The gist is combining turmeric, chia seeds and fats (olive or coconut oil) increased absorption.
I am watching a YouTube video, “Chia Seed Alone Doesn’t Work — Add This to Kill Inflammation” | Dr William ?
Why the Combination Works Well
- Turmeric needs fat to absorb properly.
Curcumin (the active part of turmeric) is fat-soluble — it doesn’t absorb well unless eaten with fat.
Olive oil provides the needed fat, improving bioavailability. - If you add a pinch of black pepper, absorption jumps dramatically (up to 2000% more).
So: Turmeric + black pepper + olive oil = effective absorption - Chia seeds help slow digestion, which smooths the release of glucose and fat into the bloodstream.
This can make the mixture:- blood sugar friendly
- long-lasting in satiety
(You won’t get hungry fast.)
- The fiber in chia supports gut health, which may also enhance how anti-inflammatory compounds are used in the body.
How You Might Take It
For a simple daily version:
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ teaspoon turmeric
Pinch of black pepper
Stir into water, warm milk, Greek yogurt, oatmeal, or soup.
Or combine chia first in water to gel, then stir in oil + turmeric.
