Lisa Lopez-Griggs Advocates Omega Fatty Acid Testing, Backed by Urgent White House Call to Action

After losing her son, Judah Bennett, to an epileptic seizure, Lisa Lopez-Griggs has transformed her grief into action, championing a simple blood test that could help reduce seizure risk. Her campaign to raise awareness about Omega fatty acid testing is now bolstered by a new white paper from Dr. Artemis P. Simopoulos, M.D., submitted to the White House and U.S. Department of Defense. She is a pediatrician and endocrinologist who is also known for her extensive research in nutrition and is a global authority on fatty acids.

In her article“Epilepsy Took My Son. This Test Might Save Yours,” Lopez-Griggs highlights the Fatty Acid Profile Test, which measures the balance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 fats, a potential key to managing epilepsy.“This test isn't a cure, but it could be a clue,” she writes.

Judah, a gifted drummer, lived courageously with epilepsy for four years, even overcoming a lung abscess before his passing at age 18. His story, intertwined with that of Hailee, a young woman who became seizure-free through Omega-3 focused nutrition, inspired Lopez-Griggs' advocacy.

Her mission echoes the urgency of Dr. Simopoulos' March 2025 white paper,“Addressing the Omega-6 and Omega-3 Imbalance in the U.S. Food Supply,” co-authored with Chip Paul. Chip Paul, a functional medicine researcher, natural health educator, and co-founder of TrueMedX and Neighborly Wellness. He also holds a patent on modulating the endocannabinoid system. The paper, delivered to U.S. federal leaders, warns that America's Omega-6-heavy diet drives inflammation and neurological disorders, including epilepsy, and calls for a federal task force to address this public health crisis.

“Imbalanced fatty acids contribute to neurodegenerative conditions,” said Dr. Simopoulos.“Testing and dietary reform could transform public health.”

Nutrition expert Robert Ferguson, M.S., C.N., and best-selling author, U.S. Marine veteran, NAACP Nominee, speaker, health advisor, and media personality whose work has helped millions of people live healthier, more balanced lives, adds:

“This simple test can reveal insights into brain health, empowering families to act.”
