Summary

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, InsideTracker, and Rupa Health. I would eat a lot more fish if I knew it was free from toxins like heavy metals, PCBs, and other dangerous compounds. It’s an incredibly healthy protein source when we can eliminate these factors, but sourcing clean fish can be tough. Today, I’m taking a deep dive into the issues surrounding fish, what kinds we should be eating, and everything in between with James Arthur Smith. James Arthur began his journey with regenerative aquaculture as a teenager volunteering at the Nature Interpretive Center in Southern California, where he got first-hand experience with a steelhead trout breeding and hatchery program. For the past ten years, he lived aboard and sailed around the Pacific from San Francisco to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. Throughout that time, he’s been on a mission visiting ocean aquaculture farms, vetting claims, lab testing seafood, and connecting the best-in-class aquaculture projects with farm-to-table restaurants in California. In 2020 he founded SEATOPIA, a gourmet seafood subscription box now delivering certified mercury-safe seafood, carbon-neutral, direct to homes nationwide. Through SEATOPIA, he is endeavoring to scale a truly regenerative seafood supply chain and empower health-conscious consumers to directly support innovative aquaculture projects producing some of the healthiest protein on the planet.

0:00.0	Coming up on this episode of the doctor's pharmacy.
0:03.5	The nuance is where is that seafood coming from?
0:07.3	Simply because it's wild caught doesn't necessarily mean that it was caught
0:13.8	in a sustainable manner and be in a clean environment.
0:17.9	Hey everyone, it's Dr. Mark.

0:39.2	It's really essential to our health and well-being and yet over 80% of the population doesn't
0:42.7	get the magnesium they need on a regular basis.
0:45.2	Now, this is a problem because magnesium deficiency can increase your risk of all diseases
0:49.9	and keep you from performing optimally.
0:51.8	But even more critically, there's not just one type of magnesium.
0:54.4	There are seven different types that we need in our diet to ensure both our health and
