During a month-long sardine experiment, I noticed something bizarre: I stopped feeling cold, even during New England blizzards. Digging into the research led me to omega-3-derived molecules like 12-HEPE, which may increase brown fat activity, heat production, and energy expenditure. Even stranger, the receptor involved is related to smell signaling pathways that appear to influence metabolism throughout the body. For the full mechanisms, limitations, and nuance, watch the long-form video linked above.
