Yeah, I mean, it depends on the type of fish you're eating too, right? So the best types of fish to eat would be salmon, mackerel, sardines. These are high omega-3 but low mercury fish. Wow. And there's actually even studies showing that the omega-3 fatty acids protect against the mercury to some degree. You don't want to eat swordfish already. Swordfish is very high. That's a very real thing.

If you can get really high mercury levels, then it can be bad. But if you're eating, like I eat salmon like three times a week. You know, I'm maybe four sometimes. I eat salmon a lot. But I also take my omega-3 supplements. So it came back to that question is, do you think you can get away from all the supplements? I mean, I do think that there's a few that are really important.

Omega-3 and vitamin D, you know, you can make it from the sun. It gets converted into a steroid hormone. Very, very important. Very important. It's a steroid hormone regulating, you know, 5% of the human genome. So without it, lots of stuff's going wrong. But, you know, there's a lot of things that regulate whether or not you can make vitamin D, right, where you live.

How much melanin you have in your skin, that's a natural sunscreen. If you wear sunscreen or if you have a lot of protective clothing. As you get older, you're four times less efficient at making it. So lots of things, right? So that's where the supplement does help. So I don't, you know, I would say, no, I would want those couple of supplements.

I don't have a list on my site. I do talk about it on my membership. I have a lot of Q&As I do once a month. I'm thinking about something like having some kind of maybe list because other people have lists of the stuff I'm missing. Everyone's got a list, right? I'm not necessarily right.

Yeah. But my list changes a lot.

It is. It changes a lot. Like sometimes I... You need a rolling list.

I would take omega-3, vitamin D, and sulforaphane.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But I would definitely make sure I'm getting my magnesium for my food because I left that one out.
