And some people are better at converting, and some people are not good at converting, even if you're eating all these different plant foods.

So I did it and I was so low on my, I think I was like on the percentile, if 8% is considered optimal, I think I was like three or 4%, somewhere around there, I was quite low.

And then after doing that test, that's when I made a decision, I'm gonna start eating fish.

And when I did,

just me sharing my end of one story i felt like my brain started to turn on again i'm proud to say that the last test that i did i do take fish oil but i do eat a good amount of uh you know salmon sardines other things like that as part of my diet my last test that i did from a mega quant i was like 8.3 8.5 and my goal is obviously to maintain that over the years uh the study that i was mentioning was released by dem

an observational study looking at the UK biobank study of blood levels of omega-3 for individuals.

Again, correlation, you know, this is not a causation type things, but the individuals had the highest optimal levels of omega-3 had the lowest level of cognitive decline in that sort of UK biobank data that they had parsed out.

just interesting data points to pay attention to.

And then you see cultures like Japan and other places that are out there that have a lot of fish in their diet.

And, you know, I think there's lessons to be learned from that.

Anything that I got wrong?

Anything you want to add to what I had to say?

Yeah, that's great.

And, you know, people are always worried about...

What about mercury and heavy metals and other things like that?

And yeah, you know, our oceans are polluted.

There are problems that are out there, but it's a very nuanced topic.

And I'll link to an article that was written by a friend of mine who's a researcher, a clinician, and sort of, I would say, a citizen scientist in the field of assembling all the data that's out there and making an argument.

His name is Chris Kresser.

He used to run the California Center for Functional Medicine and he publishes very regularly.
