasses can enhance vision in real-time, helping users regain confidence and improve their daily lives.

    Dr. Lange discussed how this breakthrough technology is now available at the Lange Eye Institute in The Villages, Florida, giving patients access to cutting-edge solutions for low vision rehabilitation.

    • Fortifeye Fit Meal
