“My Most Controversial Food Protocol.”

For years, seafood has been promoted as one of the healthiest protein sources — rich in omega-3s, low in fat, and “good for the heart.” Yet few people realize how dramatically the composition of our oceans and freshwater sources has changed.

This episode reframes seafood through a longevity lens: showing how modern contamination — from heavy metals to persistent organic pollutants — has transformed fish into one of the most concentrated sources of environmental toxins in the human diet. You’ll see how even “clean” regions exceed regulatory limits, and why replacing marine foods may extend biological youth by reducing lifelong toxic burden.

Key Points

A 2021 Scandinavian study found that one weekly serving of herring or mackerel can exceed the EU’s tolerable weekly intake for dioxins and dioxin-like compounds.

Fish and shellfish bioaccumulate toxins from water 24 hours a day — a process intensified by biomagnification across the food chain.

Modern seafood carries measurable levels of mercury, arsenic, cadmium, lead, PCBs, and microplastics — many of which persist in human tissues for years.

“Small fish” are no longer safe; sardines and anchovies show similar contaminant loads due to continuous exposure.

Plant- and lab-based omega-3s (chia, flax, hemp, algae) and bovine collagen provide safer nutritional alternatives without marine toxins.

Listen for:

How environmental toxins have become a longevity pillar — equal in importance to sleep, nutrition, and movement — and how gradual, data-driven elimination of marine foods can lower cumulative toxic load across decades.
